Notes

My quick rating - 7,5/10. This movie just looks amazing so far, for technical merits. Once the movie ended, that amazing feeling didn't leave. As far as horror goes, this one is up with the best of the year for sure. Thomasin McKenzie plays Eloise, a small-town girl heading to the big city to be a fashion designer. After she is not very impressed with her dorm mates, she finds her own place and this is where her story and that of an aspiring singer played by Anya Taylor-Joy become intertwined. Seems for some reason when she sleeps, she is thrust into the singer's life through her dream world. This flick is much more a throwback type of psychological horror flick than we are used to presently and that is a very good thing. There is an incredible amount of attention paid to detail in keeping the real world and dream states organized and entertaining as you start to piece together what is connecting the two. The movie starts off completely throwing you off to what to expect and moves slowly, developing the story and wonderful cast along the way. But it never feels slow as you are more drawn into Eloise's situation and putting it together. Director Edgar Wright knew exactly what he was doing with the pacing and though for horror fans this may be too slow, this was completely on purpose to draw you in slowly while the entire menacing truth of what is going on builds. Absolutely impeccable flick in all aesthetics and only is held slightly back by not going full horror when it could have easily done so. This may bother some but I personally had no qualms with that choice. If you like the movie or not, you will be hard-pressed to deny just how incredibly well-made it is. I expect Oscar mentions when it comes time.
