Presence Film
Soderbergh tests his directorial skills in this clever paranormal narrative filmed completely through the eyes of the spirit. When a household featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe moves into their recent residence, the lens – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements.

It's a fun idea that doesn't outstay its welcome, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. October 11th, multiple showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
This Self-Referential Film
The iconic actor embraces his cult stardom via this meta comedy caper.

The Black Phone Horror
The director's claustrophobic thriller stands strong without requiring a continuation. Located in 1970s Colorado, a series of disappearances has made the children frightened. After Finney is taken by the villain and imprisoned in a dungeon, he anticipates the worst. However, the old telephone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators giving advice, and the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, the Film4 channel
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's brilliantly over-the-top true story about the fallen televangelist and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield plays the greedy Jim, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin capitalizing on the nation's religious faith. It's a spectacle of poor styling, bad makeup and insincerity, yet the lead actress achieves to present the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, Film4
