Presence Film
Soderbergh challenges his directorial skills through this nifty ghostly tale captured wholly through the eyes of a ghost. As a family including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their fresh home, the lens – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. Chloe seems conscious of the ghostly being, and it seems defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? The premise is enjoyable that doesn't outstay its welcome, including a revelation you might not see coming. October 11th, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Hired by the intelligence agency to spy on the suspected cartel boss, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” is put to the test. This Saturday, 9pm, on Channel 4
The Black Phone
Derrickson's contained scarefest holds up well without requiring a sequel. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, multiple kidnappings has rendered the youth frightened. After Finney gets captured by the villain and held captive in a basement, he fears a terrible outcome. Yet the disconnected phone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with spooky callers providing assistance, and the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. A solid creepfest.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for greed in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals commence capitalizing on the American public's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, though Chastain succeeds to show the character in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, the Film4 channel
