Last Night in Soho was a much needed jump start to my creative juices after many months of watching the predictable. Each unexpected twist had me scooting a little closer to the edge of my seat. I morphed into a detective fully engaged following each bread crumb in attempt to solve the mystery.
A psychological horror movie like this around Halloween is just what the doctor ordered, especially if you appreciate a movie that makes you think. This movie was a perfect recipe from the cast, to the writing, cinematography, and directing. Every little detail was well thought out from what items were placed in each room, to each camera angle, right down to the music selections.
Complete genius.
When the credits started to roll, I sat in silent awe and all I could think is how I wanted to see it again. I take pride in figuring out movie endings. This one got me. I didn't see that ending coming.
I really recommend this movie to be seen in the theater. Nothing can replace the big screen and fellow audience members when going along for a journey like this.
