Soderbergh challenges his directorial skills in this nifty supernatural story captured wholly from the perspective of a ghost. When a household featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the filming device – representing the ghost – shadows their actions.

The Black Phone
Scott Derrickson's locked-room horror holds up well despite the lack of a sequel. Set in 1970s Colorado, a series of child abductions has rendered the children frightened. After Finney gets captured by the villain and held captive in a basement, he fears a terrible outcome. However, the old telephone on the wall repeatedly calls, with spooky callers providing assistance, and the prescient dreams from his sibling Gwen could save him. A solid creepfest. October 11th, late evening, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for greed in Michael Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence profiting from the American public's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of tacky decor, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however Jessica Chastain achieves to present the character as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, late night, the Film4 channel
