This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director challenges his creative boundaries in this nifty paranormal narrative captured wholly through the eyes of the phantom. As a family including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the lens – AKA the Presence – shadows their actions.

The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, including a revelation you might not see coming. Saturday 11 October, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema
This Self-Referential Film
Cage wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image in this autobiographical spoof.

This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's contained scarefest holds up well without requiring a sequel. Taking place in 1978 Denver, a series of kidnappings has rendered the children anxious. After Finney is taken by the kidnapper and held captive in a cellar, he fears the worst. But the disconnected phone in the room keeps ringing, with eerie communicators providing assistance, as the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister could save him. A genuinely scary movie. October 11th, 10.50pm, Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for materialism in Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation of the disgraced televangelist and her felon spouse. The actor acts as the greedy Jim, who proclaims early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence profiting from the American public's Christian beliefs. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, however the lead actress succeeds to present the real-life figure with compassion. Next Tuesday, late night, on Film4
This Espionage Thriller
This week's second offering from the filmmaker is a espionage tale as precise as the polo necks worn by Michael Fassbender's British agent.

The two stars are experts of calm composure, so a delicious psychological game of fact versus fiction unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the intelligent intelligence fun. Friday 17 October, multiple time slots, the Sky channel
