In anew interview with EmpireforEdgar Wright’s upcoming psychological horror filmLast Night in Soho,Thomasin McKenzieteased that her character has a “sixth sense." The interview also included a new image of McKenzie from Wright’s highly anticipated new film.
The new image shows McKenzie’s protagonist Eloise covered in pink light and curiously looking at something outside the frame. According to McKenzie, Eloise has a “kind of a sixth sense.” That means, in McKenzie’s words, that “she can feel things that are on another level that most people can’t see or feel.” McKenzie also talked about the movie itself, claiming thatLast Night in Sohois “very unique” and filled with plot twists. McKenzie says, “I love things where you’re reading a script, and you know where it’s going, and then it just goes in a completely different direction.”

These quotes reflect just how little we know aboutLast Night in Sohoso far. The thin movie summary tells us McKenzie’s Eloise is an English fashion designer who travels back to 1960 to meet her idol, the singer Sandy (Anya Taylor-Joy). This fantastic trip, though, promises to bring some nasty surprises to Eloise, seen bruised and bloodied in previous images. And that’s it. How the story will play with horror themes, and how Wright will put his unique twist to the movie, is something we will apparently only learn whenLast Night in Sohohits theaters later this year.
Last Night in Sohowill be Wright’s first take at psychological horror. Wright already charted horror territory with his Cornetto Trilogy, which includedShaun of the Dead,Hot Fuzz, andThe World’s End, all of which combined horror tropes with comedy.Last Night in Sohoseems to be yet another unique experience in the filmmaker’s prolific career.
After being delayed multiple times,Last Night in Sohois expected to be released on October 29.
