Last Night in Soho / int_1b5c9c48	comment	The Blank: The ghosts haunting Ellie have blurred faces with no recognisable features, giving them a very eerie appearance. They turn out to be the men who sexually abused Sandie and whom she later murdered. When Sandie admits this to Ellie, she says that blanking out their faces in her mind was the only way for her to endure the abuse, and seeing them as faceless entities rather than actual people made it easier for her to kill them. It's only when Sandie finally sees their true faces that she realises what her pursuit of vengeance has turned her into.

The scene is treated as tragic as Ms. Collins/Sandie by the end of the day was just a young girl who came to Soho to follow her dreams but was abused and taken advantage by men like Jack. Ms. Collins/Sandie's murder of Jack and the other men was just her getting revenge on the people that abused and took advantage of her.

In the first scene, Eloise receives a letter (informing her she's gotten into fashion school). In the conclusion, she receives another which leads to her discovering that Mrs Collins is Sandie. When Ellie and Sandie see themselves for the first time as reflections in the lobby mirror of the Cafe de Paris, they both tab their finger on the mirror. They do the same in the last shot of the movie.

Last Night in Soho / int_6ec4232f	comment	Casting Gag: Rita Tushingham plays Eloise's Granny, who moved to London decades previously, but now lives in Cornwall after it went wrong, which is a reference to Tushingham's role as a Country Mouse who moves to London in the 1960s film The Knack... and How to Get It. Diana Rigg plays a singer who was pimped out in her youth by Jack as a young woman in the 1960s, which may be a (dark) commentary on Rigg's roles as a sex symbol in her 1960s work as Emma Peel, a legacy with which Rigg herself was uncomfortable. Wright has mentioned that the 1960s Poor Cow was a major inspiration for Last Night In Soho, where Terence Stamp plays a boyfriend turned violent pimp, which is also exactly the character of Jack. Except that, despite Ellie's assumptions, Stamp is not the older Jack; he's actually Officer Lindsay, a vice cop who tried to help Sandie.

Jack punches him out and he and Sandie run out of the club ahead of security. If the man knows Jack, and knows he's a pimp, then it follows that he genuinely thought Sandie was a prostitute (not that it makes him any less of a jerk). A police officer questions if Eloise had her drink spiked at the Halloween party. We never find out for certain if she had, but she is given laced tea in the film's climax. When Eloise is looking for info on women murdered in the '60s, she instead finds many articles on men who went missing or were found dead. These men are later revealed to be victims of Sandie after they abused her during her time as a prostitute. In addition, during the library scene, one of the ghosts faintly yells "Help". During the marionette sequence, we get a shot of Jack talking with his mates, just as we hear the lyrics "Just who's pulling the strings". When Eloise confronts the Silver Haired Gentleman thinking he is Jack and that he killed Sandie, he says "Alex killed Sandie". He is referring to Ms. Collins, whose first name is Alexandra and was Sandie in her youth. She later tells Eloise that Sandie did die in her bedroom, but it was more of a metaphorical death for Alexandra losing who she was as Sandie and becoming a murderer. Early in the film when Eloise tries to talk to Ms. Collins about a possible murder that occurred in her room, Ms. Collins almost dismissively talks about how people die everywhere around London. This foreshadows the fact that Ms. Collins was really Sandie committing the murders in the room. Lots of them, actually. When Ms. Collins is showing Eloise the room she comments on a bad smell in the summer and blames the drains — in reality, it's on account of the bodies hidden in the floor and walls. Ms. Collins' adamant attitude about not having men in the room at night time nor having a male tenant becomes clear when you realize she was Sandie and had all those horrible experiences in the room from Jack pimping her out. After Ms. Collins mistakes John for attacking Eloise, she casually remarks to Eloise that she would have "killed" him if she had been in that situation herself. Following the reveal, it becomes apparent that she was not being hyperbolic. The Silver Haired Gentleman telling Eloise that Sandie was not some innocent girl ultimately foreshadows that Sandie was really the one that not only killed Jack, but also committed multiple other murders. To foreshadow the fact that Soho is gradually revealed in-story to be a red-light district that preys upon female dreamers, the transitions to the visions of the past are cued by flashing lights outside Ellie's room, which go between blue, white, and red, with red shining at the moment of the switch. This would have been more obvious with a working title for the film, "Red Light Area". We see that Ellie's mother stays with her as a ghost in her home, and as the London visions progress and darken, Eloise becomes increasingly desperate to interact with Sandie and communicate with her to no avail. That Sandie never seems to truly see Ellie and acknowledge her first seems like a consequence of being on a different plane, but the male ghosts contrast Sandie by actively stalking Ellie. At the end of the film, it turns out the difference is based on the fact that the men are dead spirits and Sandie is just a memory of someone still alive, rather than the reverse being the case. Ellie's mother and the behavior of the different spirits indicated that memories can't reach out to or see Ellie while the dead can.

