Presence
The acclaimed director pushes his directorial skills in this nifty ghostly tale filmed completely from the viewpoint of the phantom. As a family with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their fresh home, the camera – AKA the Presence – tracks their movements. The teen shows signs of conscious of the ghostly being, and it seems defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? This is an entertaining concept that remains concise, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, the Sky channel
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Nicolas Cage embraces his unique fame in this self-referential adventure. He plays a narcissistic Hollywood actor playing himself who takes on a lucrative offer to attend a festive event at a Mediterranean location for the wealthy Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Hired by government spies to spy on the suspected cartel boss, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. This Saturday, evening, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
Scott Derrickson's contained scarefest remains effective even without a follow-up. Located in 1978 Denver, a series of child abductions has left the youth anxious. After Finney is kidnapped by the villain and locked up in a cellar, he dreads a terrible outcome. However, the non-functional line mounted nearby keeps ringing, with eerie communicators giving advice, as the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister could save him. A solid creepfest. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for materialism in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. The actor plays the venal Jim, who states early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. Both individuals begin monetising the nation's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, overdone appearance and bad faith, however the lead actress succeeds to present the character as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, 1.15am, the Film4 channel
The Spy Mystery
The current week's additional entry from Steven Soderbergh is a intelligence thriller as precise similar to the collars worn by Fassbender's intelligence officer. He receives a mission to identify a traitor among the team out of five possibilities – among them is his spouse. Both actors excel of calm composure, so a delicious psychological game of fact versus fiction takes place. Additional actors take part the intelligent intelligence fun.
