This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's unflinching critique tackles the demanding standards for feminine aesthetics and the dreaded aspects of ageing. Demi Moore presents a brilliant acting turn in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old celebrity forced into presenting an aerobics show on the small screen. Forced aside thanks to her unscrupulous employer her manager Harvey, she undergoes an enigmatic and gruesome treatment known as the Substance. This generates a younger clone portrayed by Margaret Qualley, culminating in a progressively parasitic dynamic between them. October 17th, Paramount Plus

This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director challenges his directorial skills in this innovative ghostly tale filmed completely through the eyes of a ghost. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe settles into their recent residence, the camera – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements. Chloe seems sensing the ghostly being, and it looks like defensive toward her. But why? This is an entertaining concept that avoids overstaying, including a revelation that could catch you off guard.

Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Nicolas Cage embraces his unique fame in this autobiographical spoof. He plays a narcissistic celebrity called Nicolas Cage who takes on a million-dollar gig to appear at a birthday party on the Spanish island for the rich Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Hired by government spies to spy on the suspected cartel boss, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. This Saturday, prime time, the Channel 4 network
The Black Phone
The director's claustrophobic thriller stands strong even without a continuation. Located in 1978 Denver, a series of kidnappings has made the local kids frightened. After Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and locked up in a dungeon, he anticipates a terrible outcome. But the non-functional line in the room repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices giving advice, and the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, the Film4 channel
This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for Mammon in this director's wonderfully garish biopic of the disgraced TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor acts as the corrupt Bakker, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin capitalizing on the American public's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, yet Chastain manages to depict Tammy Faye with compassion. Next Tuesday, late night, the Film4 channel
The Spy Mystery
The current week's another release from the filmmaker delivers a espionage tale as sharp as the polo necks worn by the actor's intelligence officer. He is tasked with uncovering a mole within their ranks out of five possibilities – including is his spouse. The two stars are masters of deadpan cool, so a delicious psychological game of truth or lie develops. Additional actors participate the intelligent intelligence fun. October 17th, multiple time slots, the Sky channel
