7/10
A good story spoilt by excess
9 December 2021
Hidden amidst a lot of crude blood-letting and shock effects, there is an intriguing supernatural tale within this film. There are some striking visual images, a good soundtrack, and a compelling performance by Anya Maxwell-Joy as a 1960s starlet who descends into the seedy underbelly of Soho life. Quite why modern fashion student Eloise goes back in time to relive these scenes, or why she seems unable to use the internet in the modern day, isn't really explained. I did feel that the film would have been better if the director had used more restraint in some sections, and concentrated more on making the storyline more credible.
