This Supernatural Story
Soderbergh challenges his film-making abilities with this nifty supernatural story filmed completely through the eyes of the phantom. As a family including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their recent residence, the lens – AKA the Presence – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of conscious of the ghostly being, and the entity appears defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? The premise is enjoyable that doesn't outstay its welcome, including a revelation that may be unexpected. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere
This Self-Referential Film
The iconic actor wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame through this autobiographical spoof.

Hired by government spies to investigate the suspected cartel boss, the actor's unconventional method proves useful. October 11th, prime time, on Channel 4
The Black Phone
The director's claustrophobic thriller stands strong despite the lack of a sequel. Located in 1970s Colorado, a series of disappearances has left the youth frightened. Once Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a cellar, he anticipates a terrible outcome. But the old telephone on the wall repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators offering help, while the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen could save him. A solid creepfest.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's brilliantly over-the-top true story regarding the shamed televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield plays the greedy Jim, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about capitalizing on the American public's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, yet Jessica Chastain manages to present the character as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, 1.15am, the Film4 channel
