This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director pushes his film-making abilities in this nifty supernatural story captured wholly from the perspective of a ghost. As a family including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the filming device – AKA the Presence – tracks their movements. The daughter appears sensing the poltergeist, and it seems guarding her. However, the motive remains? It's a fun idea that doesn't outstay its welcome, featuring a surprise that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, multiple showings, the Sky channel
This Self-Referential Film
Cage wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame via this autobiographical spoof. He portrays an egotistical Hollywood actor called Nicolas Cage who takes on a lucrative offer to attend a festive event at a Mediterranean location for the wealthy superfan Javi. Hired by the intelligence agency to investigate the potential kingpin, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. This Saturday, 9pm, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
Scott Derrickson's contained scarefest remains effective even without a continuation. Taking place in the late 70s in Denver, a series of child abductions has left the local kids on edge. Once Finney is taken by the villain and locked up in a dungeon, he fears a terrible outcome. However, the disconnected phone on the wall keeps ringing, with eerie communicators offering help, and the prophetic visions of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. A genuinely scary movie. October 11th, nighttime, the Film4 channel
This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for Mammon in Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic regarding the shamed televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor plays the corrupt Bakker, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple commence profiting from the people's religious faith. It's a riot of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, though Jessica Chastain achieves to present the real-life figure with compassion. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, on Film4
This Espionage Thriller
This week's additional entry by the same director presents a intelligence thriller as tight like the turtlenecks worn by Fassbender's UK spy. He is tasked to identify a double agent within their ranks from five suspects – including is his spouse. Both actors excel of understated style, resulting in an engaging mental battle of deception or honesty develops. Additional actors participate the clever spy entertainment.
