WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Eloise (McKenzie) is a young aspiring fashion designer who travels from Cornwall to London to attend a prestigious fashion school. Once there, she mysteriously finds herself transported back in time in 1966 London, where she inhabits the body of ambitious singer Sandy (Taylor-Joy) and experiences Sandy’s rollercoaster journey through the Soho district. However, it’s not long before the cracks start to show and reveal a much more disturbing picture…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Edgar Wright’s first true foray into horror movie territory is a dazzling and effective psychological tale that pays tribute to a bygone era of London which, as glamorous as it was, disguised some truly unnerving realities.
