As a family with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the lens – AKA the Presence – follows them around.

This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's contained scarefest holds up well even without a continuation. Located in the late 70s in Denver, multiple kidnappings has rendered the local kids on edge.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. The actor acts as the corrupt Bakker, who states at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye commence monetising the American public's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, yet the lead actress achieves to show Tammy Faye in a likable light. October 14th, late night, on Film4
This Espionage Thriller
This period's additional entry from Steven Soderbergh is a spy mystery as tight similar to the collars sported by Michael Fassbender's intelligence officer. His assignment is to identify a double agent among the team from five suspects – one of whom is his own wife. Both actors are experts of calm composure, leading to a delightful mind game of truth or lie develops. Additional actors join in the intelligent intelligence fun.
