The Substance Film
The filmmaker's daring critique examines the tyranny of women's appearance as well as the feared consequences of advancing years. Demi Moore delivers a masterful performance as Elisabeth, a mature actress reduced to starring in a fitness program on TV.

This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director challenges his film-making abilities in this innovative ghostly tale captured wholly from the perspective of a ghost. As a family featuring mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the camera – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. Chloe seems conscious of the supernatural presence, and the entity appears defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? It's a fun idea that avoids overstaying, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. Saturday 11 October, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere

This Creepy Thriller
Scott Derrickson's locked-room horror remains effective even without a follow-up. Located in 1978 Denver, several child abductions has made the children anxious.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for greed in this director's brilliantly over-the-top true story regarding the shamed televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor acts as the venal Jim, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence monetising the nation's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and bad faith, however Chastain achieves to show Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, the Film4 channel
This Espionage Thriller
This period's another release from the filmmaker delivers a intelligence thriller as sharp like the turtlenecks sported by Fassbender's intelligence officer.
