Last Night in Soho

 

                            So just when I recommended a great Horror movie to watch last month and thought I don't know if I can do any better, but along comes another great suspenseful scary type of a film and unfortunately I only saw the film in November so this is the best I can do. Last Night in Soho is a Psychological Horror story of "be careful what you which for". Or in a more reasonable, it’s more of a story of wanting to relive something that was so glamourous but had a much darker side to the life and glamour of the sixty’s era. I wasn't sure on what to think of it, when I watched the first teaser trailer for the first time. Though in all honesty, when I watched the trailer, maybe so many times that I lost count in, I had to admit I couldn't get enough of Anya Taylor-Joy in that pink dress she was wearing, now I know that sounds creepy but that's not the only thing that caught my attention. Okay serious note, I have to say that this was one of the most creative psychological horror films ever made, now I'm going to try and not say so much so let’s get on with the review.

                            An aspiring fashion designer (Thomasin McKenzie) is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s, where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer (Anya Taylor-Joy). However, the glamour is not all it appears to be, and the dreams of the past start to crack and splinter into something far darker.

                            A side from the stunning beauty of Anya Taylor-Joy, this was one of these movies I wasn't sure of, but I just can't get enough of watching the trailer for which has so much stunning beauty, amazing direction and scenery you just cannot stop looking at it, I mean you could almost ask director Edgar Wright if his Titanic made ship is safe to travel on and he shouts "IT'S UNSINKABLE", and you in a confused state can just say "alright cool, I'll take your word". As a film alone this is one of the most visually stunning horror film ever made, it just felt like you were taking some kind of acid trip but in the most scariest way possible, and I honestly thought that I had this movie put together until I witnessed the surprisingly good twist that even I wasn't expecting and I honestly felt like James Bond in Casino Royale and Edgar Wright was Le Chiffre and he pulled out his final card and telling me how bad I sucked at life. Both Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy give great performances and do such a great job in taking you on this journey of great wonder but pure madness along the way. I do love the fact that both Matt Smith aka Doctor Who and Terrance Stamp though I must say, the two of them do great work as playing the mysterious furthermore antagonists of the film. Anyway, I don't want to give so much detail away but if you’re interested in something new and different moreover getting tired of the remakes and superhero genre than I would highly recommend watching Last Night in Soho because this I would say a movie only the late Alfred Hitchcock would be proud of.
