This Supernatural Story

This Creepy Thriller
Scott Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller stands strong despite the lack of a continuation. Set in 1970s Colorado, a series of kidnappings has left the youth frightened. Once Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and held captive in a dungeon, he anticipates the worst.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for greed in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky true story about the fallen televangelist and her criminal husband. Garfield portrays the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin profiting from the people's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, though the lead actress succeeds to present Tammy Faye in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, on Film4
This Espionage Thriller
This week's another release from Steven Soderbergh presents a espionage tale as tight similar to the collars sported by Michael Fassbender's UK spy. He is tasked to identify a mole inside the organization out of five possibilities – one of whom is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. The two stars are masters of calm composure, so a delicious mind game of truth or lie unfolds. Additional actors participate the smart espionage amusement.
