This Supernatural Story

This Creepy Thriller
The director's contained scarefest stands strong despite the lack of a sequel. Set in the late 70s in Denver, a series of disappearances has left the local kids anxious. When Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and held captive in a cellar, he anticipates the worst. But the non-functional line mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices giving advice, while the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for greed in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic regarding the shamed religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor acts as the greedy Jim, who proclaims early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. Both individuals set about capitalizing on the nation's spiritual convictions.
