The Substance Film
Coralie Fargeat's daring commentary addresses the demanding standards for women's appearance along with the dreaded aspects of growing older.

However when an unknown lady falls into the sea one night and everyone claims she was never there, the reporter's sleuthing skills take over. Streaming currently, on Netflix
Presence Film
Soderbergh pushes his directorial skills with this nifty supernatural story filmed completely through the eyes of a ghost. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe occupies their fresh home, the lens – AKA the Presence – follows them around. Chloe seems sensing the supernatural presence, and the entity appears guarding her. But why? This is an entertaining concept that doesn't outstay its welcome, featuring a surprise you might not see coming. October 11th, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, the Sky channel
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
The iconic actor embraces his cult stardom in this autobiographical spoof. He acts as a narcissistic Hollywood actor called Nicolas Cage who agrees to a million-dollar gig to attend a celebration at a Mediterranean location for the rich Javi Gutierrez. Recruited by government spies to investigate the alleged criminal, his “nouveau shamanic acting ability” is put to the test. Saturday 11 October, 9pm, the Channel 4 network
The Black Phone
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective without requiring a continuation. Located in 1978 Denver, multiple kidnappings has rendered the children frightened. Once Finney gets captured by the villain and locked up in a dungeon, he fears a fatal end. Yet the non-functional line in the room repeatedly calls, with spooky callers giving advice, and the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen might rescue him. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, nighttime, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for materialism in this director's wonderfully garish biopic of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who declares initially, claiming divine approval for wealth. Both individuals commence monetising the American public's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, overdone appearance and insincerity, though Chastain succeeds to depict Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, the Film4 channel
Black Bag
This period's additional entry from the filmmaker presents a espionage tale as sharp like the turtlenecks sported by Fassbender's intelligence officer. He receives a mission to discover a mole within their ranks from a group of five – among them is his own wife. Both actors are experts of deadpan cool, resulting in an engaging psychological game of fact versus fiction takes place. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the intelligent intelligence fun. Friday 17 October, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema Premiere
