This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director challenges his directorial skills in this innovative ghostly tale shot entirely from the viewpoint of a ghost. As a family with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the lens – AKA the Presence – tracks their movements. Chloe seems sensing the ghostly being, and it seems guarding her. However, the motive remains? This is an entertaining concept that avoids overstaying, featuring a surprise you might not see coming.

Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
The iconic actor wholeheartedly adopts his cult stardom via this autobiographical spoof. He portrays an egotistical film star named Nicolas Cage who agrees to a lucrative offer to visit a celebration on the Spanish island for the wealthy Javi Gutierrez. Contacted by the CIA to gather intel on the suspected cartel boss, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. This Saturday, evening, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
The director's locked-room horror holds up well despite the lack of a continuation. Taking place in 1978 Denver, a series of child abductions has left the youth on edge. When Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and locked up in a cellar, he dreads the worst. But the non-functional line mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices giving advice, while the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, late evening, the Film4 channel
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in this director's delightfully tacky biopic of the disgraced TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor plays the venal Jim, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence profiting from the nation's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, however Chastain manages to depict Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
This Espionage Thriller
This period's another release from the filmmaker delivers a intelligence thriller as tight similar to the collars sported by Fassbender's British agent. His assignment is to discover a mole within their ranks from five suspects – among them is his own wife. Each performer are experts of deadpan cool, so a delicious mind game of fact versus fiction takes place. Additional actors participate the clever spy entertainment.
