Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy

This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong even without a sequel. Taking place in the late 70s in Denver, multiple disappearances has rendered the youth frightened. Once Finney is taken by the villain and locked up in a basement, he fears the worst.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for Mammon in this director's wonderfully garish film adaptation of the disgraced televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor plays the greedy Jim, who proclaims initially, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple begin monetising the American public's religious faith. It's a riot of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, however Chastain achieves to depict the character as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, the Film4 channel
