This Satirical Thriller
Coralie Fargeat's daring satire tackles the demanding standards for feminine aesthetics along with the dreaded aspects of ageing. The veteran actress delivers a brilliant portrayal as Elisabeth, a 50-year-old film star demoted to starring in an aerobics show on the small screen. Pushed out due to her slimy boss Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she turns to a secretive and horrifying treatment known as this experimental method. This generates a younger clone named Sue, culminating in a steadily more vampiric relationship among both women. This Friday, the streaming service Paramount+

Presence
Steven Soderbergh tests his directorial skills with this nifty paranormal narrative filmed completely from the perspective of the phantom. As a family featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the lens – AKA the Presence – shadows their actions. The daughter appears aware of the poltergeist, and the entity appears defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? The premise is enjoyable that avoids overstaying, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. Saturday 11 October, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Nicolas Cage wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame through this meta comedy caper.

Hired by the intelligence agency to spy on the potential kingpin, his unique performing skills proves useful. October 11th, evening, on Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's contained scarefest stands strong even without a follow-up. Set in the late 70s in Denver, multiple child abductions has rendered the local kids anxious. Once Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and locked up in a dungeon, he fears a fatal end. But the disconnected phone mounted nearby keeps ringing, with ghostly voices offering help, and the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, nighttime, on Film4
This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic regarding the shamed televangelist and her felon spouse. Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who states at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals commence capitalizing on the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, though the lead actress achieves to depict the character as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, on Film4
The Spy Mystery
This week's another release from Steven Soderbergh presents a intelligence thriller as tight like the turtlenecks used by Michael Fassbender's intelligence officer. His assignment is to discover a traitor among the team out of five possibilities – one of whom is his spouse. The two stars are masters of understated style, resulting in an engaging mind game of truth or lie unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the smart espionage amusement. Friday 17 October, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema Premiere
