This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director tests his film-making abilities in this clever ghostly tale captured wholly from the perspective of the spirit. When a household including mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe moves into their recent residence, the camera – AKA the Presence – follows them around. The daughter appears conscious of the supernatural presence, and it looks like guarding her. Yet what is the reason? This is an entertaining concept that remains concise, including a revelation that may be unexpected. This Saturday, multiple showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Cage fully commits to his unique fame through this meta comedy caper.

Hired by the CIA to spy on the suspected cartel boss, the actor's unconventional method comes in handy. This Saturday, evening, Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
Scott Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller holds up well without requiring a sequel. Set in 1978 Denver, a series of disappearances has rendered the youth anxious. When Finney gets captured by the villain and imprisoned in a dungeon, he fears the worst. However, the non-functional line mounted nearby continues to ring, with spooky callers offering help, while the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen may be his salvation. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, 10.50pm, on Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic

Garfield plays the venal Jim, who states at the beginning, claiming divine approval for wealth. The couple commence monetising the nation's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, bad makeup and bad faith, however Jessica Chastain succeeds to show the character in a likable light. Next Tuesday, late night, the Film4 channel
