Yet once a mysterious woman disappears from the ship overnight and all passengers denies she ever existed, her journalistic curiosity kick in. Available now, the Netflix platform


This Supernatural Story

The acclaimed director tests his directorial skills with this innovative ghostly tale captured wholly from the perspective of the phantom. As a family including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their fresh home, the lens – representing the ghost – follows them around. Chloe seems sensing the ghostly being, and it seems guarding her. Yet what is the reason? It's a fun idea that doesn't outstay its welcome, including a revelation you might not see coming. This Saturday, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema


Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy

Cage wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image in this self-referential adventure. He plays a self-obsessed celebrity called Nicolas Cage who agrees to a million-dollar gig to attend a birthday party in Mallorca for billionaire Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Hired by the CIA to investigate the alleged criminal, the actor's unique performing skills proves useful. This Saturday, evening, the Channel 4 network


This Creepy Thriller

The director's locked-room horror stands strong even without a continuation. Set in 1978 Denver, several kidnappings has rendered the local kids on edge. After Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and locked up in a dungeon, he anticipates the worst. Yet the non-functional line in the room repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators giving advice, as the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen might rescue him. A genuinely scary movie. October 11th, 10.50pm, the Film4 channel


The Tammy Faye Biopic

In the battle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for greed in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish true story of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield portrays the corrupt Bakker, who states at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple commence monetising the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, yet Jessica Chastain manages to show Tammy Faye with compassion. Next Tuesday, early morning, Film4


The Spy Mystery

The current week's another release from the filmmaker is a espionage tale as tight similar to the collars worn by the actor's British agent. He receives a mission to discover a traitor among the team out of five possibilities – including is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. The two stars excel of deadpan cool, resulting in an engaging mind game of truth or lie unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela take part the clever spy entertainment.
