This Satirical Thriller
Coralie Fargeat's bold critique tackles the tyranny of feminine aesthetics as well as the perceived horrors of advancing years. Hollywood star Demi Moore delivers a masterful acting turn in the role of Elisabeth, a mature celebrity demoted to hosting an aerobics show on the small screen. Forced aside due to her slimy boss Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she turns to a mysterious and terrifying procedure titled this experimental method. This generates a youthful duplicate called Sue, culminating in a steadily more toxic connection between them. October 17th, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10
This Agatha Christie-esque story includes Knightley playing Laura, an ace reporter who decides to take a break from reporting on world issues to embark on an opulent ship accompanied by a gravely sick wealthy inheritor and charitable figure, her husband, as well as other extremely wealthy individuals. But after a mysterious woman goes overboard one night and the entire crew denies she ever existed, the reporter's sleuthing skills take over. Streaming currently, the Netflix platform
Presence Film
Soderbergh challenges his creative boundaries with this nifty supernatural story shot entirely from the perspective of a ghost. As a family including mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their recent residence, the lens – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. The daughter appears conscious of the supernatural presence, and it seems guarding her. Yet what is the reason? It's a fun idea that doesn't outstay its welcome, with a twist you might not see coming. October 11th, multiple showings, the Sky channel
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Cage fully commits to his eccentric image in this meta comedy caper. He acts as a self-obsessed celebrity called Nicolas Cage who agrees to a $1m payday to attend a festive event in Mallorca for the wealthy Javi Gutierrez. Hired by government spies to investigate the potential kingpin, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” is put to the test. This Saturday, prime time, on Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective without requiring a follow-up. Located in 1970s Colorado, a series of kidnappings has left the local kids on edge. When Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and held captive in a cellar, he anticipates a terrible outcome. But the old telephone mounted nearby keeps ringing, with ghostly voices providing assistance, and the prescient dreams from his sibling Gwen could save him. An effective horror. This Saturday, late evening, on Film4
This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for materialism in Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple set about capitalizing on the nation's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, bad makeup and insincerity, yet Jessica Chastain succeeds to show the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
The Spy Mystery
The current week's second offering from the filmmaker delivers a intelligence thriller as tight like the turtlenecks sported by Fassbender's British agent. His assignment is to identify a traitor among the team out of five possibilities – one of whom is his spouse. Each performer are masters of calm composure, so a delicious psychological game of deception or honesty develops. The supporting cast join in the clever spy entertainment. Friday 17 October, various showings, the Sky channel
