The acclaimed director tests his directorial skills through this innovative paranormal narrative captured wholly from the perspective of the spirit. As a family featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the lens – AKA the Presence – follows them around.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
The iconic actor fully commits to his eccentric image through this self-referential adventure.

This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's contained scarefest remains effective despite the lack of a follow-up. Set in 1978 Denver, multiple disappearances has rendered the youth anxious. When Finney gets captured by the villain and held captive in a basement, he anticipates a fatal end. However, the non-functional line on the wall repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices providing assistance, and the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister could save him. A genuinely scary movie. October 11th, late evening, Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for greed in Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye commence profiting from the American public's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, bad makeup and bad faith, yet Chastain succeeds to present the character as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, Film4
