Highlighted Choice
The Substance Film
The filmmaker's bold satire examines the demanding standards for female beauty along with the perceived horrors of growing older. The veteran actress presents a masterful portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old film star reduced to presenting a fitness program on television. Pushed out by her deceitful superior Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she seeks out an enigmatic and gruesome process known as "The Substance". This generates a younger clone called Sue, leading to a steadily more toxic connection between the two. This Friday, Paramount Plus
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This classic whodunit mystery includes the talented actress as Laura, a top-notch writer who opts for a break from writing about international wars to join an opulent ship with a terminally ill Scandinavian billionaire and charitable figure, her spouse, and other extremely wealthy individuals. Yet once an enigmatic female goes overboard during the evening and everyone denies she ever existed, Laura's investigative instincts kick in. Available now, the Netflix platform
Presence Film
Steven Soderbergh tests his directorial skills with this clever paranormal narrative filmed completely from the perspective of a ghost. As a family including mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe settles into their fresh home, the lens – AKA the Presence – follows them around. The daughter appears sensing the supernatural presence, and it looks like protective of her. However, the motive remains? It's a fun idea that remains concise, 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 cult stardom through this self-referential adventure. He acts as a narcissistic celebrity called Nicolas Cage who agrees to a lucrative offer to attend a festive event on the Spanish island for billionaire Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Recruited by the intelligence agency to investigate the potential kingpin, the actor's unconventional method is put to the test. Saturday 11 October, evening, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller holds up well without requiring a follow-up. Located in the late 70s in Denver, multiple kidnappings has made the local kids on edge. When Finney gets captured by the villain and locked up in a dungeon, he anticipates a fatal end. But the old telephone mounted nearby keeps ringing, with spooky callers offering help, and the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen may be his salvation. A solid creepfest. October 11th, nighttime, on Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for greed in Showalter's delightfully tacky true story of the disgraced TV preacher and her felon spouse. The actor acts as the venal Jim, who proclaims early on, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye commence profiting from the nation's religious faith. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, however Chastain achieves to show the character with compassion. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
This Espionage Thriller
The current week's second offering by the same director is a intelligence thriller as tight similar to the collars worn by Michael Fassbender's British agent. His assignment is with uncovering a traitor inside the organization from a group of five – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. The two stars are experts of understated style, so a delicious mental battle of deception or honesty unfolds. Additional actors take part the clever spy entertainment. This Friday, multiple time slots, the Sky channel
