This Mystery Thriller

This suspenseful thriller stars the talented actress as Laura, an ace reporter who takes some time off from covering world issues to embark on a luxury cruise with a gravely sick Scandinavian billionaire and philanthropist, her husband, as well as other filthy rich guests. However when a mysterious woman falls into the sea one night and all passengers insists she wasn't real, the reporter's sleuthing skills kick in. Out now, Netflix


Presence Film

Steven Soderbergh challenges his directorial skills in this clever paranormal narrative filmed completely from the viewpoint of a ghost. As a family with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the camera – AKA the Presence – follows them around. The teen shows signs of sensing the supernatural presence, and it seems guarding her. However, the motive remains?

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Nicolas Cage wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image in this meta comedy caper. He portrays a narcissistic Hollywood actor called Nicolas Cage who agrees to a lucrative offer to attend a celebration on the Spanish island for the wealthy Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Hired by the intelligence agency to spy on the suspected cartel boss, his unconventional method comes in handy. Saturday 11 October, prime time, on Channel 4


This Creepy Thriller

Derrickson's contained scarefest remains effective even without a sequel. Located in 1970s Colorado, a series of child abductions has made the youth on edge. Once Finney is kidnapped by the kidnapper and imprisoned in a cellar, he anticipates the worst. But the disconnected phone mounted nearby keeps ringing, with ghostly voices providing assistance, and the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. A solid creepfest. October 11th, nighttime, the Film4 channel


This Dramatic Portrait

In the battle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for greed in this director's delightfully tacky film adaptation regarding the shamed religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who states early on, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals set about profiting from the American public's religious faith. It's a riot of bad interior design, bad makeup and hypocrisy, yet Chastain manages to present Tammy Faye with compassion. October 14th, early morning, on Film4


Black Bag
