The Substance Film

Presence
Soderbergh challenges his directorial skills through this clever ghostly tale shot entirely from the viewpoint of the spirit. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their fresh home, the camera – representing the ghost – shadows their actions. Chloe seems aware of the ghostly being, and the entity appears defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? The premise is enjoyable that doesn't outstay its welcome, with a twist that may be unexpected. This Saturday, multiple showings, Sky Cinema Premiere

The Black Phone
The director's contained scarefest stands strong despite the lack of a follow-up. Located in 1978 Denver, multiple child abductions has rendered the local kids on edge. When Finney is taken by the kidnapper and locked up in a basement, he dreads a terrible outcome. Yet the disconnected phone on the wall repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators providing assistance, as the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen might rescue him. An effective horror.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for Mammon in this director's delightfully tacky film adaptation about the fallen religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. The actor portrays the greedy Jim, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin monetising the nation's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, however Chastain achieves to show the character in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, on Film4
