Last Night in Soho: How scary is Edgar Wright and Anya Taylor-Joy’s new horror movie?

Slate  

For die-hards, no horror movie can be too scary. We’ve put together a highly scientific and mostly spoiler-free system for rating new horror movies, comparing them with classics along a 10-point scale. You might come to dread these nightmares—or the way that they begin to bleed into Ellie’s waking life—but this isn’t a movie that bombards you with constant jump scares. Last Night in Soho probably won’t give you nightmares like Ellie’s—almost nothing is left unexplained, which should help leave your mind a little more at ease. It’s the uncomfortable truths that Ellie reckons with that ultimately comprise the movie’s greatest scares, not its handful of slasher-esque sequences or its hero’s growing psychosis.
