This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director pushes his creative boundaries in this clever ghostly tale captured wholly through the eyes of the spirit. When a household including mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their recent residence, the filming device – representing the ghost – shadows their actions.

This is an entertaining concept that remains concise, including a revelation that may be unexpected. This Saturday, multiple showings, Sky Cinema
This Self-Referential Film

Contacted by the intelligence agency to investigate the suspected cartel boss, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. October 11th, prime time, Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong without requiring a continuation. Taking place in 1978 Denver, a series of kidnappings has made the local kids anxious. When Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and held captive in a basement, he dreads the worst. But the disconnected phone in the room continues to ring, with spooky callers offering help, as the prescient dreams from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. An effective horror. This Saturday, 10.50pm, the Film4 channel
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for greed in Michael Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation about the fallen televangelist and her criminal husband. The actor plays the venal Jim, who declares at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye begin monetising the nation's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, yet the lead actress succeeds to show Tammy Faye with compassion. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
This Espionage Thriller
This period's another release by the same director delivers a spy mystery as precise similar to the collars sported by Fassbender's British agent.

The two stars are masters of calm composure, so a delicious mind game of fact versus fiction takes place. Additional actors take part the clever spy entertainment.
