Presence
Steven Soderbergh tests his directorial skills through this clever paranormal narrative captured wholly from the viewpoint of a ghost. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their fresh home, the filming device – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements.

Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Cage embraces his eccentric image through this self-referential adventure.

The Black Phone Horror

After Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a dungeon, he anticipates a terrible outcome. Yet the old telephone on the wall repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators giving advice, and the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for greed in this director's delightfully tacky true story regarding the shamed TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye set about profiting from the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of poor styling, bad makeup and insincerity, though Chastain succeeds to present the character in a likable light. October 14th, late night, on Film4

His assignment is with uncovering a traitor inside the organization out of five possibilities – including is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Both actors excel of deadpan cool, so a delicious mental battle of fact versus fiction develops. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela take part the intelligent intelligence fun.
