Finest Small Screen Picks: 7 Can't-Miss Films In the Days Ahead

Highlighted Choice

This Satirical Thriller

The filmmaker's unflinching commentary tackles the tyranny of feminine aesthetics as well as the perceived horrors of growing older. Demi Moore presents a brilliant performance in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old actress reduced to hosting an aerobics show on the small screen. Forced aside by her unscrupulous employer Harvey, she undergoes a secretive and horrifying procedure titled "The Substance". This generates a youthful duplicate called Sue, culminating in a steadily more parasitic dynamic among both women. October 17th, Paramount+


The Woman in Cabin 10 Film

This suspenseful mystery stars Keira Knightley as Laura, a top-notch writer who takes a hiatus from covering world issues to board an opulent ship alongside an ailing Scandinavian billionaire and philanthropist, her husband, plus additional affluent passengers. However when an enigmatic female disappears from the ship overnight and everyone insists she wasn't real, the reporter's sleuthing skills awaken. Out now, Netflix


This Supernatural Story

The acclaimed director tests his creative boundaries in this clever supernatural story filmed completely from the viewpoint of the spirit. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe moves into their recent residence, the camera – AKA the Presence – follows them around. The daughter appears aware of the poltergeist, and it seems defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? It's a fun idea that doesn't outstay its welcome, featuring a surprise that could catch you off guard. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere


This Self-Referential Film

The iconic actor fully commits to his eccentric image through this self-referential adventure. He portrays a narcissistic Hollywood actor named Nicolas Cage who accepts a lucrative offer to visit a birthday party at a Mediterranean location for the wealthy superfan Javi. Hired by the CIA to spy on the alleged criminal, his unique performing skills comes in handy. October 11th, prime time, on Channel 4


This Creepy Thriller

The director's locked-room horror stands strong despite the lack of a follow-up. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, a series of child abductions has left the local kids anxious. After Finney is kidnapped by the villain and locked up in a cellar, he anticipates a terrible outcome. However, the non-functional line mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with spooky callers providing assistance, and the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen could save him. A genuinely scary movie. October 11th, 10.50pm, the Film4 channel


The Tammy Faye Biopic

In the struggle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in this director's brilliantly over-the-top biopic about the fallen TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor acts as the greedy Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye begin capitalizing on the nation's religious faith. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, bad makeup and insincerity, however the lead actress achieves to show the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, Film4


Black Bag

This week's another release from Steven Soderbergh delivers a intelligence thriller as tight like the turtlenecks sported by Michael Fassbender's British agent. He receives a mission to identify a traitor inside the organization out of five possibilities – one of whom is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Both actors are experts of understated style, so a delicious mind game of deception or honesty unfolds. Additional actors participate the clever spy entertainment. This Friday, multiple time slots, the Sky channel
