Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) continues her reign in psychological horror films with Last Night in Soho.
The mind-bending film follows Eloise, played by Thomasin McKenzie, an upcoming fashion designer who mysteriously travels to 1960s London. However, when Eloise travels to the past, she isn’t herself, she becomes Taylor-Joy’s Sandy, a beautiful singer. The mesmerizing neon lights quickly turn sinister when the past attempts to cross over.
The film was initially slated to release in 2020, but was delayed due to the pandemic. Golden Globe-winner Taylor-Joy is no stranger to psychological thrillers. She’s previously starred in Split, The Witch and Glass.
Last Night in Soho was directed by Edgar Wright (Baby Driver) and is set to release in October 2021.
