The Substance Film
Coralie Fargeat's daring critique addresses the demanding standards for feminine aesthetics and the dreaded aspects of ageing. Demi Moore presents a masterful acting turn in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old actress demoted to presenting a fitness program on television. Pushed out thanks to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, she turns to a secretive and terrifying procedure known as "The Substance". This generates a new version of herself named Sue, culminating in a progressively parasitic dynamic between them. This Friday, the streaming service Paramount+

Presence
Steven Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries in this nifty supernatural story shot entirely from the viewpoint of the spirit. When a household featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe settles into their fresh home, the camera – representing the ghost – follows them around. Chloe seems aware of the poltergeist, and it looks like guarding her. But why? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. This Saturday, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, the Sky channel
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy

The Black Phone Horror
Derrickson's contained scarefest remains effective without requiring a follow-up. Located in 1970s Colorado, a series of child abductions has made the local kids anxious. Once Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and held captive in a dungeon, he dreads a fatal end. But the disconnected phone on the wall continues to ring, with ghostly voices offering help, and the prophetic visions of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, nighttime, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for materialism in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic about the fallen televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor portrays the venal Jim, who states initially, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals commence monetising the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of tacky decor, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, however the lead actress achieves to present Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, late night, Film4
Black Bag
This week's additional entry by the same director presents a espionage tale as precise as the polo necks used by Michael Fassbender's intelligence officer. He is tasked to discover a traitor among the team from five suspects – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. The two stars are experts of deadpan cool, leading to a delightful mental battle of truth or lie takes place. Additional actors participate the clever spy entertainment.
