- jackmeatAugust 17, 2025My quick rating - 7.5/10. This movie just looks amazing so far, for technical merits. Once the movie ended, that amazing feeling didn't leave. As far as horror goes, this one is up with the best of the year for sure. Thomasin McKenzie plays Eloise, a small-town girl heading to the big city to be a fashion designer. After she is not very impressed with her dorm mates, she finds her own place, and this is where her story and that of an aspiring singer played by Anya Taylor-Joy become intertwined. Seems for some reason, when she sleeps, she is thrust into the singer's life through her dream world. This flick is much more of a throwback type of psychological horror flick than we are used to presently, and that is a very good thing. There is an incredible amount of attention paid to detail in keeping the real world and dream states organized and entertaining as you start to piece together what is connecting the two. The movie starts off completely throwing you off to what to expect and moves slowly, developing the story and a wonderful cast along the way. But it never feels slow, as you are more drawn into Eloise's situation and putting it together. Director Edgar Wright knew exactly what he was doing with the pacing, and though for horror fans this may be too slow, this was completely on purpose to draw you in slowly while the entire menacing truth of what is going on builds. Absolutely impeccable flick in all aesthetics, and is only held slightly back by not going full horror when it could have easily done so. This may bother some, but I personally had no qualms with that choice. If you like the movie or not, you will be hard-pressed to deny just how incredibly well-made it is. I expect Oscar mentions when it comes time.

- Nishant AroraJune 17, 2025A neon-drenched fever dream, *Last Night in Soho* is a mesmerizing and cautionary tale about the dangers of romanticizing the past. Director Edgar Wright masterfully contrasts the dazzling allure of 1960s London with a dark, psychological horror story. The Good: The film is a technical and stylistic marvel. Wright’s signature energetic editing and meticulous sound design create a truly immersive experience. The seamless choreography that blends Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy through mirrors and dreamscapes is breathtaking. The film's warning against toxic nostalgia is a potent and relevant theme, gorgeously wrapped in the glamour and grime of the Swinging Sixties. The Bad: While the first half is a stunning setup, the narrative stumbles in its final act. The shift from psychological thriller to a more conventional slasher-horror feels jarring and undermines some of its thematic depth. The plot's much-discussed twist can feel predictable, and the ghostly apparitions, while initially creepy, become repetitive and less effective as the film barrels toward its somewhat muddled conclusion. A visually stunning but thematically conflicted film, *Last Night in Soho* is an intoxicating experience that dazzles more than it completely satisfies.
