Presence Film
Soderbergh challenges his directorial skills through this innovative paranormal narrative captured wholly from the perspective of the spirit. When a household with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the filming device – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements. The daughter appears sensing the supernatural presence, and the entity appears guarding her. However, the motive remains? This is an entertaining concept that remains concise, with a twist that may be unexpected. Saturday 11 October, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, the Sky channel
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Cage wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image through this self-referential adventure. He acts as a self-obsessed Hollywood actor playing himself who agrees to a $1m payday to appear at a celebration at a Mediterranean location for the wealthy Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Recruited by the CIA to spy on the suspected cartel boss, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. October 11th, 9pm, the Channel 4 network

Derrickson's locked-room horror remains effective despite the lack of a continuation. Taking place in the late 70s in Denver, a series of child abductions has rendered the youth on edge. After Finney gets captured by the villain and held captive in a cellar, he anticipates a terrible outcome. Yet the non-functional line on the wall continues to ring, with eerie communicators providing assistance, and the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for materialism in Showalter's delightfully tacky true story of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. The actor plays the corrupt Bakker, who declares initially, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple commence profiting from the nation's religious faith. It's a spectacle of poor styling, bad makeup and bad faith, yet the lead actress manages to show the real-life figure with compassion. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
