After Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a cellar, he dreads a terrible outcome. But the disconnected phone in the room keeps ringing, with ghostly voices offering help, while the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. A solid creepfest.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky true story regarding the shamed TV preacher and her felon spouse. The actor portrays the venal Jim, who states initially, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple set about profiting from the people's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, though Jessica Chastain succeeds to depict the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, on Film4
