This Satirical Thriller
Coralie Fargeat's unflinching satire tackles the tyranny of feminine aesthetics as well as the feared consequences of ageing. Hollywood star Demi Moore presents an inspired acting turn in the role of Elisabeth, an aging celebrity reduced to starring in a fitness program on TV. Forced aside thanks to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she seeks out a secretive and gruesome treatment titled this experimental method. This generates a youthful duplicate portrayed by Margaret Qualley, leading to a progressively toxic connection between the two. Friday 17 October, Paramount Plus

This classic whodunit thriller includes Keira Knightley as Laura, a skilled journalist who takes some time off from reporting on world issues to join a high-end voyage with an ailing Norwegian shipping heiress and donor, her spouse, as well as other filthy rich individuals.

Presence Film
Soderbergh pushes his directorial skills through this innovative supernatural story shot entirely from the perspective of the spirit. As a family featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe settles into their new suburban house, the filming device – representing the ghost – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of aware of the poltergeist, and the entity appears guarding her. Yet what is the reason? The premise is enjoyable that avoids overstaying, including a revelation you might not see coming. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
The iconic actor wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame via this self-referential adventure. He acts as an egotistical celebrity named Nicolas Cage who takes on a $1m payday to visit a festive event in Mallorca for the wealthy Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Hired by the intelligence agency to spy on the alleged criminal, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. Saturday 11 October, 9pm, on Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
Scott Derrickson's contained scarefest remains effective even without a continuation. Set in the late 70s in Denver, a series of disappearances has rendered the local kids frightened. Once Finney is kidnapped by the kidnapper and locked up in a cellar, he anticipates the worst. However, the old telephone in the room continues to ring, with ghostly voices giving advice, and the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror. October 11th, late evening, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for greed in this director's delightfully tacky film adaptation about the fallen TV preacher and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin capitalizing on the nation's religious faith. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, though Jessica Chastain succeeds to show the character as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, Film4
This Espionage Thriller
This week's another release from the filmmaker delivers a intelligence thriller as precise like the turtlenecks worn by Fassbender's intelligence officer. He receives a mission to discover a mole within their ranks from five suspects – among them is his spouse. The two stars are masters of understated style, resulting in an engaging mind game of deception or honesty unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela take part the clever spy entertainment. Friday 17 October, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema Premiere
