The Black Phone
Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong without requiring a sequel. Set in 1970s Colorado, a series of child abductions has rendered the children on edge. Once Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and locked up in a dungeon, he anticipates a fatal end. However, the disconnected phone in the room continues to ring, with eerie communicators providing assistance, as the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. A solid creepfest.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for Mammon in Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation of the disgraced TV preacher and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who states early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. The couple begin monetising the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, bad makeup and bad faith, however Jessica Chastain achieves to depict the real-life figure in a likable light. October 14th, 1.15am, the Film4 channel
