Soderbergh tests his directorial skills with this nifty ghostly tale shot entirely from the viewpoint of the phantom. After a clan including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their fresh home, the filming device – AKA the Presence – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of conscious of the ghostly being, and it looks like protective of her. Yet what is the reason? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, with a twist you might not see coming. October 11th, multiple showings, Sky Cinema
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
The iconic actor wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame in this self-referential adventure.

The Black Phone Horror
The director's claustrophobic thriller holds up well even without a follow-up. Located in 1978 Denver, multiple kidnappings has left the children on edge. Once Finney gets captured by the villain and held captive in a basement, he dreads a fatal end. Yet the non-functional line in the room continues to ring, with spooky callers giving advice, as the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror. This Saturday, nighttime, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for Mammon in this director's delightfully tacky biopic of the disgraced televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor plays the corrupt Bakker, who states early on, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals commence monetising the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of poor styling, overdone appearance and bad faith, however Jessica Chastain succeeds to show the real-life figure in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, Film4
