Highlighted Choice
The Substance Film
Coralie Fargeat's bold satire examines the demanding standards for female beauty as well as the perceived horrors of ageing. Demi Moore presents a masterful performance in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old actress demoted to starring in a fitness program on television. Forced aside thanks to her slimy boss Harvey, she turns to a secretive and horrifying process called this experimental method. This produces a new version of herself named Sue, culminating in a progressively parasitic dynamic between the two. This Friday, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This Agatha Christie-esque mystery stars the talented actress as Laura, an ace reporter who takes a hiatus from covering global conflict to join a luxury cruise accompanied by a gravely sick Norwegian shipping heiress and charitable figure, her partner, as well as other extremely wealthy passengers. But after a mysterious woman falls into the sea overnight and everyone denies she ever existed, the reporter's sleuthing skills take over. Streaming currently, the Netflix platform
Presence
Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries in this innovative ghostly tale shot entirely through the eyes of the phantom. When a household featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe occupies their fresh home, the lens – AKA the Presence – tracks their movements. The daughter appears aware of the poltergeist, and it seems protective of her. Yet what is the reason? This is an entertaining concept that avoids overstaying, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. October 11th, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
The iconic actor wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image through this self-referential adventure. He portrays a narcissistic film star called Nicolas Cage who accepts a lucrative offer to attend a celebration on the Spanish island for billionaire Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Contacted by government spies to spy on the suspected cartel boss, Cage's unconventional method comes in handy. This Saturday, evening, Channel 4
The Black Phone
The director's contained scarefest remains effective despite the lack of a sequel. Located in the late 70s in Denver, multiple child abductions has made the children on edge. When Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and held captive in a basement, he dreads a fatal end. However, the old telephone mounted nearby continues to ring, with spooky callers providing assistance, and the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen might rescue him. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, 10.50pm, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for greed in this director's brilliantly over-the-top true story about the fallen televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals commence profiting from the people's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, however the lead actress succeeds to depict Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, late night, Film4
Black Bag
This week's another release from the filmmaker delivers a spy mystery as sharp similar to the collars used by Fassbender's intelligence officer. He receives a mission to discover a traitor inside the organization from a group of five – one of whom is his spouse.

Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela take part the clever spy entertainment. Friday 17 October, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema
