Trivia
Final performance of Diana Rigg, who passed away on September 10, 2020. The film is dedicated to her memory. Her only child, actress Rachael Stirling, receives a "Special Thanks" in the end credits.

Goofs
Eloise asks the librarian for information on missing persons for the entire 1960's, but she had an obvious reference to narrow her search - Thunderball (1965) was released in the UK on December 29, 1965 meaning this was early 1966 at the earliest.

Quotes
Eloise: Has a woman ever died in my room?
Ms Collins: This is London. Someone has died in every room in every building and on every street corner in the city.

Crazy credits
Before the film begins, it opens with a simple dedication: "For Diana". This is likely a dedication for the film's star, Diana Rigg, who died after shooting finished, but before the release of the film.

About Last Night..

Last Night in Soho really had me hypnotized. I feel like that's a comment that will be said by a lot of people, but that's exactly the kind of effect this film has. Edgar Wright brings us a dreamy, groovy ghost story that heavily pays tribute to Suspiria, along with other film classics from the 60s and 70s. Being Britain's top film junkie, Edgar Wright can get a hold of a camera and make it seem like you're walking into a video store at full blast. His love of this specific genre of horror is just gushing here. His love of music is also as romantic as ever. Music plays just as important of a role here as it did in Baby Driver, even if the songs aren't full-on characters of their own. Mackenzie and Taylor-Joy carry this film fully on their shoulders, and by God, do they rock it. I've been incredibly impressed with Thomasin Mackenzie since Jojo Rabbit, and if this film doesn't rocket her career all the way to the top, nothing will. There's so much to love about this movie. It's a trace. No, it's a trip.
