The Black Phone Horror
Derrickson's locked-room horror holds up well even without a continuation. Located in 1978 Denver, a series of disappearances has left the children anxious. Once Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and imprisoned in a cellar, he anticipates the worst. But the old telephone on the wall continues to ring, with ghostly voices offering help, as the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. October 11th, nighttime, on Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for Mammon in Showalter's wonderfully garish true story of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. The actor acts as the venal Jim, who states at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals commence monetising the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however the lead actress succeeds to depict Tammy Faye with compassion. Next Tuesday, early morning, on Film4
