Demi Moore delivers an inspired acting turn in the role of Elisabeth, an aging actress forced into hosting a fitness program on the small screen.

This Supernatural Story

Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Nicolas Cage wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame in this autobiographical spoof. He acts as an egotistical film star playing himself who accepts a million-dollar gig to attend a festive event on the Spanish island for the wealthy Javi Gutierrez. Hired by the CIA to gather intel on the alleged criminal, the actor's unique performing skills proves useful. Saturday 11 October, 9pm, on Channel 4
The Black Phone
The director's contained scarefest stands strong despite the lack of a continuation. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, a series of child abductions has made the children frightened. When Finney is taken by the villain and held captive in a dungeon, he anticipates the worst. Yet the disconnected phone mounted nearby keeps ringing, with spooky callers providing assistance, while the prescient dreams from his sibling Gwen could save him. An effective horror.
