This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director challenges his film-making abilities through this nifty supernatural story captured wholly from the viewpoint of a ghost. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their recent residence, the camera – as the unseen entity – follows them around.

After Finney is taken by the kidnapper and imprisoned in a cellar, he fears a terrible outcome. But the disconnected phone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with spooky callers providing assistance, and the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen could save him. A solid creepfest. October 11th, nighttime, on Film4

Garfield plays the venal Jim, who states initially, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple begin profiting from the nation's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and bad faith, yet Chastain manages to show Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, the Film4 channel
This Espionage Thriller
