Steven Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries with this nifty paranormal narrative captured wholly from the perspective of the phantom.

Once Finney is kidnapped by the villain and imprisoned in a dungeon, he anticipates a terrible outcome. However, the non-functional line in the room continues to ring, with ghostly voices offering help, and the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen might rescue him. An effective horror.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield portrays the corrupt Bakker, who declares early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. He and Tammy Faye set about capitalizing on the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, bad makeup and insincerity, yet the lead actress manages to present the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, late night, on Film4
