Top Selection

This Satirical Thriller

The filmmaker's bold satire examines the tyranny of women's appearance along with the feared consequences of ageing. Demi Moore offers an inspired acting turn as Elisabeth, a mature film star forced into hosting a workout series on the small screen. Forced aside by her unscrupulous employer Harvey, she undergoes an enigmatic and horrifying process known as this experimental method. This creates a youthful duplicate named Sue, resulting in an increasingly toxic connection between them. Friday 17 October, Paramount Plus


This Mystery Thriller

This suspenseful mystery stars the talented actress as Laura, an ace reporter who opts for some time off from covering global conflict to board an opulent ship accompanied by a gravely sick Norwegian shipping heiress and donor, her husband, plus additional affluent passengers. However when an unknown lady goes overboard overnight and everyone insists she wasn't real, Laura's investigative instincts kick in. Available now, on Netflix


Presence Film

Steven Soderbergh challenges his directorial skills with this nifty paranormal narrative filmed completely from the viewpoint of the phantom. As a family including mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe settles into their fresh home, the lens – representing the ghost – shadows their actions. Chloe seems aware of the poltergeist, and the entity appears defensive toward her. But why? This is an entertaining concept that doesn't outstay its welcome, with a twist that may be unexpected. This Saturday, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema


Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy

Cage embraces his cult stardom in this self-referential adventure. He acts as a self-obsessed film star called Nicolas Cage who agrees to a $1m payday to appear at a birthday party on the Spanish island for billionaire Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Recruited by the CIA to spy on the potential kingpin, his unique performing skills proves useful. Saturday 11 October, 9pm, Channel 4


This Creepy Thriller

Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller stands strong without requiring a sequel. Set in 1970s Colorado, several child abductions has rendered the youth anxious. After Finney is taken by the kidnapper and imprisoned in a basement, he anticipates a terrible outcome. But the old telephone on the wall keeps ringing, with ghostly voices offering help, while the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror. This Saturday, late evening, Film4


The Eyes of Tammy Faye

In the battle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for greed in Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic of the disgraced TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield portrays the corrupt Bakker, who states initially, claiming divine approval for wealth. The couple commence profiting from the American public's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, overdone appearance and insincerity, however Jessica Chastain manages to present Tammy Faye in a likable light. October 14th, early morning, on Film4


Black Bag

This week's another release from the filmmaker delivers a spy mystery as precise similar to the collars worn by the actor's intelligence officer. His assignment is to identify a mole among the team out of five possibilities – among them is his own wife. Each performer are masters of understated style, resulting in an engaging mind game of fact versus fiction unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the smart espionage amusement. Friday 17 October, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema
