Top Selection
This Satirical Thriller
Director Coralie Fargeat's unflinching commentary tackles the oppressive nature of feminine aesthetics as well as the feared consequences of growing older. The veteran actress delivers a masterful performance in the role of Elisabeth, an aging film star demoted to hosting a fitness program on the small screen. Pushed out thanks to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, she undergoes a secretive and terrifying treatment titled this experimental method. This generates a youthful duplicate portrayed by Margaret Qualley, leading to a progressively vampiric relationship among both women. October 17th, the streaming service Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This Agatha Christie-esque story stars Knightley in the role of Laura, an ace reporter who opts for a hiatus from covering world issues to board a high-end voyage with a gravely sick Norwegian shipping heiress and philanthropist, her husband, plus additional affluent guests. However when an unknown lady disappears from the ship during the evening and everyone claims she was never there, Laura's investigative instincts take over. Streaming currently, the Netflix platform
Presence Film
Soderbergh challenges his film-making abilities through this nifty ghostly tale filmed completely through the eyes of a ghost. When a household including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their fresh home, the filming device – as the unseen entity – follows them around. The daughter appears sensing the supernatural presence, and the entity appears protective of her. Yet what is the reason? It's a fun idea that remains concise, including a revelation that may be unexpected. Saturday 11 October, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Cage wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame via this autobiographical spoof. He plays a self-obsessed celebrity named Nicolas Cage who accepts a $1m payday to attend a birthday party on the Spanish island for the rich Javi Gutierrez. Contacted by government spies to spy on the potential kingpin, Cage's unique performing skills comes in handy. This Saturday, evening, the Channel 4 network
The Black Phone Horror
The director's locked-room horror remains effective despite the lack of a sequel. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, several child abductions has rendered the local kids anxious. Once Finney gets captured by the villain and locked up in a basement, he dreads a fatal end. Yet the disconnected phone in the room continues to ring, with eerie communicators providing assistance, as the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, late evening, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's wonderfully garish biopic about the fallen TV preacher and her felon spouse. Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye begin monetising the people's religious faith. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, overdone appearance and bad faith, however Chastain achieves to depict Tammy Faye with compassion. October 14th, 1.15am, on Film4

This week's additional entry from Steven Soderbergh is a spy mystery as tight like the turtlenecks used by the actor's intelligence officer. His assignment is to discover a traitor within their ranks from a group of five – including is his spouse. The two stars excel of understated style, resulting in an engaging mind game of truth or lie unfolds.
