The Substance Film
The filmmaker's unflinching critique tackles the tyranny of feminine aesthetics along with the perceived horrors of advancing years.

Presence
The acclaimed director tests his film-making abilities in this clever paranormal narrative filmed completely from the perspective of the phantom. When a household including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their recent residence, the filming device – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements. The teen shows signs of sensing the poltergeist, and it looks like defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? It's a fun idea that doesn't outstay its welcome, with a twist that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, afternoon and evening times, the Sky channel
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy

The Black Phone
The director's claustrophobic thriller remains effective even without a follow-up. Taking place in 1978 Denver, a series of kidnappings has left the children anxious. When Finney is taken by the kidnapper and imprisoned in a basement, he anticipates a fatal end. However, the disconnected phone mounted nearby continues to ring, with spooky callers giving advice, while the prescient dreams from his sibling Gwen could save him. A genuinely scary movie.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. The actor portrays the venal Jim, who states early on, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple set about capitalizing on the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of tacky decor, bad makeup and bad faith, though Jessica Chastain succeeds to show the real-life figure with compassion. October 14th, 1.15am, on Film4
The Spy Mystery
This period's another release by the same director presents a espionage tale as tight like the turtlenecks worn by Michael Fassbender's intelligence officer. He receives a mission to identify a traitor among the team out of five possibilities – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett.
