The Substance Film
Director Coralie Fargeat's unflinching satire tackles the tyranny of female beauty and the dreaded aspects of ageing. Hollywood star Demi Moore delivers a brilliant portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, a mature actress forced into starring in an aerobics show on TV. Edged out thanks to her unscrupulous employer her manager Harvey, she turns to a mysterious and terrifying procedure known as this experimental method. This produces a youthful duplicate portrayed by Margaret Qualley, culminating in an increasingly toxic connection among both women. October 17th, Paramount+

This Supernatural Story
Soderbergh challenges his creative boundaries through this nifty paranormal narrative shot entirely from the perspective of the spirit. As a family including mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe moves into their recent residence, the camera – as the unseen entity – follows them around. Chloe seems aware of the supernatural presence, and it looks like defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? It's a fun idea that avoids overstaying, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Cage embraces his eccentric image through this self-referential adventure. He portrays a self-obsessed film star named Nicolas Cage who accepts a million-dollar gig to attend a celebration on the Spanish island for billionaire Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Contacted by government spies to investigate the alleged criminal, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” is put to the test. October 11th, evening, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
The director's contained scarefest holds up well even without a sequel. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, several kidnappings has made the children frightened. Once Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and locked up in a dungeon, he anticipates a terrible outcome. However, the disconnected phone mounted nearby continues to ring, with eerie communicators offering help, as the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister could save him. An effective horror. Saturday 11 October, late evening, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for greed in Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic about the fallen TV preacher and her criminal husband. The actor acts as the corrupt Bakker, who states early on, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals begin monetising the American public's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and hypocrisy, yet the lead actress achieves to show the real-life figure in a likable light. Next Tuesday, early morning, Film4
The Spy Mystery
This period's second offering by the same director is a spy mystery as tight as the polo necks sported by the actor's UK spy. He is tasked to identify a double agent among the team out of five possibilities – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Each performer are masters of deadpan cool, resulting in an engaging mind game of truth or lie develops. Additional actors take part the smart espionage amusement. This Friday, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema Premiere
