This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director tests his directorial skills in this clever paranormal narrative shot entirely from the perspective of a ghost. As a family featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe moves into their recent residence, the filming device – representing the ghost – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of aware of the ghostly being, and it seems protective of her. But why? This is an entertaining concept that remains concise, with a twist that could catch you off guard.

This Self-Referential Film
The iconic actor embraces his cult stardom in this autobiographical spoof.

Contacted by the intelligence agency to spy on the suspected cartel boss, his “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. This Saturday, evening, Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
Scott Derrickson's contained scarefest stands strong despite the lack of a continuation. Taking place in 1978 Denver, multiple kidnappings has left the youth frightened. When Finney gets captured by the villain and locked up in a cellar, he dreads a fatal end. However, the disconnected phone on the wall keeps ringing, with spooky callers offering help, and the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen might rescue him. A solid creepfest.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky biopic of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Garfield plays the venal Jim, who states at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals commence monetising the American public's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and bad faith, however Chastain succeeds to depict Tammy Faye with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, on Film4
