This Supernatural Story
Steven Soderbergh tests his film-making abilities in this innovative paranormal narrative captured wholly from the perspective of the phantom. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe settles into their recent residence, the filming device – representing the ghost – tracks their movements.

Cage embraces his cult stardom in this meta comedy caper.

This Creepy Thriller
Scott Derrickson's locked-room horror holds up well despite the lack of a sequel. Located in the late 70s in Denver, a series of child abductions has left the children on edge. Once Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a dungeon, he anticipates the worst. However, the disconnected phone mounted nearby keeps ringing, with eerie communicators providing assistance, while the prophetic visions of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A solid creepfest. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky biopic regarding the shamed televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals commence capitalizing on the nation's religious faith. It's a riot of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, yet the lead actress manages to present Tammy Faye with compassion. Next Tuesday, late night, Film4
