This Satirical Thriller
Director Coralie Fargeat's unflinching commentary addresses the tyranny of female beauty as well as the feared consequences of growing older. The veteran actress presents an inspired acting turn in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old celebrity demoted to starring in a workout series on TV. Pushed out by her slimy boss Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she seeks out a secretive and gruesome process called this experimental method. This produces a new version of herself called Sue, resulting in an increasingly toxic connection among both women. October 17th, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10
This suspenseful mystery features the talented actress as Laura, an ace reporter who opts for a break from writing about world issues to board a high-end voyage alongside a gravely sick wealthy inheritor and philanthropist, her husband, as well as other extremely wealthy passengers. Yet once an enigmatic female goes overboard during the evening and everyone insists she wasn't real, her journalistic curiosity kick in. Available now, the Netflix platform
This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director pushes his directorial skills with this clever supernatural story captured wholly from the perspective of a ghost. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their recent residence, the lens – as the unseen entity – follows them around. The daughter appears aware of the ghostly being, and it seems guarding her. However, the motive remains? It's a fun idea that avoids overstaying, including a revelation you might not see coming. This Saturday, multiple showings, the Sky channel
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Nicolas Cage embraces his eccentric image in this meta comedy caper. He acts as a self-obsessed celebrity named Nicolas Cage who takes on a lucrative offer to appear at a birthday party on the Spanish island for the wealthy superfan Javi. Recruited by the CIA to spy on the potential kingpin, the actor's unique performing skills proves useful. Saturday 11 October, prime time, Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
The director's claustrophobic thriller stands strong even without a follow-up. Set in the late 70s in Denver, a series of kidnappings has made the children anxious. When Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and held captive in a basement, he anticipates a fatal end. Yet the disconnected phone in the room continues to ring, with ghostly voices giving advice, and the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. A solid creepfest. Saturday 11 October, late evening, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for greed in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish biopic of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye begin monetising the nation's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of poor styling, bad makeup and hypocrisy, though Jessica Chastain achieves to show Tammy Faye in a likable light. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, on Film4

Both actors are experts of calm composure, resulting in an engaging mental battle of deception or honesty takes place. Additional actors join in the clever spy entertainment.
