This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's unflinching critique tackles the demanding standards for female beauty as well as the perceived horrors of growing older. The veteran actress presents an inspired acting turn as Elisabeth, an aging actress demoted to presenting an aerobics show on television. Edged out by her slimy boss Harvey, she turns to a mysterious and terrifying process known as this experimental method. This generates a younger clone named Sue, resulting in a steadily more toxic connection among both women. Friday 17 October, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10
This Agatha Christie-esque mystery includes Keira Knightley playing Laura, an ace reporter who decides to take some time off from reporting on global conflict to embark on a luxury cruise accompanied by a gravely sick Norwegian shipping heiress and philanthropist, her husband, plus additional affluent individuals. But after an unknown lady falls into the sea overnight and the entire crew denies she ever existed, her journalistic curiosity take over. Out now, the Netflix platform
This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director challenges his film-making abilities through this nifty supernatural story filmed completely from the viewpoint of the spirit. As a family with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their fresh home, the lens – representing the ghost – tracks their movements. The teen shows signs of conscious of the poltergeist, and it looks like defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? It's a fun idea that doesn't outstay its welcome, including a revelation you might not see coming. October 11th, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, the Sky channel
This Self-Referential Film
The iconic actor fully commits to his eccentric image in this meta comedy caper. He acts as an egotistical celebrity playing himself who accepts a million-dollar gig to appear at a birthday party on the Spanish island for billionaire Javi Gutierrez. Recruited by the intelligence agency to investigate the potential kingpin, the actor's unconventional method comes in handy. October 11th, evening, on Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's contained scarefest stands strong without requiring a follow-up. Located in 1978 Denver, a series of disappearances has made the youth anxious. When Finney gets captured by the villain and held captive in a cellar, he anticipates a terrible outcome. Yet the non-functional line on the wall continues to ring, with ghostly voices offering help, and the prophetic visions from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, late evening, Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for Mammon in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation about the fallen TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield acts as the corrupt Bakker, who declares early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about monetising the people's religious faith. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, yet Jessica Chastain achieves to present the character with compassion. Next Tuesday, early morning, the Film4 channel
The Spy Mystery
This period's another release from the filmmaker presents a intelligence thriller as sharp like the turtlenecks worn by the actor's intelligence officer. He is tasked with uncovering a traitor among the team out of five possibilities – one of whom is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. The two stars are masters of deadpan cool, leading to a delightful psychological game of truth or lie develops. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela join in the clever spy entertainment. October 17th, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
