After Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and held captive in a dungeon, he anticipates a fatal end. But the non-functional line on the wall continues to ring, with ghostly voices giving advice, as the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen might rescue him. A solid creepfest.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky biopic of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin profiting from the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of poor styling, bad makeup and insincerity, though Chastain succeeds to show Tammy Faye with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, Film4
