Pick of the Week

The Substance Film

The filmmaker's bold critique tackles the tyranny of feminine aesthetics as well as the feared consequences of ageing. Hollywood star Demi Moore delivers a brilliant portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old actress reduced to hosting a workout series on TV. Edged out thanks to her deceitful superior Harvey, she seeks out an enigmatic and horrifying process called this experimental method. This generates a younger clone portrayed by Margaret Qualley, culminating in a progressively parasitic dynamic between them. This Friday, Paramount+

Yet once an unknown lady disappears from the ship during the evening and the entire crew insists she wasn't real, her journalistic curiosity take over. Available now, the Netflix platform

This Supernatural Story

Steven Soderbergh pushes his directorial skills in this innovative ghostly tale shot entirely through the eyes of the spirit. When a household featuring mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe settles into their fresh home, the lens – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements.

The Black Phone

Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong despite the lack of a continuation. Located in 1978 Denver, multiple child abductions has left the children frightened. When Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and held captive in a dungeon, he dreads the worst. But the disconnected phone on the wall repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices offering help, as the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror.

The Tammy Faye Biopic

In the battle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish true story about the fallen religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield acts as the corrupt Bakker, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence capitalizing on the nation's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, overdone appearance and bad faith, though the lead actress achieves to depict Tammy Faye in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, on Film4
