Pick of the Week
This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's unflinching commentary addresses the demanding standards for female beauty and the perceived horrors of advancing years. Hollywood star Demi Moore presents an inspired acting turn as Elisabeth, a mature actress reduced to starring in a workout series on the small screen. Pushed out thanks to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she turns to a mysterious and horrifying process titled this experimental method. This generates a new version of herself portrayed by Margaret Qualley, culminating in a progressively vampiric relationship between the two. This Friday, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This Agatha Christie-esque mystery includes Keira Knightley as Laura, a skilled journalist who opts for some time off from writing about world issues to join a high-end voyage with a gravely sick wealthy inheritor and philanthropist, her husband, plus additional extremely wealthy passengers. However when a mysterious woman disappears from the ship during the evening and all passengers claims she was never there, the reporter's sleuthing skills kick in. Out now, Netflix
Presence Film
Soderbergh challenges his directorial skills through this clever ghostly tale shot entirely through the eyes of the phantom. When a household including mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe settles into their fresh home, the lens – AKA the Presence – follows them around. The teen shows signs of sensing the poltergeist, and it looks like protective of her. But why? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, including a revelation that may be unexpected. Saturday 11 October, multiple showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
This Self-Referential Film
Nicolas Cage fully commits to his unique fame through this self-referential adventure. He portrays an egotistical Hollywood actor called Nicolas Cage who takes on a lucrative offer to visit a birthday party on the Spanish island for billionaire Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Recruited by the CIA to gather intel on the potential kingpin, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. October 11th, 9pm, Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
Scott Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller stands strong even without a sequel. Taking place in 1978 Denver, multiple disappearances has rendered the youth on edge. When Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and imprisoned in a dungeon, he dreads a terrible outcome. But the old telephone on the wall repeatedly calls, with spooky callers giving advice, as the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, 10.50pm, Film4
This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple set about profiting from the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, bad makeup and bad faith, yet Jessica Chastain achieves to present the character as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, 1.15am, on Film4
This Espionage Thriller
The current week's another release from the filmmaker delivers a espionage tale as precise similar to the collars worn by Fassbender's British agent. His assignment is to discover a traitor within their ranks from five suspects – among them is his spouse. The two stars are experts of calm composure, leading to a delightful mental battle of truth or lie takes place. Additional actors join in the clever spy entertainment.
