Presence
The acclaimed director pushes his film-making abilities through this clever supernatural story captured wholly from the viewpoint of a ghost. When a household featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the lens – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements.

After Finney is kidnapped by the villain and held captive in a dungeon, he anticipates a terrible outcome. However, the non-functional line in the room continues to ring, with eerie communicators providing assistance, while the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. A solid creepfest.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in this director's wonderfully garish biopic of the disgraced TV preacher and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who states initially, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple commence monetising the people's religious faith. It's a riot of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, though Chastain succeeds to present the character in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, Film4

Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela take part the clever spy entertainment. October 17th, multiple time slots, the Sky channel
