This Supernatural Story

Steven Soderbergh challenges his film-making abilities with this innovative paranormal narrative shot entirely from the viewpoint of the spirit. When a household including mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe settles into their new suburban house, the filming device – representing the ghost – tracks their movements. The teen shows signs of conscious of the poltergeist, and it seems guarding her. But why? It's a fun idea that remains concise, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. October 11th, multiple showings, Sky Cinema


Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy

The iconic actor wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image via this self-referential adventure. He plays a narcissistic film star playing himself who agrees to a $1m payday to attend a birthday party in Mallorca for billionaire superfan Javi. Recruited by government spies to spy on the potential kingpin, Cage's unconventional method comes in handy. This Saturday, 9pm, on Channel 4


The Black Phone Horror

Scott Derrickson's contained scarefest holds up well even without a continuation. Located in 1970s Colorado, multiple kidnappings has made the local kids anxious. After Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and locked up in a dungeon, he fears a fatal end. But the disconnected phone on the wall repeatedly calls, with spooky callers providing assistance, and the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, 10.50pm, the Film4 channel


The Tammy Faye Biopic

In the struggle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for greed in Showalter's delightfully tacky true story regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. The actor portrays the greedy Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin profiting from the people's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, however Chastain succeeds to present Tammy Faye with compassion. October 14th, 1.15am, Film4


This Espionage Thriller

This period's second offering by the same director is a spy mystery as tight similar to the collars sported by the actor's intelligence officer. He receives a mission with uncovering a mole among the team out of five possibilities – one of whom is his own wife. Each performer excel of calm composure, leading to a delightful psychological game of fact versus fiction develops. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the clever spy entertainment. This Friday, various showings, Sky Cinema
