Scott Derrickson's locked-room horror holds up well despite the lack of a continuation. Taking place in 1978 Denver, a series of kidnappings has rendered the children on edge.

However, the non-functional line on the wall repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices giving advice, while the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for Mammon in this director's brilliantly over-the-top true story about the fallen religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. The actor acts as the corrupt Bakker, who states early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. The couple begin monetising the people's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, yet Chastain achieves to depict the character with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, on Film4
