This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's daring critique examines the tyranny of women's appearance as well as the dreaded aspects of growing older. Demi Moore delivers a masterful performance playing Elisabeth, a mature actress forced into starring in a workout series on television. Forced aside by her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she undergoes a secretive and gruesome procedure titled the Substance. This produces a youthful duplicate portrayed by Margaret Qualley, leading to a steadily more parasitic dynamic between them. Friday 17 October, Paramount+

Presence
Steven Soderbergh pushes his directorial skills with this clever ghostly tale filmed completely from the perspective of the phantom. When a household with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their recent residence, the lens – AKA the Presence – shadows their actions. Chloe seems aware of the ghostly being, and the entity appears guarding her. However, the motive remains? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, including a revelation you might not see coming. Saturday 11 October, multiple showings, Sky Cinema

The Black Phone Horror
Derrickson's locked-room horror holds up well despite the lack of a continuation. Located in 1978 Denver, several child abductions has made the local kids on edge. After Finney is taken by the villain and locked up in a dungeon, he fears a fatal end. However, the disconnected phone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with spooky callers offering help, and the prescient dreams from his sibling Gwen may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for Mammon in Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation of the disgraced religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals commence capitalizing on the people's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, though the lead actress succeeds to present Tammy Faye in a likable light. October 14th, 1.15am, Film4
The Spy Mystery
This period's additional entry from Steven Soderbergh presents a espionage tale as tight similar to the collars used by Fassbender's British agent. His assignment is with uncovering a mole among the team out of five possibilities – among them is his spouse.
