The premise is enjoyable that doesn't outstay its welcome, with a twist you might not see coming. October 11th, multiple showings, Sky Cinema

The Black Phone
Derrickson's contained scarefest remains effective despite the lack of a follow-up. Set in 1978 Denver, a series of kidnappings has made the local kids on edge. After Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and imprisoned in a dungeon, he anticipates a fatal end. However, the old telephone on the wall continues to ring, with spooky callers providing assistance, and the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for Mammon in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky true story regarding the shamed televangelist and her felon spouse. The actor plays the corrupt Bakker, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple set about capitalizing on the people's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however the lead actress achieves to show the real-life figure with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, Film4
