This Supernatural Story
Steven Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries in this nifty ghostly tale captured wholly from the viewpoint of the phantom. When a household including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the lens – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions.

When Finney is taken by the villain and held captive in a cellar, he dreads a terrible outcome. However, the non-functional line mounted nearby continues to ring, with ghostly voices providing assistance, while the prophetic visions of Gwen, his sister could save him. An effective horror.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for greed in this director's delightfully tacky film adaptation of the disgraced TV preacher and her criminal husband. Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who states initially, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple begin profiting from the American public's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, overdone appearance and insincerity, yet Chastain succeeds to show the character in a likable light. October 14th, late night, on Film4
Black Bag
This period's second offering from Steven Soderbergh presents a espionage tale as tight similar to the collars used by Fassbender's UK spy.
