A budding fashion designer named Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie), who is obsessed with the 1960s, makes it into her dream Fashion School in London. She’s an outsider, so she finds a room in a creepy flat owned by Miss Collins (Diana Rigg, in her last role). While sleeping in the room, she begins to have intense dreams about a former occupant named Sandie (Anya Taylor-Joy, from “Queen’s Gambit”), a real Swingin’ London gal from the 1960s. Eloise and Sandie begin to merge, and the horror mystery begins.

“Last Night in Soho” is in theaters on October 29th. Featuring Anya Taylor-Joy, Thomasin McKenzie, Matt Smith, Terence Stamp and Diana Rigg. Written by Edgar Wright and Krysty Wilson-Cairns. Directed by Edgar Wright. Rated “R”
