Presence Film
Steven Soderbergh challenges his directorial skills with this innovative paranormal narrative filmed completely from the viewpoint of the phantom. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe occupies their fresh home, the camera – representing the ghost – shadows their actions.

It's a fun idea that doesn't outstay its welcome, including a revelation that may be unexpected. This Saturday, multiple showings, Sky Cinema Premiere

This Creepy Thriller
Scott Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller stands strong despite the lack of a continuation. Located in 1978 Denver, multiple disappearances has rendered the local kids frightened. When Finney is taken by the villain and held captive in a basement, he anticipates the worst. However, the disconnected phone in the room continues to ring, with eerie communicators giving advice, and the prophetic visions from his sibling Gwen could save him. A solid creepfest. October 11th, nighttime, on Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for materialism in Showalter's delightfully tacky true story about the fallen televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield portrays the corrupt Bakker, who declares at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals begin monetising the nation's religious faith. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, overdone appearance and insincerity, however Chastain succeeds to present the character with compassion. October 14th, early morning, Film4
Black Bag
