Highlighted Choice
The Substance Film
Director Coralie Fargeat's unflinching satire tackles the oppressive nature of feminine aesthetics along with the perceived horrors of growing older. The veteran actress offers a brilliant performance playing Elisabeth, a 50-year-old celebrity reduced to hosting a workout series on TV. Edged out due to her slimy boss her manager Harvey, she turns to a secretive and gruesome process titled "The Substance". This produces a youthful duplicate named Sue, resulting in a progressively vampiric relationship among both women. This Friday, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10
This Agatha Christie-esque thriller stars Knightley playing Laura, a skilled journalist who takes a hiatus from covering global conflict to board an opulent ship alongside a gravely sick Scandinavian billionaire and donor, her spouse, and other affluent passengers. However when a mysterious woman falls into the sea overnight and the entire crew insists she wasn't real, her journalistic curiosity kick in. Available now, Netflix
This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director pushes his creative boundaries through this clever supernatural story captured wholly from the perspective of the spirit. As a family including mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe moves into their recent residence, the camera – AKA the Presence – tracks their movements. The teen shows signs of conscious of the supernatural presence, and the entity appears guarding her. However, the motive remains? The premise is enjoyable that doesn't outstay its welcome, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. This Saturday, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Cage wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame via this autobiographical spoof. He acts as a self-obsessed film star playing himself who agrees to a million-dollar gig to attend a birthday party in Mallorca for billionaire Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Recruited by the CIA to investigate the suspected cartel boss, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. This Saturday, evening, Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
Scott Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective despite the lack of a continuation. Set in the late 70s in Denver, several kidnappings has rendered the local kids on edge. Once Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and imprisoned in a basement, he anticipates the worst. However, the non-functional line mounted nearby continues to ring, with spooky callers offering help, and the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister could save him. A genuinely scary movie. October 11th, 10.50pm, the Film4 channel
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's delightfully tacky true story of the disgraced televangelist and her criminal husband. Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who states initially, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye begin profiting from the American public's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and bad faith, yet Jessica Chastain manages to depict the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
This Espionage Thriller
This week's another release from the filmmaker delivers a intelligence thriller as sharp similar to the collars worn by the actor's British agent. He receives a mission with uncovering a traitor inside the organization from a group of five – among them is his own wife. Both actors are masters of deadpan cool, resulting in an engaging psychological game of fact versus fiction unfolds. Additional actors participate the smart espionage amusement. This Friday, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema Premiere
