This Creepy Thriller
The director's contained scarefest remains effective even without a continuation. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, a series of child abductions has left the children anxious. When Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and locked up in a cellar, he anticipates a terrible outcome. However, the disconnected phone in the room repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices giving advice, while the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen could save him. A genuinely scary movie. October 11th, nighttime, Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for greed in this director's wonderfully garish biopic about the fallen televangelist and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who proclaims early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin capitalizing on the nation's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, however the lead actress succeeds to show the character in a likable light. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
