This Supernatural Story
Steven Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities through this nifty supernatural story filmed completely from the perspective of the phantom. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the filming device – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements.

This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective even without a continuation. Located in 1978 Denver, a series of kidnappings has left the youth on edge. Once Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and held captive in a cellar, he fears the worst. However, the non-functional line mounted nearby keeps ringing, with ghostly voices providing assistance, while the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, 10.50pm, the Film4 channel
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic about the fallen religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. The actor portrays the venal Jim, who proclaims initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence capitalizing on the American public's Christian beliefs. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, yet the lead actress succeeds to present the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, on Film4
This Espionage Thriller
The current week's another release by the same director delivers a intelligence thriller as precise as the polo necks used by Michael Fassbender's intelligence officer.

The two stars are masters of deadpan cool, so a delicious mind game of truth or lie unfolds. Additional actors take part the smart espionage amusement.
