Last Night in Soho - Blu-ray + DVD + Digital

I wasn't sure I'd finish watching about halfway through. It just wasn't catching my interest and I was getting ticked off at the "mean girls". I thought I knew what was going on but then it got moving and with some twists I was left enjoying an imaginative and unique movie.

This movie gave me chills but in that excitement of the reason we watch movies. Another killer performance from Anya Taylor Joy. The visuals in the movies blow your mind while being dark creepy but also bold with color in some scenes. It was so good & so much fun of an experience I bought the blu ray the next day. A must see for the movie fanatics

I love the movie! It is a great introduction to "horror" (not really a horror until the very end) for people who want to get into the horror genre slowly. I ordered my copy and the disc came in scratched and the case was broken (I don't care about a broken case but the scratched disc is unacceptable). Thankfully my replacement came in perfect condition!

This movie is very interesting. It has so many layers and can be interpreted different different ways to me, I felt the ending was a bit ambiguous, but I think that was the point of it really shows too much fame can do to a person so quickly and that jealousy is bad

I liked this movie however it is very slow...sad, and the twist ending was ehh.The underlying message is centered around feminism. Big shocker there. Everything now has to be riddled with left wing undertones. I was able to move past it with this one as it wasn't overtly obnoxious and I truly love watching Anya Taylor-Joy, she is so talented. All the people in this movie did a great job, their acting skills are really amazing, but I just wasn't thrilled with the pace, the undertones, and the way the film wrapped up.Spoilers:At the ending when we figure out the killer is Sandy...the main character Eloise is so blinded by her adoration towards Sandy that she completely absolves her of the horrific crimes that took place in her bedroom, that now houses the remains of multiple men stuffed into the floor boards and walls. In my eyes only one of those men truly deserved what happened to him (Jack) as he forced Sandy into prostitution and was attempting to kill her. Self defense is justified, however when she continued to "prostitute" aka luring men back to her apartment under the guise of prostitution as a means to kill more men is not justified or worthy of absolution when she had every opportunity to move on with her life. To be honest I think Sandy had plenty of opportunity to escape the life before things got out of hand....why participate in a burlesque show when she thought she was going to be the "star"? Right there she should have left, but instead she was so focused on stardom that she allowed herself to be used in a degrading way just at the thought of getting what she wanted. There is just zero accountability to the actions and steps taken that moved her closer to a lifestyle that she never wanted, and instead of figuring out how to get away and start over she goes completely insane and went on a killing rampage. Don't get me wrong I have my own feeling on men that use prostitution to get their rocks off and none of them are good, but to kill them after she herself offered a "service"...um no mam' they aren't forcing anything, you are inviting them in, and they didn't deserve to die because other men took advantage in the past....The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth when Eloise hugged Sandy at the end and said the male victims did deserve what was done to them and that Eloise understood...I could be taking the message wrong, but I don't believe I am. Killing as a form of revenge for someone else's wrong doings doesn't seem like justice to me, and to teach or send a message that killing is ok when its applied to men "because they are pigs" just adds fuel to the "all feminist hate men" idea, and with films like this it just seems to be more and more true. All men get painted with the same brush "abusers/oppressors" and women are endless "victims" who lose their sense of self or their spiritual self dies due to the cruelty of men. Lame. I'm tired of this narrative.

I had no real idea of what to expect, but being a fan of Anya Taylor Joy and watching her masterfully sing "Downtown" a song I hated until she performed it with a live orchestra in a sound studio for the movie with a sultry new sound gives me goosebumps. Who knew Anya can sing so beautifully too! She's a true powerhouse of brilliant young actress, beautiful beyond words, and now a singer? I didn't even realize she's English until I saw an interview with her.The movie starts off with a dream, that where a young girl with extreme talent as a fashion designer in the making, gets accepted to a major college for fashion design in London in modern day. She's a troubled young woman due to missing her Mother who died when she was young. The movie goes into a dreamlike world where two realities cross over and things get sad, then weird, then scary and then the plot twists near the end. A brilliant fantasy and ghost story with an original idea wonderfully acted with veteran actors helping to move the movie along. A must watch!!!

