The Substance
The filmmaker's daring satire examines the demanding standards for female beauty along with the perceived horrors of growing older. The veteran actress offers a brilliant acting turn playing Elisabeth, a 50-year-old film star demoted to presenting a fitness program on television. Pushed out thanks to her deceitful superior her manager Harvey, she turns to a mysterious and terrifying treatment titled this experimental method. This creates a younger clone named Sue, leading to an increasingly toxic connection among both women. This Friday, Paramount Plus
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This Agatha Christie-esque story features the talented actress in the role of Laura, a skilled journalist who takes a hiatus from covering global conflict to board a high-end voyage alongside a terminally ill Norwegian shipping heiress and philanthropist, her partner, and other filthy rich passengers. But after an enigmatic female falls into the sea overnight and everyone denies she ever existed, the reporter's sleuthing skills kick in. Out now, the Netflix platform
This Supernatural Story
Steven Soderbergh tests his film-making abilities in this nifty paranormal narrative filmed completely through the eyes of the spirit. When a household with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their recent residence, the camera – AKA the Presence – follows them around. The daughter appears sensing the supernatural presence, and the entity appears guarding her. But why? This is an entertaining concept that avoids overstaying, including a revelation that may be unexpected. Saturday 11 October, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema
This Self-Referential Film
The iconic actor fully commits to his unique fame via this self-referential adventure. He acts as a narcissistic film star called Nicolas Cage who accepts a million-dollar gig to visit a birthday party in Mallorca for the wealthy superfan Javi. Recruited by the intelligence agency to investigate the alleged criminal, the actor's unconventional method comes in handy. Saturday 11 October, 9pm, the Channel 4 network
The Black Phone Horror
Derrickson's contained scarefest remains effective despite the lack of a follow-up. Taking place in the late 70s in Denver, a series of child abductions has made the local kids anxious. After Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and held captive in a dungeon, he fears a fatal end. But the non-functional line on the wall continues to ring, with ghostly voices providing assistance, as the prophetic visions from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. An effective horror. Saturday 11 October, 10.50pm, the Film4 channel
This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for materialism in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish biopic regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin monetising the nation's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of tacky decor, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, however the lead actress achieves to present Tammy Faye with compassion. Next Tuesday, early morning, the Film4 channel
Black Bag
The current week's another release from the filmmaker presents a spy mystery as tight similar to the collars used by the actor's UK spy. He receives a mission with uncovering a double agent among the team out of five possibilities – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Both actors are experts of deadpan cool, resulting in an engaging psychological game of fact versus fiction develops. The supporting cast take part the intelligent intelligence fun. Friday 17 October, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, the Sky channel
