Presence
Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries with this clever paranormal narrative shot entirely through the eyes of a ghost.

Contacted by the intelligence agency to investigate the alleged criminal, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. This Saturday, evening, on Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller

This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for Mammon in this director's delightfully tacky true story of the disgraced TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor plays the venal Jim, who proclaims early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. The couple set about capitalizing on the nation's religious faith. It's a spectacle of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, yet Chastain succeeds to show the character as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, the Film4 channel
This Espionage Thriller
