This Supernatural Story
Steven Soderbergh challenges his film-making abilities through this clever supernatural story captured wholly from the perspective of the spirit. When a household including mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe settles into their fresh home, the lens – as the unseen entity – follows them around.

The Black Phone
The director's locked-room horror holds up well even without a continuation. Taking place in 1978 Denver, a series of kidnappings has left the children on edge. After Finney is taken by the kidnapper and locked up in a basement, he fears a terrible outcome. But the old telephone on the wall repeatedly calls, with spooky callers offering help, and the prescient dreams from his sibling Gwen may be his salvation. A solid creepfest.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for greed in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband. The actor plays the venal Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye begin monetising the nation's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, however Chastain succeeds to depict the character with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, late night, the Film4 channel
Black Bag
The current week's additional entry from the filmmaker is a espionage tale as sharp similar to the collars worn by the actor's intelligence officer. He receives a mission to identify a double agent within their ranks from a group of five – one of whom is his spouse. The two stars excel of calm composure, resulting in an engaging psychological game of truth or lie develops. Additional actors join in the intelligent intelligence fun.
