The Black Phone
Scott Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong despite the lack of a continuation. Taking place in 1978 Denver, a series of child abductions has rendered the children anxious. After Finney is taken by the villain and held captive in a cellar, he anticipates a terrible outcome. But the non-functional line mounted nearby keeps ringing, with spooky callers giving advice, as the prophetic visions of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, late evening, the Film4 channel
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky biopic about the fallen religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Garfield plays the venal Jim, who proclaims initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence capitalizing on the people's Christian beliefs. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, bad makeup and insincerity, though the lead actress achieves to show the character as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, the Film4 channel
