Review of Last Night in Soho

I love the premise for Last Night in Soho. Edgar Wright creates an original plot and setting by connecting the glamor of the 1960s to modern day through a murder mystery and ghost tale. The movie does a wonderful job at bringing the 1960s alive and peaking the viewer's interest in the mystery. Anya Taylor-Joy steals the show as Sandie, and is accompanied by an amazing soundtrack. Unfortunately, there were enough faults with the movie to prevent it from reaching the level of quality in Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead or Anya Taylor-Joy's The Witch. The biggest problem is that the movie feels redundant towards the end, as the suspense and revelations of the past never reach a terrifying level. Another fault is that the climax of the film fails to reach its full potential due to poor character decisions and underutilized supernatural elements. But on the whole, Last Night in Soho is still an enjoyable film worth watching. 6/10
