But the disconnected phone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices providing assistance, and the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for materialism in this director's wonderfully garish film adaptation about the fallen televangelist and her criminal husband.

It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, bad makeup and bad faith, yet the lead actress achieves to show Tammy Faye in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, Film4
