10 Horror Movie Killers EVERYONE Predicted
4. Mrs. Collins - Last Night in Soho
Edgar Wright's Last Night in Soho hides a third act plot twist up its sleeve, yet Wright left said sleeve showing a little too eagerly earlier in the film.
It's eventually revealed that Ellie's (Thomasin McKenzie) landlady Mrs. Collins (Diana Rigg) is actually a decades-older Sandie (Anya Taylor-Joy), who in her youth became a serial killer, luring men back to her home and murdering them, before hiding the bodies in the walls and beneath the floorboards.
For starters, it's unconscionable to picture Edgar Wright hiring an actress as esteemed as Diana Rigg for a throwaway supporting part, because though Rigg was into her eighties when she filmed her role, her Emmy-nominated work on Game of Thrones a few years prior proved she still had the chops for meaty dramatic work.
And moreover, there's a dead giveaway scene early in the film, when Mrs. Collins shows the bedsit to Ellie and mentions that the building gives off a horrible smell in the summer - not-so-subtly hand-waving the fact that there are dead bodies lining the walls.
