Highlighted Choice

The Substance

The filmmaker's bold satire addresses the demanding standards for feminine aesthetics and the feared consequences of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore offers a masterful acting turn as Elisabeth, a mature actress reduced to starring in an aerobics show on the small screen. Forced aside thanks to her slimy boss her manager Harvey, she seeks out an enigmatic and gruesome process called "The Substance". This creates a youthful duplicate portrayed by Margaret Qualley, resulting in a progressively toxic connection between them. Friday 17 October, Paramount+


The Woman in Cabin 10

This suspenseful mystery includes Keira Knightley playing Laura, a skilled journalist who decides to take a hiatus from reporting on global conflict to join a luxury cruise alongside a gravely sick Norwegian shipping heiress and philanthropist, her spouse, plus additional extremely wealthy passengers. Yet once a mysterious woman disappears from the ship overnight and the entire crew insists she wasn't real, Laura's investigative instincts take over. Out now, Netflix


Presence Film

Soderbergh pushes his directorial skills with this innovative ghostly tale filmed completely from the viewpoint of the phantom. As a family featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe settles into their new suburban house, the camera – representing the ghost – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of sensing the ghostly being, and it seems defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? It's a fun idea that remains concise, with a twist that may be unexpected.

This Creepy Thriller

The Eyes of Tammy Faye

In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for greed in this director's wonderfully garish biopic of the disgraced TV preacher and her criminal husband. Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who states initially, claiming divine approval for wealth. Both individuals begin profiting from the American public's religious faith. It's a spectacle of poor styling, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however Jessica Chastain succeeds to depict the character with compassion. October 14th, early morning, on Film4
