The Substance Film
Coralie Fargeat's daring critique addresses the demanding standards for female beauty as well as the perceived horrors of ageing.

Soderbergh tests his film-making abilities in this innovative supernatural story filmed completely from the viewpoint of the phantom. After a clan including mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their recent residence, the lens – AKA the Presence – tracks their movements.

The Black Phone Horror
Derrickson's contained scarefest remains effective despite the lack of a sequel. Located in 1978 Denver, multiple kidnappings has left the youth on edge.

However, the disconnected phone on the wall keeps ringing, with eerie communicators providing assistance, and the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen might rescue him. An effective horror.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky true story of the disgraced TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield acts as the corrupt Bakker, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye begin profiting from the people's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of bad interior design, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, though Chastain achieves to depict Tammy Faye in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, the Film4 channel
