The Substance Film
Director Coralie Fargeat's unflinching critique examines the oppressive nature of feminine aesthetics along with the feared consequences of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore offers an inspired portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, a mature celebrity reduced to starring in a fitness program on TV. Forced aside due to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she seeks out a secretive and terrifying process titled this experimental method. This creates a new version of herself portrayed by Margaret Qualley, culminating in a progressively vampiric relationship among both women. October 17th, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This suspenseful story includes the talented actress in the role of Laura, a skilled journalist who opts for some time off from reporting on world issues to embark on a high-end voyage accompanied by a terminally ill wealthy inheritor and charitable figure, her spouse, plus additional affluent passengers. However when an enigmatic female disappears from the ship one night and all passengers claims she was never there, Laura's investigative instincts kick in. Out now, on Netflix
Presence
The acclaimed director pushes his directorial skills through this clever paranormal narrative shot entirely from the perspective of the phantom. As a family with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their fresh home, the camera – representing the ghost – tracks their movements. The daughter appears sensing the ghostly being, and the entity appears defensive toward her. But why? The premise is enjoyable that avoids overstaying, including a revelation you might not see coming. October 11th, multiple showings, Sky Cinema
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
The iconic actor embraces his unique fame via this autobiographical spoof. He plays a narcissistic celebrity playing himself who takes on a million-dollar gig to visit a festive event at a Mediterranean location for the rich superfan Javi. Recruited by the intelligence agency to investigate the suspected cartel boss, Cage's unconventional method comes in handy. Saturday 11 October, 9pm, on Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
The director's contained scarefest stands strong despite the lack of a sequel. Located in 1970s Colorado, a series of child abductions has made the local kids anxious. Once Finney is taken by the villain and held captive in a cellar, he anticipates a fatal end. However, the non-functional line in the room keeps ringing, with ghostly voices providing assistance, and the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. An effective horror. Saturday 11 October, late evening, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for Mammon in this director's delightfully tacky true story of the disgraced TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who proclaims early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. The couple begin profiting from the nation's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, yet Chastain achieves to depict the character with compassion. Next Tuesday, late night, Film4
The Spy Mystery
This week's second offering from the filmmaker presents a espionage tale as sharp similar to the collars worn by Fassbender's British agent. He receives a mission with uncovering a traitor within their ranks out of five possibilities – one of whom is his spouse. The two stars excel of understated style, leading to a delightful mind game of fact versus fiction develops. Additional actors join in the clever spy entertainment.
