The Substance
Coralie Fargeat's daring commentary examines the tyranny of female beauty as well as the feared consequences of ageing. The veteran actress presents an inspired portrayal as Elisabeth, a 50-year-old actress forced into presenting a fitness program on the small screen. Forced aside by her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she seeks out a secretive and horrifying procedure called this experimental method. This generates a new version of herself portrayed by Margaret Qualley, leading to a steadily more parasitic dynamic between them. October 17th, Paramount+

This Supernatural Story
Soderbergh pushes his directorial skills through this innovative supernatural story shot entirely from the perspective of a ghost. As a family featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their recent residence, the lens – representing the ghost – tracks their movements. Chloe seems sensing the supernatural presence, and it looks like defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? This is an entertaining concept that avoids overstaying, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. Saturday 11 October, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, the Sky channel
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Nicolas Cage embraces his cult stardom through this self-referential adventure. He acts as a narcissistic Hollywood actor named Nicolas Cage who takes on a million-dollar gig to visit a birthday party in Mallorca for the rich Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Recruited by the CIA to spy on the suspected cartel boss, the actor's unique performing skills is put to the test. Saturday 11 October, 9pm, on Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
The director's claustrophobic thriller holds up well without requiring a continuation. Taking place in the late 70s in Denver, a series of disappearances has left the local kids anxious. When Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and held captive in a cellar, he dreads a terrible outcome. However, the non-functional line on the wall continues to ring, with ghostly voices offering help, as the prophetic visions from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, 10.50pm, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for materialism in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye begin profiting from the nation's religious faith. It's a riot of poor styling, overdone appearance and insincerity, however the lead actress succeeds to depict the real-life figure in a likable light. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
The Spy Mystery
This period's another release from Steven Soderbergh delivers a intelligence thriller as tight like the turtlenecks worn by the actor's UK spy. He is tasked to identify a double agent within their ranks from a group of five – one of whom is his own wife. Each performer are masters of understated style, so a delicious psychological game of deception or honesty takes place. Additional actors take part the smart espionage amusement. October 17th, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, the Sky channel
