Episode #280: Legacy – Last Night in Soho

It’s hump day baby, guess what that means? YES, yet another Reel Film Nerds incredible podcast movie review. For pod #280 Mike and Matt review a film from last October that they missed in theaters, Last Night in Soho. Not ghost story topics include MCU confusion, panhandling, and Better Call Saul.

This is a unique horror film. It is a mystery, ghost story, haunted house, and time travel voyage all rolled into one. Last Night in Soho isn’t terrible but it isn’t earth shattering either. The acting is great, the sets look really good, and the cinematography is amazing, especially the use of color. The movie just really should have been better. It is down right tedious with its pacing. The ending is the nicest and best surprise of the film. It has a big twist that caught both of your hosts off guard and that’s rare. If you are looking for a film that’s a little unique and scary to watch, Last Night in Soho is worth a glance. If you aren’t then no big loss. Your hosts are grateful they did not see this one in the theaters. Mike returns to form as the harsh host awarding the flick 2 out of 5 Reels. Matt on the other hand enjoyed it but agrees the movie is lacking especially horror elements. He awards Last Night in Soho 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

For next week’s film review, if Mike can skip out for two hours of his third vacation of the year, yes third! We will be chatting about Jordan Peele’s latest thriller NOPE starring Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer. Thanks for listening and we will chat with you next week!

For next week’s review Matt of all hosts picked a horror movie to chat about. Edgar Wright’s first horror film Last Night in Soho just dropped on HBO Max. Thanks for listening and we will chat with you next week!
