The Black Phone
The director's contained scarefest remains effective despite the lack of a follow-up. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, a series of disappearances has left the youth anxious. After Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and locked up in a cellar, he dreads the worst. But the old telephone mounted nearby keeps ringing, with spooky callers giving advice, and the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A solid creepfest.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for greed in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation about the fallen religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Garfield portrays the corrupt Bakker, who states at the beginning, claiming divine approval for wealth. Both individuals commence profiting from the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, yet Chastain achieves to depict the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, late night, on Film4
