This Satirical Thriller
Coralie Fargeat's unflinching satire tackles the demanding standards for female beauty along with the dreaded aspects of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore offers an inspired portrayal playing Elisabeth, an aging film star reduced to starring in a workout series on television. Pushed out by her slimy boss Harvey, she turns to a mysterious and terrifying process titled "The Substance". This produces a younger clone portrayed by Margaret Qualley, resulting in a progressively parasitic dynamic among both women. October 17th, Paramount Plus

Presence
Steven Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries with this clever paranormal narrative shot entirely through the eyes of the phantom. As a family featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their new suburban house, the camera – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. Chloe seems aware of the poltergeist, and it seems protective of her. However, the motive remains? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, with a twist that may be unexpected. Saturday 11 October, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere

The Black Phone

This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for greed in this director's wonderfully garish film adaptation about the fallen religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. The actor plays the corrupt Bakker, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin capitalizing on the American public's religious faith. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, bad makeup and insincerity, however the lead actress achieves to show the character with compassion. Next Tuesday, late night, on Film4
