This Supernatural Story
Steven Soderbergh pushes his creative boundaries through this innovative ghostly tale filmed completely from the viewpoint of the spirit. As a family with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the filming device – representing the ghost – tracks their movements. The teen shows signs of aware of the ghostly being, and it looks like protective of her. However, the motive remains? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, with a twist you might not see coming. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema
This Self-Referential Film
Nicolas Cage wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image in this autobiographical spoof. He acts as a self-obsessed film star playing himself who agrees to a million-dollar gig to visit a birthday party at a Mediterranean location for the rich Javi Gutierrez. Contacted by government spies to gather intel on the potential kingpin, his unconventional method proves useful. This Saturday, prime time, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective despite the lack of a follow-up. Taking place in 1978 Denver, a series of disappearances has made the children anxious. Once Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and locked up in a dungeon, he anticipates the worst. However, the non-functional line mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices offering help, as the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen could save him. A genuinely scary movie. October 11th, late evening, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for materialism in this director's brilliantly over-the-top true story regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Garfield portrays the corrupt Bakker, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple commence profiting from the people's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, bad makeup and hypocrisy, yet Chastain manages to show Tammy Faye in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, on Film4
