But the non-functional line on the wall keeps ringing, with ghostly voices providing assistance, as the prophetic visions from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. A genuinely scary movie.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for greed in Showalter's wonderfully garish biopic about the fallen religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. The actor portrays the corrupt Bakker, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye set about capitalizing on the American public's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however Chastain manages to depict the character as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, early morning, the Film4 channel
