This Satirical Thriller
Director Coralie Fargeat's bold critique examines the tyranny of female beauty as well as the dreaded aspects of ageing. Demi Moore presents a brilliant portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, an aging celebrity reduced to presenting a fitness program on television.

This creates a youthful duplicate named Sue, leading to a steadily more vampiric relationship between the two. October 17th, Paramount Plus
The Woman in Cabin 10
This Agatha Christie-esque mystery stars the talented actress playing Laura, an ace reporter who takes some time off from covering international wars to join a high-end voyage with a terminally ill Norwegian shipping heiress and philanthropist, her spouse, plus additional affluent passengers.

Presence Film
Steven Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities in this innovative supernatural story shot entirely through the eyes of the spirit. When a household including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the lens – AKA the Presence – follows them around. The teen shows signs of aware of the supernatural presence, and it seems defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? The premise is enjoyable that avoids overstaying, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Cage wholeheartedly adopts his cult stardom via this meta comedy caper. He acts as a self-obsessed film star called Nicolas Cage who accepts a lucrative offer to appear at a celebration in Mallorca for the rich Javi Gutierrez. Hired by government spies to investigate the suspected cartel boss, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. October 11th, evening, on Channel 4
The Black Phone
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective despite the lack of a continuation. Located in 1970s Colorado, a series of disappearances has rendered the youth frightened. When Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and held captive in a dungeon, he dreads the worst. But the old telephone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with spooky callers offering help, as the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister could save him. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, nighttime, Film4
This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for Mammon in this director's wonderfully garish true story about the fallen TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield acts as the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims initially, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals begin monetising the nation's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of tacky decor, overdone appearance and insincerity, though the lead actress manages to present the character in a likable light. Next Tuesday, late night, the Film4 channel
The Spy Mystery
This period's another release by the same director is a espionage tale as sharp similar to the collars worn by Fassbender's British agent. He is tasked to identify a mole inside the organization from a group of five – among them is his spouse. The two stars are experts of understated style, so a delicious mental battle of fact versus fiction takes place. Additional actors participate the clever spy entertainment. This Friday, various showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
