Review of Last Night in Soho (2021) by Sifteruk — 29 Oct 2021

Acting/Cast: Superb cast of actors. Surprised but happy to see Thomassin McKenzie as the lead and equally surprised to see Anta Taylor Joy screen time quite as low as it is. That's not a bad thing, but it was surprising. Was expecting Matt Smith character to be more charming and the fact he wasn't was also surprisingly good..

Music: wow. I mean you know it's Edgar Wrigjt and it's gonna be top notch. His choices are very good. Typically unexpected choices that capture the vibe without drawing on the obvious classics.

Plot: the first hour is tremendous but it loses its way when it turns more old school horror and away from the psychosis story that embraces the first half. If this had stuck to the psychosis and away from monsters then it could have been an 8 or 9. But it confuses by trying to add a bug ending that it doesn't quite stick. It's just not scary enough to pull it off whereas whereas strength of the actors could have made this pyscologically scary if the story had stuck to its original guns.

In summary: it's good but it's not great.
