This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's bold commentary tackles the demanding standards for feminine aesthetics and the dreaded aspects of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore presents a brilliant portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, a mature celebrity reduced to presenting an aerobics show on TV. Edged out due to her deceitful superior her manager Harvey, she turns to an enigmatic and horrifying treatment called the Substance. This creates a youthful duplicate named Sue, culminating in a progressively parasitic dynamic among both women. October 17th, Paramount Plus
The Woman in Cabin 10
This Agatha Christie-esque thriller features Knightley in the role of Laura, a top-notch writer who decides to take a hiatus from writing about world issues to join an opulent ship alongside a terminally ill wealthy inheritor and donor, her spouse, and other affluent individuals. However when an unknown lady goes overboard during the evening and everyone claims she was never there, the reporter's sleuthing skills kick in. Out now, on Netflix
This Supernatural Story
Steven Soderbergh pushes his creative boundaries with this nifty paranormal narrative captured wholly from the viewpoint of the phantom. As a family featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe settles into their recent residence, the filming device – as the unseen entity – follows them around. Chloe seems aware of the supernatural presence, and the entity appears guarding her. But why? It's a fun idea that remains concise, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. Saturday 11 October, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Cage fully commits to his unique fame via this autobiographical spoof. He plays an egotistical Hollywood actor named Nicolas Cage who takes on a $1m payday to attend a birthday party in Mallorca for the wealthy superfan Javi. Contacted by the CIA to investigate the suspected cartel boss, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. This Saturday, prime time, on Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
The director's claustrophobic thriller stands strong without requiring a sequel. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, a series of kidnappings has rendered the local kids anxious. Once Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a basement, he fears the worst. But the old telephone in the room continues to ring, with ghostly voices providing assistance, as the prophetic visions of Gwen, his sister could save him. A genuinely scary movie. October 11th, nighttime, on Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky true story about the fallen religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. The actor portrays the greedy Jim, who declares early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin monetising the people's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, though the lead actress achieves to present the real-life figure in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, on Film4
The Spy Mystery
This period's another release from the filmmaker delivers a spy mystery as tight as the polo necks sported by Michael Fassbender's UK spy. His assignment is to identify a traitor within their ranks out of five possibilities – one of whom is his own wife. Each performer excel of deadpan cool, leading to a delightful mind game of fact versus fiction takes place. Additional actors participate the intelligent intelligence fun. Friday 17 October, multiple time slots, the Sky channel
