This Supernatural Story
Steven Soderbergh challenges his directorial skills with this clever ghostly tale filmed completely from the perspective of the spirit. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe settles into their fresh home, the camera – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements. The teen shows signs of conscious of the ghostly being, and it looks like guarding her. However, the motive remains? This is an entertaining concept that avoids overstaying, including a revelation that may be unexpected. This Saturday, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema

This Creepy Thriller
The director's locked-room horror holds up well even without a sequel. Set in 1978 Denver, a series of child abductions has left the local kids anxious. Once Finney is taken by the villain and held captive in a dungeon, he fears the worst. But the non-functional line on the wall repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators offering help, while the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen could save him. An effective horror. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, Film4
This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for greed in this director's delightfully tacky true story of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who declares initially, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple commence profiting from the American public's religious faith. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, bad makeup and insincerity, yet Chastain succeeds to depict the real-life figure in a likable light. October 14th, late night, on Film4
