This Satirical Thriller
Coralie Fargeat's daring critique examines the demanding standards for female beauty as well as the feared consequences of advancing years. Demi Moore offers a brilliant acting turn playing Elisabeth, a mature actress demoted to starring in a fitness program on TV. Forced aside due to her slimy boss Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she seeks out a mysterious and gruesome procedure titled this experimental method. This generates a younger clone named Sue, resulting in a progressively parasitic dynamic among both women. October 17th, Paramount Plus
The Woman in Cabin 10
This Agatha Christie-esque story stars Keira Knightley in the role of Laura, a skilled journalist who takes a break from covering world issues to join an opulent ship alongside a terminally ill Scandinavian billionaire and philanthropist, her partner, and other affluent individuals. Yet once an unknown lady goes overboard during the evening and everyone denies she ever existed, the reporter's sleuthing skills awaken. Out now, the Netflix platform
Presence Film
Steven Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries in this innovative ghostly tale filmed completely through the eyes of the phantom. When a household with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe occupies their fresh home, the camera – AKA the Presence – tracks their movements. The teen shows signs of conscious of the ghostly being, and the entity appears defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? This is an entertaining concept that avoids overstaying, including a revelation you might not see coming. This Saturday, multiple showings, the Sky channel
This Self-Referential Film
Cage wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame in this meta comedy caper. He acts as an egotistical film star named Nicolas Cage who takes on a million-dollar gig to visit a birthday party in Mallorca for billionaire Javi Gutierrez. Recruited by the CIA to investigate the suspected cartel boss, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” is put to the test. This Saturday, 9pm, Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
Scott Derrickson's locked-room horror holds up well even without a continuation. Located in 1970s Colorado, a series of kidnappings has made the children frightened. Once Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a basement, he fears a terrible outcome. But the disconnected phone in the room repeatedly calls, with spooky callers giving advice, as the prophetic visions from his sibling Gwen could save him. A solid creepfest. Saturday 11 October, 10.50pm, on Film4
This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for Mammon in Michael Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed TV preacher and her criminal husband. Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who states initially, claiming divine approval for wealth. He and Tammy Faye set about capitalizing on the people's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of bad interior design, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, yet Chastain manages to present Tammy Faye with compassion. Next Tuesday, late night, on Film4
This Espionage Thriller
The current week's additional entry by the same director delivers a spy mystery as sharp like the turtlenecks used by Michael Fassbender's UK spy. His assignment is to discover a traitor among the team from a group of five – among them is his own wife. Each performer are experts of deadpan cool, so a delicious mental battle of truth or lie unfolds. Additional actors participate the clever spy entertainment. Friday 17 October, various showings, the Sky channel
