Prime TV Choices: 7 Must-Watch Motion Pictures In the Days Ahead
Highlighted Choice
The Substance Film
Coralie Fargeat's unflinching satire examines the oppressive nature of women's appearance and the dreaded aspects of ageing. Hollywood star Demi Moore delivers a masterful acting turn playing Elisabeth, an aging actress forced into hosting a workout series on the small screen. Edged out by her slimy boss Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she turns to a mysterious and terrifying process called the Substance. This generates a youthful duplicate called Sue, leading to a progressively vampiric relationship between the two. This Friday, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This suspenseful mystery features the talented actress playing Laura, a top-notch writer who opts for a break from reporting on global conflict to join a luxury cruise accompanied by an ailing Scandinavian billionaire and philanthropist, her spouse, plus additional affluent individuals. But after an unknown lady goes overboard during the evening and everyone denies she ever existed, the reporter's sleuthing skills take over. Out now, on Netflix
Presence Film
The acclaimed director challenges his creative boundaries in this nifty ghostly tale shot entirely from the perspective of the spirit. When a household featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe occupies their recent residence, the lens โ AKA the Presence โ follows them around. The teen shows signs of aware of the ghostly being, and it seems guarding her. However, the motive remains? The premise is enjoyable that avoids overstaying, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, the Sky channel
This Self-Referential Film
Cage fully commits to his unique fame in this autobiographical spoof. He portrays an egotistical film star called Nicolas Cage who takes on a million-dollar gig to visit a birthday party in Mallorca for billionaire superfan Javi. Contacted by the intelligence agency to gather intel on the potential kingpin, the actor's unconventional method proves useful. October 11th, prime time, on Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
Scott Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong even without a sequel. Located in the late 70s in Denver, a series of child abductions has made the children anxious. When Finney is kidnapped by โthe Grabberโ and held captive in a dungeon, he anticipates a fatal end. Yet the disconnected phone on the wall continues to ring, with ghostly voices giving advice, and the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen could save him. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, 10.50pm, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for Mammon in this director's wonderfully garish film adaptation about the fallen televangelist and her felon spouse. The actor plays the venal Jim, who states initially, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye set about capitalizing on the people's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, overdone appearance and insincerity, yet Chastain succeeds to show Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, Film4
This Espionage Thriller
This week's another release by the same director delivers a espionage tale as precise as the polo necks used by Fassbender's British agent. He is tasked to discover a double agent within their ranks from a group of five โ one of whom is his spouse. Both actors are masters of deadpan cool, resulting in an engaging psychological game of fact versus fiction develops. Additional actors participate the clever spy entertainment. Friday 17 October, various showings, Sky Cinema
