This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's unflinching critique addresses the demanding standards for feminine aesthetics along with the perceived horrors of growing older. Demi Moore delivers a masterful portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, a mature celebrity demoted to presenting an aerobics show on television. Forced aside thanks to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, she undergoes an enigmatic and terrifying treatment known as this experimental method. This generates a younger clone portrayed by Margaret Qualley, culminating in an increasingly vampiric relationship among both women. October 17th, Paramount Plus
This Mystery Thriller
This Agatha Christie-esque mystery includes Knightley as Laura, a skilled journalist who decides to take a break from reporting on global conflict to join a high-end voyage accompanied by a terminally ill wealthy inheritor and charitable figure, her husband, as well as other filthy rich guests. But after an enigmatic female falls into the sea overnight and the entire crew claims she was never there, Laura's investigative instincts take over. Out now, on Netflix
This Supernatural Story
Soderbergh pushes his directorial skills in this innovative ghostly tale shot entirely from the perspective of the phantom. When a household including mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their recent residence, the filming device – representing the ghost – tracks their movements. The daughter appears conscious of the poltergeist, and the entity appears guarding her. But why? It's a fun idea that remains concise, with a twist that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, multiple showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
The iconic actor wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image in this autobiographical spoof. He plays a self-obsessed film star playing himself who agrees to a lucrative offer to attend a festive event at a Mediterranean location for the wealthy superfan Javi. Contacted by the CIA to gather intel on the potential kingpin, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” is put to the test. Saturday 11 October, prime time, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
Scott Derrickson's contained scarefest stands strong even without a follow-up. Located in 1978 Denver, a series of disappearances has left the local kids anxious. Once Finney is kidnapped by the kidnapper and held captive in a basement, he fears a fatal end. Yet the disconnected phone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices offering help, while the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, on Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for greed in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish biopic of the disgraced TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield plays the venal Jim, who states early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. Both individuals commence capitalizing on the American public's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of tacky decor, bad makeup and insincerity, however the lead actress manages to depict the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, on Film4
The Spy Mystery
The current week's second offering from Steven Soderbergh presents a intelligence thriller as precise like the turtlenecks worn by Michael Fassbender's intelligence officer. His assignment is to identify a mole among the team from five suspects – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Each performer are experts of calm composure, resulting in an engaging psychological game of fact versus fiction develops. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the clever spy entertainment. October 17th, various showings, Sky Cinema
