The Black Phone
Derrickson's contained scarefest holds up well even without a follow-up. Set in the late 70s in Denver, a series of disappearances has made the children anxious. Once Finney gets captured by the villain and imprisoned in a dungeon, he anticipates a terrible outcome. But the disconnected phone in the room continues to ring, with eerie communicators giving advice, and the prophetic visions from his sibling Gwen could save him. An effective horror.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for materialism in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic of the disgraced TV preacher and her felon spouse. Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about profiting from the people's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, bad makeup and bad faith, though Chastain achieves to present Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, on Film4
