This Satirical Thriller
Coralie Fargeat's bold satire examines the tyranny of women's appearance along with the feared consequences of ageing. Hollywood star Demi Moore offers a brilliant portrayal playing Elisabeth, a mature film star reduced to hosting a fitness program on the small screen. Forced aside thanks to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she undergoes an enigmatic and gruesome treatment titled this experimental method. This produces a younger clone called Sue, resulting in a steadily more vampiric relationship among both women. This Friday, Paramount+

This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director challenges his creative boundaries through this clever supernatural story captured wholly from the viewpoint of the spirit. When a household featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the filming device – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements. The teen shows signs of aware of the poltergeist, and it looks like guarding her. Yet what is the reason? This is an entertaining concept that doesn't outstay its welcome, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, the Sky channel
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Nicolas Cage fully commits to his eccentric image in this meta comedy caper. He portrays an egotistical celebrity playing himself who takes on a $1m payday to appear at a festive event at a Mediterranean location for billionaire superfan Javi. Hired by the intelligence agency to spy on the alleged criminal, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. This Saturday, prime time, on Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong without requiring a continuation. Located in 1970s Colorado, a series of child abductions has left the children on edge. Once Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and imprisoned in a basement, he dreads a terrible outcome. But the disconnected phone mounted nearby keeps ringing, with spooky callers giving advice, and the prophetic visions from his sibling Gwen could save him. A solid creepfest. Saturday 11 October, late evening, on Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky true story about the fallen TV preacher and her felon spouse. Garfield plays the venal Jim, who proclaims early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. The couple commence capitalizing on the people's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however the lead actress manages to present the real-life figure with compassion. October 14th, early morning, Film4
Black Bag
This week's second offering from the filmmaker is a intelligence thriller as precise as the polo necks used by Fassbender's British agent. He is tasked to discover a mole among the team from five suspects – one of whom is his spouse. The two stars are masters of deadpan cool, so a delicious mind game of truth or lie unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the clever spy entertainment. Friday 17 October, multiple time slots, the Sky channel
