Presence Film
The acclaimed director challenges his creative boundaries through this innovative supernatural story shot entirely through the eyes of a ghost. As a family including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their recent residence, the lens – representing the ghost – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of sensing the supernatural presence, and it seems guarding her. However, the motive remains? The premise is enjoyable that doesn't outstay its welcome, with a twist you might not see coming. Saturday 11 October, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema
This Self-Referential Film
Cage wholeheartedly adopts his cult stardom through this meta comedy caper. He acts as a narcissistic Hollywood actor called Nicolas Cage who accepts a $1m payday to visit a celebration on the Spanish island for the rich superfan Javi. Contacted by the CIA to gather intel on the potential kingpin, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” is put to the test. This Saturday, evening, Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
The director's claustrophobic thriller remains effective despite the lack of a sequel. Located in 1970s Colorado, a series of child abductions has made the children on edge. Once Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a dungeon, he anticipates a fatal end. But the old telephone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators providing assistance, and the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. October 11th, 10.50pm, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for materialism in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation regarding the shamed TV preacher and her felon spouse. Garfield acts as the corrupt Bakker, who declares initially, claiming divine approval for wealth. Both individuals commence monetising the people's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of tacky decor, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, however Jessica Chastain manages to depict Tammy Faye in a likable light. Next Tuesday, late night, on Film4
