Presence Film
Steven Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries in this clever supernatural story filmed completely from the perspective of the spirit. When a household including mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe occupies their fresh home, the lens – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Cage fully commits to his eccentric image in this meta comedy caper.

This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller stands strong despite the lack of a follow-up. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, a series of child abductions has rendered the local kids frightened. When Finney gets captured by the villain and held captive in a dungeon, he dreads a fatal end. However, the old telephone on the wall repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices offering help, while the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister could save him. An effective horror. October 11th, nighttime, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation regarding the shamed TV preacher and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield plays the greedy Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple commence monetising the American public's religious faith. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, yet Jessica Chastain manages to show the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, Film4

This period's another release from the filmmaker presents a espionage tale as sharp like the turtlenecks worn by the actor's intelligence officer.

Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela take part the smart espionage amusement. This Friday, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema
