10 Exact Moments Recent Horror Movies Won Us Over

While Last Night in Soho may have underwhelmed from a commercial standpoint, Edgar Wright's 2021 dive into the waters of psychological horror is a glorious piece of cinema.

Featuring all the Wright trappings audiences have come to expect from the director, Last Night in Soho follows the tale of Ellie Turner. An aspiring young designer, Ellie begins experiencing inexplicable paranormal events that see her seemingly transported back in time to the 1960s.

Promotional prerelease material had painted a murky picture of what to expect from the film. Last Night in Soho's complex subject matter and the manner in which it subverts horror conventions didn't exactly make for an informative trailer, meaning that anyone who wasn't a die-hard Wright fan may have need some convincing that this movie was worth their time.

This is a sentiment that typically vanishes in a heartbeat during the sequence where Ellie time travels for the first time - such is the authenticity that Wright's visual love letter utilizes to immerse the audience in 1960s London. The director even manages to leave a burning question in the audience's mind, with the mysterious reveal that Ellie's reflection in this alternate timeline shows her as Anya Taylor-Joy's Sandie.

Inviting questions and emotional investment in equal measure, this gorgeous sequence drives the narrative forward while firmly establishing Last Night in Soho's unique visual flair.
