This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's daring satire examines the oppressive nature of feminine aesthetics along with the perceived horrors of ageing. Hollywood star Demi Moore delivers a brilliant portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old actress reduced to hosting an aerobics show on the small screen. Edged out thanks to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, she turns to a secretive and gruesome process known as this experimental method. This creates a youthful duplicate called Sue, culminating in a steadily more parasitic dynamic between the two. This Friday, the streaming service Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This classic whodunit thriller stars Keira Knightley in the role of Laura, an ace reporter who takes some time off from reporting on world issues to board a luxury cruise with a terminally ill Scandinavian billionaire and donor, her partner, and other affluent passengers. But after an unknown lady disappears from the ship during the evening and the entire crew denies she ever existed, the reporter's sleuthing skills kick in. Out now, Netflix
This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director tests his creative boundaries through this clever paranormal narrative filmed completely through the eyes of the phantom. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the lens – AKA the Presence – follows them around. The teen shows signs of sensing the supernatural presence, and it looks like protective of her. However, the motive remains? It's a fun idea that avoids overstaying, featuring a surprise that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, multiple showings, Sky Cinema
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
The iconic actor embraces his eccentric image in this meta comedy caper. He plays a narcissistic film star named Nicolas Cage who takes on a $1m payday to visit a birthday party on the Spanish island for billionaire Javi Gutierrez. Recruited by government spies to gather intel on the alleged criminal, Cage's unconventional method is put to the test. This Saturday, 9pm, Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
The director's locked-room horror remains effective despite the lack of a follow-up. Located in 1970s Colorado, multiple kidnappings has left the youth on edge. When Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and held captive in a cellar, he fears the worst. However, the non-functional line mounted nearby continues to ring, with ghostly voices providing assistance, and the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, Film4
This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky true story regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple set about capitalizing on the nation's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, bad makeup and bad faith, though Chastain succeeds to present the character in a likable light. Next Tuesday, early morning, on Film4
Black Bag
The current week's additional entry by the same director delivers a intelligence thriller as tight similar to the collars worn by the actor's intelligence officer. He receives a mission with uncovering a traitor within their ranks from five suspects – one of whom is his spouse. The two stars are experts of understated style, resulting in an engaging mental battle of fact versus fiction develops. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela join in the intelligent intelligence fun. This Friday, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema Premiere
