Don't Look Now vs Repulsion
Later this year, Edgar Wright will release the much-anticipated Last Night in Soho, a thriller starring Anya Taylor Joy. Tonight, we will examine two of the film’s inspirations: Don’t Look Now and Repulsion. Both of these films center around main characters that are experiencing a psychological breakdown, and over the course of the movies, the lead characters encounter a number of nightmarish visions. Which of these flicks’ visions are scarier? Will you be as freaked out as they are? Ignore red raincoats, stay away from the walls ... and let's talk about movies!
