This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's daring critique addresses the demanding standards for women's appearance as well as the perceived horrors of growing older. Demi Moore presents a masterful performance playing Elisabeth, a 50-year-old celebrity demoted to starring in an aerobics show on TV. Pushed out by her slimy boss Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she undergoes a mysterious and terrifying process called the Substance. This creates a youthful duplicate named Sue, resulting in an increasingly parasitic dynamic between the two. This Friday, Paramount Plus
This Mystery Thriller
This classic whodunit story features Knightley playing Laura, a top-notch writer who opts for some time off from covering global conflict to board a high-end voyage accompanied by an ailing Scandinavian billionaire and donor, her husband, as well as other extremely wealthy individuals. But after an unknown lady goes overboard during the evening and all passengers claims she was never there, Laura's investigative instincts take over. Streaming currently, on Netflix
This Supernatural Story
Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities with this innovative paranormal narrative captured wholly from the perspective of the phantom. When a household with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the lens – representing the ghost – follows them around. The daughter appears conscious of the supernatural presence, and it looks like protective of her. Yet what is the reason? The premise is enjoyable that avoids overstaying, with a twist that could catch you off guard. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, the Sky channel
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Nicolas Cage fully commits to his eccentric image through this autobiographical spoof. He plays an egotistical Hollywood actor playing himself who accepts a lucrative offer to attend a birthday party at a Mediterranean location for billionaire Javi Gutierrez. Recruited by the intelligence agency to investigate the alleged criminal, Cage's unique performing skills proves useful. This Saturday, prime time, the Channel 4 network
The Black Phone
Scott Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong without requiring a follow-up. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, a series of disappearances has rendered the children frightened. Once Finney is kidnapped by the villain and held captive in a cellar, he fears a fatal end. Yet the disconnected phone on the wall repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices offering help, while the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen could save him. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, nighttime, Film4
This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic about the fallen televangelist and her felon spouse. Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who declares initially, claiming divine approval for wealth. Both individuals set about capitalizing on the nation's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, however Chastain succeeds to show the real-life figure with compassion. Next Tuesday, late night, the Film4 channel
This Espionage Thriller
This week's another release from Steven Soderbergh presents a spy mystery as precise similar to the collars worn by Fassbender's UK spy. He is tasked to discover a double agent among the team from five suspects – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Both actors are masters of calm composure, leading to a delightful mind game of truth or lie develops. Additional actors join in the smart espionage amusement. Friday 17 October, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
