The Substance Film
Coralie Fargeat's bold commentary addresses the demanding standards for women's appearance along with the dreaded aspects of ageing. Demi Moore offers a masterful performance as Elisabeth, a mature celebrity demoted to starring in a fitness program on TV. Forced aside by her slimy boss Harvey, she undergoes an enigmatic and terrifying process titled this experimental method.

The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This Agatha Christie-esque story includes Knightley in the role of Laura, an ace reporter who decides to take some time off from reporting on international wars to board a high-end voyage with an ailing Norwegian shipping heiress and charitable figure, her spouse, as well as other extremely wealthy passengers.

Presence Film
Steven Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries with this clever ghostly tale captured wholly from the perspective of the phantom. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their recent residence, the camera – representing the ghost – follows them around. The teen shows signs of conscious of the poltergeist, and the entity appears guarding her. Yet what is the reason? The premise is enjoyable that avoids overstaying, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. October 11th, multiple showings, the Sky channel
This Self-Referential Film
Cage fully commits to his unique fame via this autobiographical spoof. He portrays a self-obsessed Hollywood actor playing himself who accepts a $1m payday to attend a birthday party at a Mediterranean location for the wealthy Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Hired by the CIA to spy on the alleged criminal, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. October 11th, evening, on Channel 4
The Black Phone
The director's contained scarefest stands strong even without a follow-up. Set in 1970s Colorado, a series of disappearances has made the local kids anxious. After Finney is taken by the kidnapper and imprisoned in a basement, he anticipates the worst. However, the disconnected phone on the wall repeatedly calls, with spooky callers providing assistance, and the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. This Saturday, nighttime, the Film4 channel
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for Mammon in Showalter's wonderfully garish true story of the disgraced TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor acts as the greedy Jim, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple commence capitalizing on the people's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, yet Chastain manages to depict the character with compassion. October 14th, early morning, on Film4
This Espionage Thriller
The current week's another release from Steven Soderbergh delivers a espionage tale as precise as the polo necks sported by Fassbender's British agent. His assignment is with uncovering a mole inside the organization out of five possibilities – including is his own wife. Both actors are masters of understated style, so a delicious mind game of deception or honesty takes place. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela take part the smart espionage amusement. Friday 17 October, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, the Sky channel
