Finest TV Picks: Seven Can't-Miss Films In the Days Ahead
Highlighted Choice
This Satirical Thriller
Coralie Fargeat's unflinching satire examines the demanding standards for female beauty along with the feared consequences of ageing. Demi Moore presents a brilliant acting turn as Elisabeth, a mature film star forced into presenting an aerobics show on the small screen. Edged out by her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she seeks out an enigmatic and terrifying procedure titled "The Substance". This creates a youthful duplicate named Sue, resulting in a progressively vampiric relationship between the two. October 17th, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This suspenseful mystery stars Keira Knightley as Laura, an ace reporter who opts for a break from writing about international wars to embark on a high-end voyage alongside a gravely sick Norwegian shipping heiress and philanthropist, her spouse, plus additional filthy rich passengers. Yet once an enigmatic female falls into the sea overnight and the entire crew insists she wasn't real, Laura's investigative instincts kick in. Streaming currently, the Netflix platform
This Supernatural Story
Soderbergh pushes his creative boundaries in this nifty paranormal narrative shot entirely from the viewpoint of the phantom. When a household featuring mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their recent residence, the lens – as the unseen entity – follows them around. Chloe seems aware of the poltergeist, and it seems protective of her. Yet what is the reason? It's a fun idea that remains concise, featuring a surprise you might not see coming. October 11th, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Cage wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame in this self-referential adventure. He plays a self-obsessed Hollywood actor named Nicolas Cage who takes on a $1m payday to appear at a festive event on the Spanish island for billionaire superfan Javi. Hired by the CIA to spy on the suspected cartel boss, his unique performing skills comes in handy. This Saturday, prime time, the Channel 4 network
The Black Phone
Derrickson's contained scarefest stands strong despite the lack of a sequel. Set in 1978 Denver, a series of child abductions has made the local kids anxious. After Finney is kidnapped by the villain and imprisoned in a cellar, he fears the worst. But the old telephone in the room repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators offering help, as the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, the Film4 channel
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Michael Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic about the fallen TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield plays the greedy Jim, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye set about capitalizing on the nation's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, yet the lead actress achieves to show the character in a likable light. October 14th, early morning, the Film4 channel
This Espionage Thriller
This week's another release by the same director is a espionage tale as sharp as the polo necks worn by Michael Fassbender's intelligence officer. His assignment is with uncovering a mole within their ranks out of five possibilities – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Each performer are experts of deadpan cool, so a delicious mental battle of truth or lie unfolds. Additional actors take part the intelligent intelligence fun. This Friday, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
