Top TV Selections: Seven Essential Films In the Days Ahead

Highlighted Choice

This Satirical Thriller

The filmmaker's unflinching satire examines the tyranny of feminine aesthetics along with the dreaded aspects of advancing years. Hollywood star Demi Moore offers a brilliant portrayal as Elisabeth, a 50-year-old celebrity demoted to presenting an aerobics show on the small screen. Pushed out due to her slimy boss Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she undergoes a secretive and gruesome process titled this experimental method. This produces a younger clone named Sue, leading to an increasingly toxic connection between the two. October 17th, the streaming service Paramount+


The Woman in Cabin 10 Film

This Agatha Christie-esque mystery includes the talented actress as Laura, a skilled journalist who takes some time off from covering world issues to join a high-end voyage alongside a gravely sick Scandinavian billionaire and philanthropist, her husband, as well as other extremely wealthy passengers. However when a mysterious woman disappears from the ship during the evening and all passengers denies she ever existed, the reporter's sleuthing skills take over. Available now, Netflix


Presence Film

Steven Soderbergh pushes his creative boundaries with this nifty supernatural story captured wholly from the perspective of a ghost. When a household including mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the filming device – AKA the Presence – follows them around. The daughter appears sensing the ghostly being, and the entity appears protective of her. However, the motive remains? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, including a revelation you might not see coming. Saturday 11 October, multiple showings, the Sky channel


The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Nicolas Cage wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame in this autobiographical spoof. He portrays a self-obsessed Hollywood actor named Nicolas Cage who agrees to a $1m payday to attend a festive event on the Spanish island for the rich Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Recruited by government spies to investigate the suspected cartel boss, the actor's unique performing skills comes in handy. This Saturday, prime time, on Channel 4


The Black Phone

The director's contained scarefest remains effective despite the lack of a sequel. Set in 1970s Colorado, multiple child abductions has made the local kids frightened. Once Finney is taken by the villain and imprisoned in a dungeon, he anticipates a fatal end. However, the non-functional line in the room repeatedly calls, with spooky callers providing assistance, as the prophetic visions from his sibling Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, Film4


The Eyes of Tammy Faye

In the conflict between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for Mammon in this director's wonderfully garish biopic regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband. The actor plays the corrupt Bakker, who declares early on, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals set about monetising the American public's religious faith. It's a spectacle of poor styling, bad makeup and bad faith, however Jessica Chastain manages to present the character with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, late night, the Film4 channel


The Spy Mystery

The current week's additional entry by the same director is a espionage tale as precise similar to the collars worn by the actor's UK spy. He receives a mission with uncovering a traitor within their ranks from a group of five – among them is his own wife. Each performer are masters of calm composure, leading to a delightful mental battle of fact versus fiction develops. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the clever spy entertainment. This Friday, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, the Sky channel
