After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe occupies their recent residence, the lens – AKA the Presence – follows them around.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
The iconic actor fully commits to his eccentric image in this meta comedy caper.

Hired by the intelligence agency to spy on the alleged criminal, his unconventional method is put to the test. This Saturday, prime time, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller stands strong without requiring a sequel. Taking place in 1978 Denver, a series of disappearances has made the children anxious. After Finney is taken by the villain and imprisoned in a cellar, he anticipates a fatal end. But the old telephone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators giving advice, as the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. This Saturday, 10.50pm, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for materialism in this director's wonderfully garish film adaptation regarding the shamed TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield plays the greedy Jim, who proclaims initially, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye commence monetising the people's religious faith. It's a riot of bad interior design, bad makeup and insincerity, however Jessica Chastain succeeds to depict Tammy Faye with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, the Film4 channel
The Spy Mystery
This period's second offering from the filmmaker is a spy mystery as tight similar to the collars used by Michael Fassbender's intelligence officer. His assignment is to identify a double agent among the team from five suspects – among them is his spouse. Both actors are masters of understated style, resulting in an engaging psychological game of fact versus fiction unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the intelligent intelligence fun. October 17th, multiple time slots, the Sky channel
