Highlighted Choice
The Substance
Coralie Fargeat's unflinching satire addresses the demanding standards for female beauty along with the feared consequences of advancing years. Demi Moore presents an inspired acting turn as Elisabeth, a 50-year-old celebrity reduced to hosting a workout series on TV. Edged out due to her slimy boss Harvey, she seeks out a secretive and horrifying process titled "The Substance". This generates a younger clone portrayed by Margaret Qualley, culminating in an increasingly parasitic dynamic between them. This Friday, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This Agatha Christie-esque story features Knightley playing Laura, a top-notch writer who decides to take a break from writing about world issues to embark on an opulent ship with an ailing Scandinavian billionaire and philanthropist, her partner, and other filthy rich individuals. But after an unknown lady falls into the sea during the evening and the entire crew claims she was never there, the reporter's sleuthing skills kick in. Streaming currently, on Netflix
Presence Film
Soderbergh challenges his creative boundaries with this nifty paranormal narrative filmed completely from the perspective of the spirit. When a household featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their fresh home, the filming device – AKA the Presence – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of conscious of the supernatural presence, and it looks like guarding her. Yet what is the reason? It's a fun idea that avoids overstaying, with a twist that could catch you off guard. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Nicolas Cage embraces his cult stardom through this meta comedy caper. He portrays a narcissistic film star playing himself who takes on a $1m payday to appear at a celebration on the Spanish island for the rich Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Contacted by government spies to investigate the potential kingpin, Cage's unique performing skills is put to the test. This Saturday, evening, on Channel 4
The Black Phone
Derrickson's contained scarefest holds up well despite the lack of a follow-up. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, a series of disappearances has rendered the local kids frightened. Once Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a dungeon, he dreads a terrible outcome. However, the non-functional line mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices providing assistance, and the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen might rescue him. A solid creepfest. October 11th, nighttime, on Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for materialism in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who states initially, claiming divine approval for wealth. Both individuals begin profiting from the people's religious faith. It's a spectacle of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, yet Chastain achieves to depict the character with compassion. October 14th, late night, Film4
This Espionage Thriller
This week's another release from the filmmaker is a intelligence thriller as tight like the turtlenecks used by Fassbender's UK spy. His assignment is to discover a traitor inside the organization out of five possibilities – one of whom is his own wife. Both actors are masters of understated style, resulting in an engaging psychological game of truth or lie takes place. Additional actors participate the clever spy entertainment. October 17th, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema Premiere
