Top Selection
The Substance Film
Coralie Fargeat's unflinching commentary tackles the demanding standards for female beauty and the perceived horrors of growing older. The veteran actress delivers a brilliant portrayal playing Elisabeth, an aging film star demoted to presenting a fitness program on TV. Forced aside due to her slimy boss Harvey, she turns to a mysterious and gruesome treatment called this experimental method. This creates a new version of herself portrayed by Margaret Qualley, resulting in an increasingly vampiric relationship between the two. October 17th, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10
This suspenseful story includes Knightley in the role of Laura, a top-notch writer who takes a break from writing about global conflict to join a luxury cruise with an ailing wealthy inheritor and philanthropist, her husband, plus additional extremely wealthy guests. However when an unknown lady goes overboard overnight and the entire crew denies she ever existed, her journalistic curiosity take over. Available now, on Netflix
Presence Film
Steven Soderbergh challenges his film-making abilities through this nifty supernatural story filmed completely from the perspective of a ghost. As a family including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their fresh home, the lens – as the unseen entity – follows them around. The daughter appears aware of the supernatural presence, and the entity appears protective of her. But why? It's a fun idea that remains concise, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. October 11th, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
This Self-Referential Film
The iconic actor wholeheartedly adopts his cult stardom through this autobiographical spoof. He portrays an egotistical Hollywood actor named Nicolas Cage who takes on a lucrative offer to visit a birthday party on the Spanish island for billionaire Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Hired by the CIA to spy on the suspected cartel boss, the actor's unconventional method is put to the test. October 11th, prime time, the Channel 4 network
The Black Phone
Derrickson's locked-room horror holds up well without requiring a continuation. Set in 1978 Denver, a series of kidnappings has made the children frightened. When Finney is kidnapped by the villain and imprisoned in a basement, he anticipates the worst. Yet the disconnected phone in the room repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices giving advice, and the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen could save him. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, on Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for Mammon in Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation about the fallen religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin capitalizing on the American public's religious faith. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, however Chastain succeeds to depict Tammy Faye in a likable light. October 14th, 1.15am, on Film4
This Espionage Thriller
The current week's additional entry by the same director delivers a espionage tale as sharp as the polo necks used by Fassbender's intelligence officer. He receives a mission with uncovering a traitor among the team out of five possibilities – among them is his own wife. Both actors are masters of calm composure, so a delicious mental battle of deception or honesty unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the smart espionage amusement. October 17th, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
