Presence

Soderbergh pushes his directorial skills in this clever paranormal narrative filmed completely from the viewpoint of a ghost. When a household featuring mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their fresh home, the camera – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements. The daughter appears aware of the supernatural presence, and it looks like protective of her. However, the motive remains? This is an entertaining concept that doesn't outstay its welcome, with a twist that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere


Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy

Nicolas Cage fully commits to his cult stardom in this autobiographical spoof.

Recruited by government spies to investigate the alleged criminal, his unique performing skills comes in handy. This Saturday, evening, the Channel 4 network


This Creepy Thriller

Derrickson's contained scarefest holds up well even without a continuation. Located in 1978 Denver, a series of disappearances has rendered the youth frightened. When Finney is kidnapped by the villain and locked up in a dungeon, he anticipates a terrible outcome. However, the disconnected phone on the wall repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators giving advice, as the prophetic visions of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. A solid creepfest. Saturday 11 October, 10.50pm, on Film4


The Tammy Faye Biopic

In the conflict between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for greed in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top true story of the disgraced TV preacher and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who declares at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals set about capitalizing on the people's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, yet Chastain succeeds to show the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, early morning, on Film4


The Spy Mystery

The current week's second offering by the same director delivers a intelligence thriller as sharp as the polo necks used by the actor's British agent. His assignment is to identify a double agent inside the organization out of five possibilities – one of whom is his spouse. Both actors are masters of understated style, so a delicious psychological game of truth or lie unfolds. Additional actors take part the intelligent intelligence fun. Friday 17 October, various showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
