This Satirical Thriller
Director Coralie Fargeat's unflinching critique addresses the demanding standards for women's appearance along with the dreaded aspects of advancing years.

This generates a youthful duplicate named Sue, resulting in an increasingly toxic connection among both women. Friday 17 October, Paramount Plus

Presence Film
The acclaimed director pushes his film-making abilities through this nifty ghostly tale captured wholly from the perspective of a ghost. When a household including mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe occupies their fresh home, the camera – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements. Chloe seems sensing the poltergeist, and the entity appears protective of her. Yet what is the reason? This is an entertaining concept that avoids overstaying, with a twist that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema

The Black Phone
Scott Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong even without a sequel. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, several kidnappings has made the youth on edge. Once Finney is taken by the kidnapper and held captive in a dungeon, he dreads a terrible outcome. Yet the old telephone on the wall continues to ring, with spooky callers providing assistance, as the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. A solid creepfest. October 11th, late evening, the Film4 channel
This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for Mammon in Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation about the fallen TV preacher and her criminal husband. The actor acts as the corrupt Bakker, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence monetising the people's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, yet Chastain achieves to show the character in a likable light. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
Black Bag
This week's additional entry from the filmmaker is a spy mystery as sharp like the turtlenecks worn by the actor's UK spy. He is tasked to discover a traitor within their ranks from a group of five – one of whom is his own wife. The two stars are experts of understated style, so a delicious psychological game of truth or lie develops. Additional actors take part the smart espionage amusement. Friday 17 October, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema Premiere
