Last Night in Soho (2021)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: col/2.39:1 116m
Director: Edgar Wright
Cast: Thomasin McKenzie, Anya Taylor-Joy, Matt Smith, Diana Rigg, Terence Stamp, Rita Tushingham

Synopsis:

A fashion student with second sight moves into a bedsit in Soho, where she is haunted by a looking-glass world of the 1960s in which an aspiring young singer is sexually exploited and murdered.

Review:

The hoary old fable of the child who sees a murder but nobody will believe him is here repackaged with Sixties nostalgia (encompassing one or two cast members) and lashings of clichés from the horror, ghost and slasher genres. Leading his audience by the nose before beating it about the head with shock sound effects, gut-wrenching edits and generalised hyperbole, the talented Mr Wright forgets that without Mr Pegg to lighten his touch his patchwork pastiche must fall flat on its haute-couture, pop-cultured fanny.
