This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's daring critique examines the demanding standards for female beauty along with the perceived horrors of ageing. Hollywood star Demi Moore presents a brilliant acting turn as Elisabeth, a mature actress forced into starring in an aerobics show on the small screen. Pushed out by her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she undergoes a secretive and gruesome treatment titled the Substance. This generates a new version of herself named Sue, culminating in a progressively toxic connection between the two. October 17th, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This classic whodunit thriller stars Knightley playing Laura, a top-notch writer who decides to take some time off from writing about international wars to board an opulent ship alongside a terminally ill wealthy inheritor and charitable figure, her partner, and other filthy rich guests. However when an unknown lady goes overboard one night and all passengers insists she wasn't real, her journalistic curiosity take over. Available now, the Netflix platform
Presence Film
Soderbergh challenges his film-making abilities through this clever paranormal narrative captured wholly from the viewpoint of the phantom. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their new suburban house, the camera – representing the ghost – follows them around. The daughter appears conscious of the poltergeist, and it looks like defensive toward her. But why? It's a fun idea that remains concise, with a twist that could catch you off guard. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Nicolas Cage fully commits to his eccentric image via this self-referential adventure. He acts as an egotistical celebrity playing himself who agrees to a million-dollar gig to visit a birthday party in Mallorca for billionaire superfan Javi. Contacted by the CIA to spy on the alleged criminal, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. October 11th, prime time, Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
Scott Derrickson's locked-room horror holds up well without requiring a continuation. Set in 1978 Denver, a series of child abductions has left the youth anxious. When Finney is taken by the villain and held captive in a dungeon, he fears a fatal end. Yet the old telephone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators giving advice, and the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. An effective horror. October 11th, nighttime, the Film4 channel
This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic about the fallen TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield acts as the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims early on, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye begin profiting from the people's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, yet Chastain succeeds to depict the real-life figure in a likable light. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, the Film4 channel
Black Bag
This period's second offering from the filmmaker presents a espionage tale as tight similar to the collars worn by Fassbender's UK spy. He receives a mission to discover a double agent among the team from a group of five – one of whom is his own wife. Both actors are masters of calm composure, resulting in an engaging mental battle of truth or lie develops. Additional actors join in the smart espionage amusement. October 17th, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema
