Prime Television Selections: 7 Must-Watch Movies This Coming Week

Highlighted Choice

This Satirical Thriller

The filmmaker's unflinching commentary tackles the oppressive nature of feminine aesthetics and the feared consequences of ageing. The veteran actress presents a masterful performance as Elisabeth, a 50-year-old celebrity forced into starring in an aerobics show on the small screen. Forced aside by her deceitful superior Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she turns to a secretive and gruesome process titled "The Substance". This generates a youthful duplicate named Sue, resulting in a steadily more vampiric relationship among both women. This Friday, Paramount+


This Mystery Thriller

This suspenseful story features Knightley as Laura, an ace reporter who opts for some time off from reporting on international wars to board an opulent ship accompanied by an ailing Scandinavian billionaire and philanthropist, her partner, plus additional filthy rich guests. However when an enigmatic female disappears from the ship overnight and everyone insists she wasn't real, her journalistic curiosity take over. Streaming currently, Netflix


This Supernatural Story

Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities with this innovative ghostly tale captured wholly from the viewpoint of a ghost. When a household with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their recent residence, the camera – representing the ghost – tracks their movements. Chloe seems conscious of the poltergeist, and the entity appears guarding her. Yet what is the reason? This is an entertaining concept that remains concise, with a twist that could catch you off guard. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, the Sky channel


The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Cage fully commits to his unique fame via this autobiographical spoof. He plays an egotistical film star named Nicolas Cage who accepts a lucrative offer to attend a festive event on the Spanish island for the rich superfan Javi. Hired by the CIA to investigate the potential kingpin, his unconventional method is put to the test. October 11th, 9pm, Channel 4


This Creepy Thriller

Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective despite the lack of a follow-up. Located in 1970s Colorado, multiple child abductions has rendered the children frightened. After Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a basement, he dreads a terrible outcome. Yet the disconnected phone on the wall continues to ring, with spooky callers providing assistance, as the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. This Saturday, late evening, Film4


The Eyes of Tammy Faye

In the battle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for Mammon in Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation regarding the shamed TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor portrays the venal Jim, who states early on, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye commence profiting from the people's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of tacky decor, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, however Jessica Chastain succeeds to present Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, 1.15am, on Film4


The Spy Mystery

This period's additional entry from the filmmaker presents a espionage tale as precise as the polo necks sported by Fassbender's British agent. He is tasked with uncovering a double agent within their ranks from five suspects – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Both actors are masters of calm composure, resulting in an engaging mental battle of truth or lie unfolds. Additional actors take part the smart espionage amusement. This Friday, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema
