Top Small Screen Choices: Seven Can't-Miss Films This Week

Highlighted Choice

This Satirical Thriller

Director Coralie Fargeat's bold critique examines the tyranny of female beauty and the feared consequences of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore delivers a brilliant portrayal playing Elisabeth, an aging celebrity demoted to presenting a workout series on television. Pushed out by her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she turns to a mysterious and terrifying treatment known as the Substance. This creates a younger clone called Sue, resulting in an increasingly toxic connection among both women. This Friday, Paramount+


The Woman in Cabin 10 Film

This suspenseful thriller features Knightley playing Laura, a top-notch writer who opts for a hiatus from covering global conflict to join a high-end voyage accompanied by an ailing wealthy inheritor and donor, her partner, as well as other extremely wealthy individuals. However when an enigmatic female goes overboard overnight and all passengers insists she wasn't real, her journalistic curiosity kick in. Out now, on Netflix


Presence Film

The acclaimed director tests his film-making abilities with this nifty ghostly tale shot entirely from the perspective of the phantom. When a household including mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe occupies their fresh home, the filming device – AKA the Presence – tracks their movements. The daughter appears aware of the supernatural presence, and it looks like guarding her. However, the motive remains? This is an entertaining concept that doesn't outstay its welcome, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere


The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Cage fully commits to his cult stardom in this self-referential adventure. He plays an egotistical Hollywood actor playing himself who accepts a $1m payday to attend a festive event in Mallorca for the rich Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Recruited by government spies to spy on the potential kingpin, the actor's unique performing skills is put to the test. October 11th, prime time, on Channel 4


The Black Phone

Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller holds up well even without a sequel. Located in the late 70s in Denver, a series of disappearances has left the local kids anxious. When Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and imprisoned in a cellar, he dreads a terrible outcome. However, the old telephone in the room keeps ringing, with ghostly voices offering help, as the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, on Film4


The Tammy Faye Biopic

In the battle between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for greed in this director's wonderfully garish biopic regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband. Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who proclaims initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin capitalizing on the nation's religious faith. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, yet the lead actress achieves to present the character with compassion. Next Tuesday, early morning, the Film4 channel


This Espionage Thriller

The current week's additional entry by the same director is a spy mystery as tight similar to the collars worn by the actor's intelligence officer. He receives a mission to discover a double agent inside the organization out of five possibilities – including is his own wife. The two stars are experts of deadpan cool, resulting in an engaging mind game of truth or lie unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the intelligent intelligence fun. This Friday, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema Premiere
