Finest Small Screen Selections: 7 Can't-Miss Films This Coming Week

Highlighted Choice

This Satirical Thriller

Coralie Fargeat's daring critique tackles the tyranny of feminine aesthetics as well as the dreaded aspects of advancing years. Hollywood star Demi Moore presents an inspired performance in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old celebrity demoted to hosting an aerobics show on the small screen. Forced aside due to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, she undergoes an enigmatic and gruesome treatment called the Substance. This generates a younger clone portrayed by Margaret Qualley, culminating in a steadily more toxic connection between them. October 17th, the streaming service Paramount+

The Woman in Cabin 10

This suspenseful story includes Knightley playing Laura, a top-notch writer who opts for some time off from writing about international wars to embark on a luxury cruise accompanied by a gravely sick wealthy inheritor and charitable figure, her spouse, as well as other filthy rich guests. However when an unknown lady disappears from the ship one night and the entire crew denies she ever existed, Laura's investigative instincts awaken. Streaming currently, the Netflix platform

Presence Film

The acclaimed director challenges his film-making abilities in this innovative supernatural story captured wholly from the perspective of a ghost. As a family featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the lens – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. The daughter appears conscious of the ghostly being, and the entity appears defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? It's a fun idea that doesn't outstay its welcome, including a revelation that may be unexpected. This Saturday, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema

Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy

Cage fully commits to his cult stardom in this meta comedy caper. He acts as a self-obsessed film star named Nicolas Cage who takes on a $1m payday to attend a festive event on the Spanish island for the rich superfan Javi. Hired by government spies to investigate the suspected cartel boss, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. This Saturday, evening, on Channel 4

This Creepy Thriller

The director's contained scarefest remains effective without requiring a continuation. Set in 1970s Colorado, a series of child abductions has made the local kids on edge. Once Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and locked up in a dungeon, he dreads the worst. However, the non-functional line in the room continues to ring, with spooky callers giving advice, as the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, 10.50pm, the Film4 channel

The Tammy Faye Biopic

In the conflict between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for greed in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top true story regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Garfield plays the greedy Jim, who proclaims early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence profiting from the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of poor styling, bad makeup and hypocrisy, yet Jessica Chastain manages to show Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel

Black Bag

The current week's another release from the filmmaker delivers a intelligence thriller as tight similar to the collars worn by Michael Fassbender's British agent. He receives a mission to discover a mole within their ranks from five suspects – among them is his own wife. Each performer are masters of understated style, so a delicious psychological game of truth or lie takes place. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the intelligent intelligence fun. This Friday, various showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
