Top Selection
The Substance
Director Coralie Fargeat's bold critique examines the tyranny of women's appearance along with the dreaded aspects of ageing. Demi Moore delivers a masterful portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old actress forced into hosting an aerobics show on television. Edged out due to her deceitful superior Harvey, she turns to a secretive and gruesome treatment called this experimental method. This generates a younger clone named Sue, leading to a progressively parasitic dynamic among both women. Friday 17 October, the streaming service Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10
This classic whodunit story features Keira Knightley playing Laura, an ace reporter who decides to take some time off from covering global conflict to join a high-end voyage alongside a terminally ill wealthy inheritor and philanthropist, her spouse, as well as other affluent individuals. However when a mysterious woman disappears from the ship during the evening and everyone insists she wasn't real, Laura's investigative instincts kick in. Streaming currently, on Netflix
Presence Film
Soderbergh pushes his directorial skills through this innovative ghostly tale captured wholly from the perspective of the phantom. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their recent residence, the filming device – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements. The daughter appears aware of the ghostly being, and it seems guarding her. However, the motive remains? This is an entertaining concept that doesn't outstay its welcome, with a twist you might not see coming. This Saturday, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Cage wholeheartedly adopts his cult stardom via this autobiographical spoof. He acts as a self-obsessed film star named Nicolas Cage who agrees to a million-dollar gig to attend a celebration at a Mediterranean location for billionaire Javi Gutierrez. Recruited by government spies to spy on the potential kingpin, his unconventional method comes in handy. This Saturday, 9pm, Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
The director's contained scarefest remains effective despite the lack of a follow-up. Taking place in 1978 Denver, multiple child abductions has left the youth frightened. Once Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and held captive in a dungeon, he dreads a terrible outcome. However, the non-functional line in the room repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators providing assistance, as the prescient dreams from his sibling Gwen may be his salvation. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, nighttime, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for greed in Showalter's wonderfully garish true story of the disgraced televangelist and her criminal husband. The actor portrays the venal Jim, who states at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye set about monetising the American public's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and bad faith, though Jessica Chastain succeeds to show Tammy Faye with compassion. October 14th, early morning, Film4
Black Bag
This period's another release from the filmmaker presents a spy mystery as sharp as the polo necks sported by the actor's UK spy. His assignment is with uncovering a mole inside the organization out of five possibilities – one of whom is his own wife. The two stars are masters of calm composure, so a delicious psychological game of deception or honesty unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela take part the smart espionage amusement. Friday 17 October, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, the Sky channel
