The Substance Film
Coralie Fargeat's bold commentary addresses the tyranny of women's appearance as well as the feared consequences of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore delivers an inspired performance playing Elisabeth, a 50-year-old celebrity reduced to starring in an aerobics show on the small screen.

The Woman in Cabin 10
This suspenseful mystery includes Knightley playing Laura, a top-notch writer who takes a break from reporting on international wars to join an opulent ship alongside a gravely sick Norwegian shipping heiress and donor, her spouse, and other affluent individuals. Yet once an enigmatic female disappears from the ship overnight and everyone denies she ever existed, the reporter's sleuthing skills kick in. Available now, on Netflix
Presence Film
Steven Soderbergh pushes his creative boundaries through this innovative paranormal narrative captured wholly through the eyes of the spirit. When a household featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their recent residence, the camera – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements. Chloe seems sensing the poltergeist, and it seems defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? This is an entertaining concept that remains concise, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. Saturday 11 October, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Nicolas Cage wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame in this autobiographical spoof. He acts as a narcissistic film star playing himself who agrees to a $1m payday to attend a birthday party at a Mediterranean location for billionaire Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Hired by the CIA to investigate the potential kingpin, the actor's unconventional method is put to the test. Saturday 11 October, prime time, Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's contained scarefest stands strong without requiring a continuation. Set in 1970s Colorado, multiple child abductions has left the local kids on edge. After Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and locked up in a cellar, he dreads the worst. However, the old telephone on the wall keeps ringing, with ghostly voices providing assistance, while the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen could save him. A genuinely scary movie. This Saturday, nighttime, the Film4 channel
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for greed in this director's wonderfully garish true story of the disgraced televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who declares initially, claiming divine approval for wealth. Both individuals commence capitalizing on the nation's religious faith. It's a riot of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, though Chastain manages to present the character in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, late night, on Film4
The Spy Mystery
The current week's another release from Steven Soderbergh delivers a spy mystery as sharp like the turtlenecks used by the actor's UK spy. He receives a mission to identify a mole within their ranks from five suspects – one of whom is his spouse. The two stars are masters of calm composure, leading to a delightful mind game of fact versus fiction develops. The supporting cast take part the intelligent intelligence fun.
