The Black Phone
Scott Derrickson's locked-room horror remains effective despite the lack of a continuation. Taking place in the late 70s in Denver, a series of kidnappings has made the children on edge.

Yet the old telephone on the wall keeps ringing, with ghostly voices giving advice, as the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for greed in Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation of the disgraced TV preacher and her criminal husband. The actor portrays the greedy Jim, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin capitalizing on the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, yet Jessica Chastain manages to depict the character with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, Film4
