The Black Phone
Derrickson's locked-room horror holds up well without requiring a follow-up. Located in the late 70s in Denver, several child abductions has rendered the children frightened. Once Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and locked up in a basement, he fears the worst.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence capitalizing on the people's religious faith. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, though Jessica Chastain manages to show the character in a likable light. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, the Film4 channel
