The Black Phone Horror
Scott Derrickson's locked-room horror holds up well without requiring a follow-up. Located in 1970s Colorado, a series of disappearances has made the children frightened. After Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and locked up in a dungeon, he fears a fatal end. But the non-functional line in the room keeps ringing, with ghostly voices providing assistance, as the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen could save him. An effective horror.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for Mammon in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic regarding the shamed religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who states initially, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals set about monetising the American public's Christian beliefs. It's a spectacle of poor styling, overdone appearance and insincerity, though Jessica Chastain achieves to present the character as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, late night, Film4
