Highlighted Choice
The Substance Film
Coralie Fargeat's daring satire addresses the tyranny of feminine aesthetics as well as the dreaded aspects of ageing. The veteran actress offers a masterful acting turn as Elisabeth, a mature celebrity forced into starring in a fitness program on television. Edged out due to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she seeks out a secretive and horrifying process called this experimental method. This creates a new version of herself named Sue, resulting in a progressively toxic connection among both women. October 17th, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10
This suspenseful mystery stars Keira Knightley in the role of Laura, a top-notch writer who decides to take a break from writing about world issues to board an opulent ship accompanied by a gravely sick Scandinavian billionaire and donor, her spouse, as well as other affluent passengers. However when a mysterious woman goes overboard during the evening and the entire crew denies she ever existed, the reporter's sleuthing skills awaken. Streaming currently, Netflix
Presence Film
Soderbergh tests his film-making abilities through this clever ghostly tale captured wholly from the viewpoint of the spirit. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe settles into their new suburban house, the camera – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of sensing the supernatural presence, and it seems defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? This is an entertaining concept that doesn't outstay its welcome, with a twist that could catch you off guard. Saturday 11 October, multiple showings, Sky Cinema
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Cage wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image through this self-referential adventure. He acts as a narcissistic celebrity playing himself who accepts a lucrative offer to appear at a festive event at a Mediterranean location for the rich Javi Gutierrez. Hired by the intelligence agency to gather intel on the potential kingpin, Cage's unconventional method is put to the test. This Saturday, evening, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective despite the lack of a follow-up. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, multiple disappearances has made the local kids on edge. When Finney is taken by the kidnapper and held captive in a basement, he fears a terrible outcome. But the old telephone mounted nearby continues to ring, with spooky callers offering help, and the prophetic visions of Gwen, his sister could save him. A solid creepfest. October 11th, late evening, on Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for materialism in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish true story about the fallen religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who declares initially, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye commence profiting from the nation's religious faith. It's a spectacle of poor styling, bad makeup and bad faith, however Jessica Chastain succeeds to show the real-life figure in a likable light. October 14th, late night, Film4
