Presence
Steven Soderbergh tests his film-making abilities with this nifty supernatural story filmed completely from the viewpoint of the phantom. As a family featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe settles into their new suburban house, the filming device – AKA the Presence – tracks their movements. Chloe seems sensing the supernatural presence, and it looks like defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? It's a fun idea that remains concise, including a revelation you might not see coming. This Saturday, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Nicolas Cage wholeheartedly adopts his cult stardom via this meta comedy caper. He portrays an egotistical film star named Nicolas Cage who accepts a lucrative offer to attend a celebration in Mallorca for the wealthy Javi Gutierrez. Hired by government spies to investigate the alleged criminal, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. This Saturday, prime time, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
The director's locked-room horror stands strong even without a sequel. Located in 1978 Denver, multiple disappearances has made the youth frightened. After Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and held captive in a dungeon, he anticipates a terrible outcome. Yet the non-functional line in the room repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices giving advice, and the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror. This Saturday, late evening, Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for materialism in Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation about the fallen religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin profiting from the people's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, however the lead actress succeeds to present the character as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, early morning, the Film4 channel
The Spy Mystery
This period's second offering from Steven Soderbergh presents a intelligence thriller as precise like the turtlenecks worn by Fassbender's British agent. He receives a mission to discover a traitor among the team out of five possibilities – one of whom is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Each performer are experts of understated style, leading to a delightful mind game of truth or lie unfolds. Additional actors join in the smart espionage amusement.
