Presence Film
The acclaimed director pushes his film-making abilities with this innovative paranormal narrative shot entirely from the perspective of the phantom. As a family featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their fresh home, the filming device – representing the ghost – tracks their movements. Chloe seems aware of the supernatural presence, and it looks like defensive toward her. However, the motive remains?

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
The iconic actor fully commits to his cult stardom in this autobiographical spoof. He plays a self-obsessed Hollywood actor playing himself who agrees to a million-dollar gig to visit a celebration at a Mediterranean location for the wealthy superfan Javi. Recruited by the CIA to spy on the alleged criminal, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. This Saturday, evening, on Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
Scott Derrickson's contained scarefest stands strong without requiring a continuation. Set in 1978 Denver, a series of child abductions has rendered the youth frightened. When Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and held captive in a basement, he fears the worst. But the old telephone in the room continues to ring, with ghostly voices giving advice, as the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen might rescue him. An effective horror. October 11th, 10.50pm, Film4
This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky film adaptation regarding the shamed TV preacher and her felon spouse. Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin profiting from the people's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, overdone appearance and insincerity, however Jessica Chastain manages to depict the real-life figure with compassion. Next Tuesday, late night, on Film4
This Espionage Thriller
This week's additional entry from Steven Soderbergh is a intelligence thriller as precise as the polo necks used by Michael Fassbender's UK spy. His assignment is to identify a mole among the team out of five possibilities – among them is his own wife. The two stars are masters of calm composure, leading to a delightful mind game of fact versus fiction takes place. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela take part the clever spy entertainment. This Friday, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema
