The Substance
The filmmaker's daring satire tackles the tyranny of women's appearance along with the perceived horrors of ageing. Demi Moore presents an inspired performance in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old celebrity reduced to presenting a workout series on television. Edged out thanks to her slimy boss Harvey, she turns to a secretive and gruesome process known as the Substance. This produces a younger clone named Sue, culminating in a progressively vampiric relationship between them. October 17th, Paramount Plus
The Woman in Cabin 10
This classic whodunit story stars Keira Knightley in the role of Laura, a skilled journalist who takes some time off from writing about international wars to board a high-end voyage with a gravely sick wealthy inheritor and charitable figure, her husband, plus additional affluent individuals. However when an unknown lady goes overboard one night and the entire crew claims she was never there, her journalistic curiosity take over. Streaming currently, Netflix
Presence Film
Soderbergh challenges his creative boundaries through this nifty supernatural story captured wholly through the eyes of the phantom. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe settles into their fresh home, the filming device – representing the ghost – follows them around. The teen shows signs of aware of the ghostly being, and it seems defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? The premise is enjoyable that avoids overstaying, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, the Sky channel
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Cage fully commits to his eccentric image through this meta comedy caper. He plays an egotistical Hollywood actor playing himself who takes on a lucrative offer to appear at a birthday party on the Spanish island for the wealthy Javi Gutierrez. Contacted by government spies to gather intel on the alleged criminal, his “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. This Saturday, evening, on Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
The director's contained scarefest remains effective despite the lack of a follow-up. Set in 1978 Denver, several kidnappings has rendered the local kids anxious. After Finney is kidnapped by the villain and locked up in a cellar, he fears the worst. But the non-functional line in the room keeps ringing, with spooky callers giving advice, and the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. An effective horror. Saturday 11 October, late evening, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for Mammon in this director's delightfully tacky film adaptation regarding the shamed televangelist and her felon spouse. Garfield portrays the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye begin monetising the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of tacky decor, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, yet Chastain manages to show the character as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, Film4
Black Bag
This period's another release from Steven Soderbergh presents a espionage tale as precise like the turtlenecks worn by Fassbender's British agent. His assignment is with uncovering a mole within their ranks from five suspects – among them is his spouse. Each performer are masters of calm composure, resulting in an engaging mind game of deception or honesty takes place. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the smart espionage amusement. Friday 17 October, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
