Presence Film

Soderbergh pushes his directorial skills with this clever ghostly tale filmed completely through the eyes of the spirit.

This Self-Referential Film

Nicolas Cage wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image via this meta comedy caper. He acts as a narcissistic Hollywood actor named Nicolas Cage who takes on a million-dollar gig to visit a birthday party at a Mediterranean location for billionaire superfan Javi. Recruited by the CIA to spy on the alleged criminal, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. October 11th, evening, the Channel 4 network

This Creepy Thriller

The director's locked-room horror remains effective despite the lack of a continuation. Located in the late 70s in Denver, multiple kidnappings has rendered the children anxious. Once Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and locked up in a basement, he fears a fatal end. However, the old telephone on the wall continues to ring, with eerie communicators offering help, as the prescient dreams from his sibling Gwen could save him. An effective horror.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye

In the struggle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for Mammon in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation regarding the shamed TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield plays the venal Jim, who declares initially, claiming divine approval for wealth. He and Tammy Faye begin profiting from the people's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, bad makeup and hypocrisy, yet the lead actress achieves to show the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, Film4
