Presence
Soderbergh pushes his directorial skills with this innovative ghostly tale captured wholly from the viewpoint of the phantom. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the camera – as the unseen entity – follows them around.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

The Black Phone
Derrickson's contained scarefest stands strong even without a follow-up. Set in 1970s Colorado, a series of disappearances has left the youth frightened. Once Finney is kidnapped by the kidnapper and locked up in a basement, he anticipates the worst. But the non-functional line mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators giving advice, as the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. A solid creepfest.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for Mammon in this director's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor acts as the greedy Jim, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin profiting from the people's religious faith. It's a riot of tacky decor, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, though Chastain succeeds to show Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, the Film4 channel
Black Bag
This period's additional entry from the filmmaker is a spy mystery as precise similar to the collars used by Michael Fassbender's British agent. His assignment is to identify a double agent inside the organization from five suspects – one of whom is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. The two stars are experts of deadpan cool, leading to a delightful psychological game of fact versus fiction develops. The supporting cast participate the intelligent intelligence fun.
