After Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and held captive in a basement, he anticipates a terrible outcome. But the non-functional line on the wall repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices providing assistance, as the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. A genuinely scary movie.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for Mammon in this director's delightfully tacky true story of the disgraced televangelist and her criminal husband. Garfield acts as the corrupt Bakker, who states early on, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple commence capitalizing on the nation's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, however Jessica Chastain succeeds to depict Tammy Faye with compassion. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
