This Satirical Thriller
Director Coralie Fargeat's daring critique examines the oppressive nature of female beauty along with the perceived horrors of ageing. Demi Moore presents a brilliant portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, a mature celebrity forced into hosting a fitness program on the small screen. Pushed out thanks to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she undergoes a secretive and terrifying treatment called this experimental method. This generates a younger clone called Sue, resulting in a steadily more toxic connection between them. This Friday, Paramount Plus
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This suspenseful thriller includes the talented actress in the role of Laura, an ace reporter who takes a break from writing about world issues to embark on a high-end voyage with a terminally ill Scandinavian billionaire and charitable figure, her partner, and other extremely wealthy individuals. But after an enigmatic female falls into the sea one night and all passengers claims she was never there, the reporter's sleuthing skills kick in. Out now, on Netflix
Presence Film
The acclaimed director challenges his creative boundaries in this innovative ghostly tale shot entirely through the eyes of the spirit. As a family including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their recent residence, the camera – AKA the Presence – shadows their actions. The daughter appears aware of the supernatural presence, and it looks like protective of her. However, the motive remains? This is an entertaining concept that remains concise, with a twist you might not see coming. This Saturday, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, the Sky channel
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
The iconic actor embraces his cult stardom via this meta comedy caper. He acts as a narcissistic film star playing himself who accepts a million-dollar gig to appear at a festive event at a Mediterranean location for billionaire superfan Javi. Recruited by government spies to gather intel on the suspected cartel boss, his “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. Saturday 11 October, 9pm, on Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
Scott Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller holds up well even without a continuation. Set in 1970s Colorado, multiple disappearances has made the children on edge. Once Finney is kidnapped by the kidnapper and held captive in a basement, he fears the worst. However, the non-functional line on the wall repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices offering help, while the prophetic visions from his sibling Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror. This Saturday, nighttime, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for materialism in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top true story about the fallen TV preacher and her felon spouse. The actor acts as the corrupt Bakker, who declares at the beginning, claiming divine approval for wealth. He and Tammy Faye begin monetising the nation's religious faith. It's a spectacle of poor styling, overdone appearance and bad faith, yet Jessica Chastain succeeds to depict Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, the Film4 channel
This Espionage Thriller
This period's additional entry by the same director presents a intelligence thriller as tight similar to the collars used by Michael Fassbender's UK spy. His assignment is to identify a double agent within their ranks from five suspects – one of whom is his own wife. The two stars are experts of deadpan cool, so a delicious psychological game of truth or lie takes place. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela join in the smart espionage amusement. This Friday, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
