The Substance Film
The filmmaker's daring critique tackles the tyranny of women's appearance along with the dreaded aspects of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore offers an inspired portrayal as Elisabeth, a 50-year-old film star forced into starring in an aerobics show on TV. Forced aside thanks to her slimy boss her manager Harvey, she seeks out a mysterious and gruesome process titled the Substance.

This classic whodunit story features Keira Knightley in the role of Laura, a skilled journalist who takes a hiatus from covering global conflict to join an opulent ship accompanied by a gravely sick Scandinavian billionaire and charitable figure, her spouse, plus additional extremely wealthy passengers.

This Supernatural Story
Steven Soderbergh tests his directorial skills with this clever ghostly tale shot entirely through the eyes of the phantom. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their new suburban house, the lens – AKA the Presence – follows them around. Chloe seems aware of the ghostly being, and it seems protective of her. But why? It's a fun idea that avoids overstaying, including a revelation that may be unexpected. Saturday 11 October, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
The iconic actor embraces his unique fame in this meta comedy caper. He plays a narcissistic Hollywood actor called Nicolas Cage who accepts a million-dollar gig to visit a festive event at a Mediterranean location for billionaire superfan Javi. Contacted by the CIA to gather intel on the potential kingpin, his unconventional method proves useful. October 11th, evening, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
The director's claustrophobic thriller holds up well despite the lack of a continuation. Set in 1978 Denver, a series of disappearances has left the youth anxious. When Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and locked up in a dungeon, he fears the worst. Yet the old telephone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with spooky callers offering help, while the prophetic visions from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, late evening, the Film4 channel
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for materialism in Michael Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top true story about the fallen televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who proclaims early on, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye set about profiting from the nation's Christian beliefs. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, overdone appearance and insincerity, however the lead actress manages to present the character with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, late night, the Film4 channel
The Spy Mystery
This period's additional entry from Steven Soderbergh is a espionage tale as precise similar to the collars used by Fassbender's British agent. He receives a mission to identify a mole within their ranks from five suspects – one of whom is his spouse. Both actors excel of understated style, leading to a delightful psychological game of truth or lie unfolds. Additional actors participate the intelligent intelligence fun.
