Once Finney is kidnapped by the kidnapper and held captive in a cellar, he fears a terrible outcome. Yet the non-functional line in the room keeps ringing, with spooky callers giving advice, as the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top true story regarding the shamed televangelist and her felon spouse. Garfield acts as the corrupt Bakker, who states early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. Both individuals commence capitalizing on the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, though Chastain succeeds to depict the character with compassion. Next Tuesday, late night, on Film4
