Presence Film
Steven Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities with this clever ghostly tale captured wholly through the eyes of the spirit. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their fresh home, the lens – representing the ghost – tracks their movements. The daughter appears conscious of the ghostly being, and it seems guarding her. Yet what is the reason? This is an entertaining concept that avoids overstaying, featuring a surprise you might not see coming. October 11th, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
This Self-Referential Film
Nicolas Cage wholeheartedly adopts his cult stardom through this autobiographical spoof. He plays a narcissistic celebrity named Nicolas Cage who accepts a $1m payday to visit a birthday party at a Mediterranean location for the rich Javi Gutierrez. Recruited by the CIA to spy on the suspected cartel boss, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” is put to the test. This Saturday, evening, on Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's contained scarefest remains effective despite the lack of a sequel. Located in the late 70s in Denver, a series of disappearances has made the children on edge. After Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and held captive in a cellar, he fears the worst. Yet the disconnected phone in the room keeps ringing, with spooky callers offering help, while the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen could save him. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, nighttime, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for Mammon in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic about the fallen televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who declares initially, claiming divine approval for wealth. The couple set about monetising the nation's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, yet Jessica Chastain manages to show Tammy Faye with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, late night, the Film4 channel
This Espionage Thriller
This period's second offering by the same director is a espionage tale as tight like the turtlenecks sported by the actor's British agent. His assignment is to identify a mole inside the organization from a group of five – one of whom is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Each performer are masters of deadpan cool, leading to a delightful mind game of deception or honesty takes place. The supporting cast take part the clever spy entertainment.