This movie blew me away. I have been a fan of Edgar Wright's since I watched Hot Fuzz 5 or 6 years ago and have since then watched Baby Driver, Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, and both seasons of Spaced. Suffice it to say, I love Edgar Wright's work. When I saw the trailers for this, I was intrigued, and wanted to see it but being a student without a regular job, I did not end up seeing it in theaters.Then one night I saw it was available to rent on Amazon, and figured "oh! I should check this out." I went in blind. I had read no reviews or anything. Let me tell you, this movie is great. As someone who often gets queezy and scared watching horror stuff, this was fantastic. It was gruesome and scary enough that the scenes carried a sense of dread and weight, but I would say it is only as gruesome as the most gruesome scenes in Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. Without giving anything away about the story, it is moving and well worth the watch. After watching this movie, I have shown it and recommended it to all my friends. 5 stars. I cannot wait for Wright's next outing.

Ohne den Mystery-Anteil würde die Story nicht funktionieren. Aber wenn man sich darauf einläßt, etwartet einen - wie seinerzeit mit Kenneth Branaghs und Emma Thompsons "Schatten der Vergangenheit" - ein großartig besetzter, stimmungsvoller Thriller um ein vor Jahrzehnten begangenes Verbrechen. Zuschauererwartungen werden hervorragend aufgebaut und ebenso geschickt unterlaufen. Wir haben den Film ohne großes Vorwissen und ohne große Erwartungen eingeworfen und wurden in jeder Hinsicht auf das schönste überrascht.

Une réussite, un grand plaisir de voire Diana Rigg

This movie is the first movie in a long time that I found captivating and actually stuck with me for a few days after watching. Nicely stylised the visuals and the sound is absolutely stunning. The cast were incredible in what turned out to be legendary actress, Diana Rigg's last movie. Thomasin Mckenzie is an absolute standout for such a young actress and Anya Taylor-Joy is solid as always. A great soundtrack rounds out this film by director Edgar Wright, who is also known for the film Baby Driver. Definitely worth the purchase.

Desde que la vi en el cine por primera vez no tuve duda que Last Night in Soho sería mi película favorita del año. Hace mucho que no me emocionaba tanto con una película que te mantuviera al borde del asiento, un poco asustado sin saber lo que va a pasar, pero disfrutándola al cien por ciento.Con una dirección impecable de Edgar Wright (quien también dirigió mi película favorita de todos los tiempos, Shaun of the Dead), Last Night in Soho nos lleva a un viaje a los 60’s acompañado de excelente cinematografía, un uso ingenioso de cámara y colores (esas tomas de espejo o con Thomasin y Anya en la misma escena son magníficas), vestuario impecable, ambientación súper fiel a los años 60’s, una historia llena de giros inesperados y sobre todo la gran mancuerna que logran Thomasin McKenzie y Anya-Taylor Joy.Sin duda veo a esta película convirtiéndose en un clásico en los próximos años, pues no sólo se trata de terror, si no que la historia tiene una gran profundidad sobre lo que tienes que pasar para lograr tus sueños que muchas veces se encuentran idealizados, y tener en mente que hay riesgos que tomar para lograrlos, pero Last Night in Soho se atreve preguntar: ¿qué estarías dispuesto a hacer para alcanzarlos?Sin duda estaba muy emocionado de por fin agregar esta película a mi colección y ahora que la tengo sin duda vale la pena, pues también los bonus (los cuales ya veo muy raramente con otras películas), te muestran mucho del making-of y todo el proceso de grabaciones de la película.Si no la han visto y son fans del suspenso/terror lleno de estilo y una historia original e impactante esta es su tipo de película.
