This Satirical Thriller
Director Coralie Fargeat's unflinching satire addresses the demanding standards for female beauty as well as the perceived horrors of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore offers a brilliant performance as Elisabeth, a 50-year-old celebrity reduced to starring in a workout series on the small screen. Pushed out thanks to her slimy boss Harvey, she undergoes a mysterious and terrifying treatment called this experimental method. This creates a youthful duplicate portrayed by Margaret Qualley, resulting in a progressively vampiric relationship between them. Friday 17 October, Paramount+

Presence
Soderbergh challenges his creative boundaries through this nifty ghostly tale filmed completely through the eyes of a ghost. When a household featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the camera – representing the ghost – shadows their actions. The daughter appears conscious of the ghostly being, and it seems guarding her. But why? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, with a twist that could catch you off guard.

The Black Phone
Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong even without a continuation. Taking place in 1978 Denver, multiple child abductions has rendered the youth on edge. Once Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and held captive in a dungeon, he dreads a terrible outcome. Yet the disconnected phone in the room repeatedly calls, with spooky callers offering help, while the prescient dreams from his sibling Gwen may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. This Saturday, 10.50pm, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for Mammon in this director's delightfully tacky true story regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who proclaims early on, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye begin monetising the people's religious faith. It's a riot of poor styling, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, yet Chastain manages to depict the character as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, on Film4
Black Bag
This period's additional entry by the same director presents a spy mystery as sharp similar to the collars worn by Michael Fassbender's British agent. He is tasked with uncovering a double agent within their ranks from a group of five – including is his own wife. Each performer are masters of deadpan cool, so a delicious psychological game of fact versus fiction takes place. Additional actors participate the smart espionage amusement.
