Presence Film
The acclaimed director tests his directorial skills with this innovative ghostly tale captured wholly through the eyes of a ghost. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe occupies their recent residence, the lens – AKA the Presence – tracks their movements.

Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Cage fully commits to his cult stardom via this autobiographical spoof.

This Creepy Thriller
The director's claustrophobic thriller holds up well even without a continuation. Set in the late 70s in Denver, multiple kidnappings has left the youth anxious. Once Finney gets captured by the villain and held captive in a cellar, he dreads the worst. But the old telephone on the wall repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators providing assistance, and the prescient dreams from his sibling Gwen may be his salvation. A solid creepfest.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky film adaptation about the fallen televangelist and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who declares early on, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals begin monetising the people's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, however Jessica Chastain achieves to show the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