Ellie tries to stop her and convince her to not do it even after Ms. Collins/Sandie attempted to murder her and John. The scene is treated as tragic as Ms. Collins/Sandie by the end of the day was just a young girl who came to Soho to follow her dreams but was abused and taken advantage by men like Jack. Ms. Collins/Sandie's murder of Jack and the other men was just her getting revenge on the people that abused and took advantage of her. Briefly near the end, it appears the movie is going for this when all of Sandie's victims begin begging Eloise to help them...but only for a moment as the help they want is for her to help them get revenge on Sandie for killing them. As they were all possibly sexual predators, she quickly rejects them and a short time later agrees with the now elderly Sandie that they got what they deserved.

After a cold reception from her more cosmopolitan classmates, and her dreams of Sandie's memories, she copies Sandie's appearance by dying her hair blond, embracing bolder colors and buying a white trenchcoat. When the dreams become more unsettling and cause a degree of Sanity Slippage, Eloise begins to take on a Looks Like Cesare aesthetic, with dark eyeliner contrasting with her pale skin. In the film's final scene, she reverts to her original brunette hairstyle, but paired with a red top, suggesting that she's adapted elements of Sandie's boldly colored and seductive style without fully trying to copy it, underscoring how she's matured beyond her nostalgia for the Sixties. The use of red also links her with her visions of her mother, who appears in mirrors dressed in a red sweater. Sandie also experiences a wardrobe shift, albeit one subtler than Eloise's, with her outfits becoming increasingly more revealing to reflect her objectification by Jack. After her death, her ghost returns wearing the pink dress she was most comfortable in.

Ellie likewise takes up work as a barmaid to afford to live at the bedsit after leaving her student accommodation (and spending over Â£300 on a new hairstyle and wardrobe).

Last Night in Soho / int_dd082289	comment	A Million Is a Statistic: Eloise asks Ms. Collins if anyone had died in her room and her response was basically that a city with a LONG history like London that someone has likely died in every room in every building. Eloise then tries searching for a specific murder sometime in the 1960s but is quickly overwhelmed by the sheer volume. The 'naturally' high death/disappearance rate in 1960s London even managed to effectively disguise a highly prolific Serial Killer, even when Eloise's looking right at the victims.

Last Night in Soho / int_e5b75009	comment	"Psycho" Strings: Subtly invoked. The innocent Cilla Black song "You're My World", which is used in the film, has notable and perhaps jarring high-pitched string stings in the instrumentation. These strings are ultimately reframed in the classic "Psycho" association when Miss Collins/Sandie tries to stab Ellie on the staircase with a knife while the vision of Sandie sings a haunting cover of "You're My World".

Last Night in Soho / int_e5fd8bc2	comment	Hate Sink: Jocasta, Eloise's classmate and former roommate in accommodation, initially puts on a friendly front, but is soon revealed to be an arrogant bully who openly belittles Eloise and her fashion sense. She isn't a villainous abuser like Jack, or a murderer like Sandie, but Jocasta is still an unrepentant Jerkass and doesn't get any better as the film goes on. Once he shows his true colors, Jack is little more than a reprehensible pimp who repeatedly abuses Sandie while yelling slurs at her. Absolutely no one feels remotely sad when Sandie kills him in self-defense.

Last Night in Soho / int_ed05cfee	comment	NaÃ¯ve Newcomer: Despite her self-assured, sultry presentation, Sandie is quickly revealed to be completely and tragically out of her depth. She walks into a popular club, asks to see the owner for an audition despite having no appointment or previous experience, falls for the first man who isn't an obvious creep to her, and ends up in a dead end job at a cabaret while the aforementioned man pimps her out to his friends. And she didn't suspect a thing until it was too late. Eloise is also a more obvious example, as a timid young Country Mouse who starts the film like a Disney Princess literally dancing around the house in a homemade dress. She is hopelessly naive as to what life in London is actually like, namely just how expensive it actually is. On a darker note, it also doesn't occur to her that someone suffering from I See Dead People moving to what was once the murder capital of London might be a bad idea for one's mental health. Or that shouting to everyone who can hear about a murder might spur the killer to take action.

Last Night in Soho / int_f3fd818b	comment	Dark Reprise: Cilla Black's "You're My World" features in a glorifying context during Ellie's first vision of Sandie, but it returns in a haunting context as Sandie/Miss Collins attempts to kill Ellie in the climax. Sandie's rendition of the song as she stalks with a knife colors the loving lyrics as an obsessive Murder Ballad ("you're every breath I take"), while the violin from the song now sounds more like full-blown "Psycho" Strings. The song shifts back into Cilla's rendition, but remains dark due to being ironically and tragically joyous against the struggle and the full picture of Sandie's life.

The latter also had a second career as a visual artist, in which she would grotesque or deconstruct her sex symbol image, which is quite apt considering the film's third act.
