Earlier today, I watched Edgar Wright's supernatural thriller Last Night in Soho at the local AMC theater, and needless to say, it was another well-made film by the director of the exciting 2017 flick, Baby Driver!
Thomasin McKenzie did a great job playing Eloise...an aspiring fashion designer who also had the ability to see dead people. Ironically, McKenzie was born in 2000—one year after Haley Joel Osment saw dead people on the big screen as well in M. Night Shyamalan's 1999 hit film, The Sixth Sense.
Speaking of M. Night Shyamalan, one of the cast members in his movies, Anya Taylor-Joy (who appeared in Shyamalan's two thrillers Split and Glass, respectively) was amazing in Last Night as Sandie...a young singer who would sadly get involved with the wrong crowd (starting with a man named Jack, aptly played by former Dr. Who alum Matt Smith) in her quest to further her career.
Not to be overlooked in this exciting horror drama were talented thespians like Diana Rigg, Aimee Cassettari, Synnøve Karlsen, Michael Ajao and the venerable Terence Stamp—whose character was involved in one of Last Night in Soho's best plot twists.
Last Night in Soho had two great twists at the end; I was able to figure out one of them beforehand!
Can't wait to see what Edgar Wright has in store for the cinema next... Baby Driver 2 would be awesome. Have a safe and happy Halloween, everyone!
