After Finney is taken by the villain and held captive in a dungeon, he dreads a terrible outcome. But the old telephone in the room continues to ring, with ghostly voices giving advice, while the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for materialism in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top true story of the disgraced televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who declares initially, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple set about monetising the nation's religious faith. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, though Chastain succeeds to depict Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, on Film4
