Prime Television Choices: 7 Must-Watch Movies This Week

Pick of the Week

This Satirical Thriller

The filmmaker's bold commentary examines the tyranny of feminine aesthetics and the perceived horrors of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore offers an inspired acting turn as Elisabeth, a 50-year-old film star demoted to presenting a workout series on the small screen. Edged out thanks to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, she turns to a secretive and gruesome treatment called "The Substance". This creates a younger clone portrayed by Margaret Qualley, resulting in a progressively toxic connection between the two. This Friday, Paramount+

The Woman in Cabin 10

This suspenseful thriller includes Keira Knightley playing Laura, a skilled journalist who takes a break from writing about international wars to embark on a high-end voyage alongside a terminally ill Scandinavian billionaire and donor, her spouse, and other filthy rich individuals. However when an unknown lady disappears from the ship overnight and all passengers claims she was never there, the reporter's sleuthing skills awaken. Out now, Netflix

This Supernatural Story

Steven Soderbergh tests his directorial skills through this innovative supernatural story filmed completely through the eyes of a ghost. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their fresh home, the camera – AKA the Presence – shadows their actions. Chloe seems conscious of the supernatural presence, and the entity appears defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. October 11th, multiple showings, the Sky channel

Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy

Cage wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame through this meta comedy caper. He plays an egotistical celebrity playing himself who agrees to a lucrative offer to appear at a festive event in Mallorca for billionaire superfan Javi. Contacted by the CIA to gather intel on the potential kingpin, the actor's unconventional method proves useful. This Saturday, evening, Channel 4

This Creepy Thriller

The director's locked-room horror remains effective despite the lack of a continuation. Located in the late 70s in Denver, a series of disappearances has made the children frightened. When Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a cellar, he fears the worst. Yet the non-functional line on the wall repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices providing assistance, and the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen could save him. A genuinely scary movie. October 11th, 10.50pm, Film4

This Dramatic Portrait

In the conflict between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband. Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye set about capitalizing on the people's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, though the lead actress manages to present the character as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, early morning, on Film4

This Espionage Thriller

The current week's additional entry by the same director is a espionage tale as sharp like the turtlenecks sported by Fassbender's UK spy. He receives a mission to identify a double agent among the team from five suspects – including is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Each performer are experts of deadpan cool, resulting in an engaging psychological game of deception or honesty takes place. The supporting cast take part the clever spy entertainment. This Friday, various showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
