The Substance Film
Director Coralie Fargeat's bold commentary examines the oppressive nature of female beauty along with the perceived horrors of ageing. The veteran actress presents a brilliant acting turn in the role of Elisabeth, a mature actress reduced to hosting a workout series on TV.

This generates a youthful duplicate portrayed by Margaret Qualley, culminating in a progressively vampiric relationship among both women. Friday 17 October, Paramount+

Presence
Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities through this innovative ghostly tale shot entirely from the viewpoint of the spirit. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their recent residence, the filming device – representing the ghost – tracks their movements. The teen shows signs of sensing the ghostly being, and the entity appears defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, with a twist you might not see coming. This Saturday, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

This Creepy Thriller
Scott Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective without requiring a sequel. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, multiple kidnappings has left the children on edge. After Finney is kidnapped by the villain and locked up in a basement, he anticipates a fatal end. However, the disconnected phone on the wall repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices giving advice, as the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A solid creepfest. October 11th, late evening, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for greed in this director's delightfully tacky film adaptation regarding the shamed televangelist and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who proclaims early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple commence profiting from the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of poor styling, overdone appearance and insincerity, though Chastain achieves to show the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, late night, on Film4
The Spy Mystery
This period's additional entry by the same director delivers a espionage tale as tight like the turtlenecks used by Michael Fassbender's UK spy. He is tasked to identify a traitor within their ranks out of five possibilities – among them is his spouse. Both actors are masters of deadpan cool, so a delicious psychological game of fact versus fiction takes place. Additional actors take part the intelligent intelligence fun. This Friday, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema
