Edgar Wright knocks it out of the park once again! With what I think will be a modern masterpiece like his previous movie, 'Baby Driver'. This psychological horror tells of Ellie Turner, a 60's obsessed girl with aspirations of being a fashion designer. She moves to Soho in London to attend fashion school but soon gets seduced by the city's history, both good and evil. Thomasin McKenzie is stunning as a shy girl but also tragic as a girl either losing her grip on reality or being haunted by a story from Soho's past. Wright gives us such creative and unique visuals and camera work that make every scene both a pleasure and chilling to watch. Displaying an evil side to the nostalgia centric society we now live in, it holds a disturbing mirror (if you see the movie, you'll see how that's a good joke) up to us and says "The past isn't your fantasy. It was someone else's reality".

I think a lot of people miss the point of this movie. Zac Efron was cast, I think to be likeable, charming and kind which is what every poor soul that fell victim to Bundy thought he was. Such a chilling performance from Efron and a great performance from Lily Collins as well.
