Presence
Soderbergh challenges his creative boundaries in this clever supernatural story captured wholly through the eyes of the spirit. As a family featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe moves into their fresh home, the filming device – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. The daughter appears aware of the supernatural presence, and the entity appears defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? It's a fun idea that remains concise, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. Saturday 11 October, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, the Sky channel

This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for materialism in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation about the fallen TV preacher and her criminal husband. The actor portrays the greedy Jim, who declares initially, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye commence profiting from the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, overdone appearance and insincerity, yet Chastain achieves to show Tammy Faye in a likable light. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, on Film4
The Spy Mystery
This period's another release from the filmmaker presents a spy mystery as sharp like the turtlenecks worn by the actor's British agent. He is tasked to discover a double agent inside the organization from a group of five – one of whom is his own wife. Both actors are masters of deadpan cool, leading to a delightful psychological game of truth or lie unfolds. Additional actors join in the smart espionage amusement.
