It appears that 'Last Night in Soho' is too far out of Edgar Wright's comfort zone. I really quite enjoyed the story up until [spoiler]the stabbing[/spoiler] and, while I thought the entire movie was shot and edited really well and was fun to watch, the horror elements really felt like they were straight out of an episode of 'Doctor Who'...

This is another movie that appears to romanticise mental illness to the point where it can be used as a "super power", and it caused me some confusion in terms of narrative, in how the supernatural elements seem to be [spoiler]confirmed as really happening but that she's still unwell. So which is it? Is the dark energy of the home manifesting itself and reaching out to her or is she really just seeing things caused by some super sharp intuition, why do the male spirits follow her outside of the boundaries of supernatural logic (because she's actually really hallucinating?), why does she see her mother (is her energy following her or is it part of the inherited mental illness which was explained as causing her mother's death), why does she continue to see the other young woman at the end if it's only supernatural. It's disappointing that she never sought help for her mental state by the end.[/spoiler] It's all very inconsistent and left too unexplained for my liking. I also would have liked to see ANY [spoiler]"ghosts" of the women forced into sex work who were killed during those times (the older cop mentions that it makes sense the main character's mother is dead, implying that it was "normal" for women to be killed there too, so why not also show them as her "visions"?)[/spoiler]

Anyway, 'Last Night in Soho' is fine. It doesn't push any boundaries and is probably the most underwhelming Edgar Wright film yet. If you want some recommendations of horror films that pretend to romanticise mental illness but then remind you that no, it's a terrible thing to have that can so easily destroy you, then check out 'Saint Maude' and 'Censor'.
