This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's daring critique addresses the oppressive nature of women's appearance along with the feared consequences of ageing. Hollywood star Demi Moore offers a masterful portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old actress demoted to hosting a workout series on TV. Forced aside due to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she undergoes an enigmatic and terrifying procedure called the Substance. This creates a youthful duplicate named Sue, culminating in a steadily more toxic connection between the two. October 17th, the streaming service Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10
This suspenseful thriller features Keira Knightley in the role of Laura, a top-notch writer who opts for a hiatus from covering international wars to join a high-end voyage alongside a terminally ill Scandinavian billionaire and philanthropist, her husband, plus additional affluent individuals. However when an enigmatic female goes overboard during the evening and everyone insists she wasn't real, her journalistic curiosity take over. Out now, on Netflix
Presence Film
Soderbergh pushes his creative boundaries with this clever ghostly tale shot entirely from the perspective of a ghost. When a household including mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe moves into their fresh home, the camera – AKA the Presence – follows them around. The teen shows signs of conscious of the ghostly being, and it seems protective of her. Yet what is the reason? It's a fun idea that remains concise, with a twist that may be unexpected. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Cage fully commits to his eccentric image in this meta comedy caper. He acts as an egotistical film star named Nicolas Cage who agrees to a $1m payday to visit a celebration on the Spanish island for the wealthy Javi Gutierrez. Recruited by government spies to spy on the suspected cartel boss, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” is put to the test. October 11th, prime time, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong even without a sequel. Located in the late 70s in Denver, a series of kidnappings has made the children on edge. When Finney is taken by the kidnapper and imprisoned in a cellar, he anticipates the worst. But the non-functional line mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with spooky callers giving advice, while the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen might rescue him. An effective horror. October 11th, late evening, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's wonderfully garish true story of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. The actor acts as the greedy Jim, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence profiting from the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of poor styling, bad makeup and insincerity, however Chastain succeeds to depict the character with compassion. Next Tuesday, early morning, the Film4 channel

This week's additional entry from the filmmaker delivers a intelligence thriller as tight like the turtlenecks used by Michael Fassbender's intelligence officer. His assignment is to identify a traitor inside the organization out of five possibilities – one of whom is his spouse.
