Presence
Steven Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities through this nifty ghostly tale captured wholly through the eyes of a ghost. As a family including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their recent residence, the lens – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of conscious of the supernatural presence, and it looks like protective of her. But why? This is an entertaining concept that remains concise, including a revelation that may be unexpected. This Saturday, multiple showings, the Sky channel
This Self-Referential Film
Cage fully commits to his cult stardom through this meta comedy caper. He acts as an egotistical Hollywood actor playing himself who accepts a million-dollar gig to appear at a festive event in Mallorca for the wealthy Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Hired by the intelligence agency to investigate the potential kingpin, Cage's unconventional method comes in handy. This Saturday, evening, on Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
The director's claustrophobic thriller remains effective even without a continuation. Located in 1970s Colorado, a series of kidnappings has left the youth on edge. After Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and held captive in a basement, he anticipates a terrible outcome. However, the disconnected phone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with spooky callers providing assistance, as the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen might rescue him. A genuinely scary movie. This Saturday, late evening, on Film4
This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky biopic about the fallen televangelist and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who declares early on, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye begin profiting from the nation's Christian beliefs. It's a spectacle of poor styling, overdone appearance and bad faith, though Chastain manages to present Tammy Faye with compassion. October 14th, 1.15am, on Film4
