Presence Film
The acclaimed director pushes his film-making abilities with this clever paranormal narrative captured wholly from the viewpoint of the phantom. As a family including mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe moves into their fresh home, the filming device – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. Chloe seems aware of the supernatural presence, and it looks like guarding her. However, the motive remains? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema

This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for Mammon in this director's delightfully tacky film adaptation about the fallen televangelist and her felon spouse. The actor plays the corrupt Bakker, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin monetising the American public's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, though Jessica Chastain manages to present Tammy Faye in a likable light. October 14th, early morning, on Film4
This Espionage Thriller
This week's another release by the same director delivers a espionage tale as precise like the turtlenecks sported by Fassbender's British agent. He is tasked with uncovering a mole within their ranks from five suspects – one of whom is his spouse. The two stars are masters of understated style, resulting in an engaging mind game of deception or honesty unfolds. Additional actors participate the clever spy entertainment.
