‘Last Night in Soho’ Review: One of Us
Edgar Wright’s psychological thriller Last Night in Soho hits theaters this weekend – the One Of Us crew got an early look.
Director/writer Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) returns with a different type of film from what he’s known for: a downright serious horror film. Thomasin McKenzie plays Ellie, a fresh-faced and excited young lady just starting at a prestigious fashion college in London.
After some unpleasantness from cliquey dorm students, she finds off-campus housing and all seems wonderful as she starts having luxurious dreams at night where she’s in the body of a promising ingenue singer in the 60s named Sandy (Anya Taylor-Joy).
All the 60’s fashion and music inspires her, she starts making her teachers happy with her designs, and who cares what the cliquey girls think? But then, the dreams start to turn into nightmares as Sandy’s life becomes hellish and Ellie starts to realize that it may not be just dreams she’s experiencing but the actual past, and it starts to penetrate horrifyingly into her waking life.
Chris, Frank, Alan, and Wright had nothing but glowing praise for this new chapter in Edgar Wright’s career. Listen to them marvel.
