This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's daring critique tackles the tyranny of women's appearance and the dreaded aspects of growing older. Demi Moore delivers a masterful performance in the role of Elisabeth, a mature actress reduced to starring in a workout series on the small screen. Edged out by her slimy boss Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she turns to an enigmatic and terrifying process called this experimental method. This generates a youthful duplicate named Sue, culminating in an increasingly parasitic dynamic between them. Friday 17 October, Paramount Plus
The Woman in Cabin 10
This Agatha Christie-esque thriller features Knightley playing Laura, a top-notch writer who decides to take some time off from writing about global conflict to embark on a luxury cruise with a gravely sick Norwegian shipping heiress and donor, her spouse, plus additional affluent passengers. Yet once an unknown lady disappears from the ship one night and the entire crew claims she was never there, the reporter's sleuthing skills kick in. Streaming currently, the Netflix platform
Presence Film
Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries through this innovative ghostly tale shot entirely from the perspective of the phantom. When a household with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe settles into their new suburban house, the filming device – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of conscious of the supernatural presence, and the entity appears defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? The premise is enjoyable that doesn't outstay its welcome, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. This Saturday, multiple showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
This Self-Referential Film
Nicolas Cage wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame through this self-referential adventure. He acts as an egotistical Hollywood actor named Nicolas Cage who accepts a lucrative offer to appear at a festive event at a Mediterranean location for billionaire superfan Javi. Hired by the CIA to gather intel on the potential kingpin, the actor's unconventional method comes in handy. October 11th, evening, Channel 4
The Black Phone
Scott Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller stands strong without requiring a follow-up. Located in 1970s Colorado, multiple kidnappings has left the youth anxious. When Finney gets captured by the villain and held captive in a dungeon, he fears a fatal end. But the disconnected phone on the wall repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators offering help, and the prophetic visions of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. A genuinely scary movie. This Saturday, nighttime, Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for materialism in this director's wonderfully garish true story regarding the shamed TV preacher and her felon spouse. The actor acts as the venal Jim, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin monetising the people's Christian beliefs. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, though Chastain succeeds to show the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, the Film4 channel
Black Bag
This period's additional entry from Steven Soderbergh presents a intelligence thriller as tight like the turtlenecks worn by Michael Fassbender's British agent. He receives a mission to identify a mole within their ranks from five suspects – among them is his own wife. Each performer are masters of deadpan cool, resulting in an engaging mental battle of truth or lie unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela take part the intelligent intelligence fun. Friday 17 October, various showings, Sky Cinema
