Presence
Soderbergh tests his directorial skills with this clever ghostly tale shot entirely from the viewpoint of the spirit. As a family featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their recent residence, the filming device – representing the ghost – tracks their movements. The teen shows signs of conscious of the poltergeist, and the entity appears guarding her. But why? The premise is enjoyable that doesn't outstay its welcome, with a twist that could catch you off guard. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere

The Black Phone
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective without requiring a sequel. Taking place in 1978 Denver, a series of kidnappings has made the children frightened. After Finney gets captured by the villain and imprisoned in a basement, he fears the worst. However, the disconnected phone on the wall keeps ringing, with spooky callers providing assistance, and the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. A solid creepfest.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky true story of the disgraced TV preacher and her felon spouse. Garfield plays the venal Jim, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin monetising the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, yet Jessica Chastain manages to present the character in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, late night, Film4
This Espionage Thriller
The current week's second offering from the filmmaker presents a intelligence thriller as sharp like the turtlenecks worn by Michael Fassbender's UK spy. He receives a mission with uncovering a double agent inside the organization from a group of five – including is his spouse. Both actors are masters of deadpan cool, so a delicious psychological game of deception or honesty takes place. Additional actors join in the intelligent intelligence fun.
