UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
悬疑的张力有些虎头蛇尾，有太多支线任务反而失焦
题材很新颖，和《偷窥者》一样猜不到结局，被编剧带着走，非常有趣。
视听体验好，但故事走向过于套路，反转也很蠢。最吸引人的部分是刚进入60年代的纸醉金迷，很逃避主义，但这部分太快就过渡到不痛不痒（没有实质性威胁）的鬼魂惊悚。Diana Rigg生前最后一次大银幕演出，而且状态还很不错，致敬。
希区柯克啦，库布里克啦，德帕尔马啦，波兰斯基啦，今敏啦，罗伊格啦……埃德加赖特拍出这么一部片子来宣布：“只要是你能想到的导演，我都不如他们。”
结尾的处理得扣分了，太潦草。其实相比性别议题，我看到的更多是导演埃德加赖特本人对这部影片的个人投射，很容易就想到几年前他被迫放弃执导《蚁人》，尽管他为那部电影的剧本投入大量的精力。本片里的Sandie同样在追逐梦想的道路上面临放弃自我，讨好恶魔的境地，像噩梦一样环绕在两个女主身边。我相信赖特依然对当初《蚁人》未能成行而耿耿于怀，这些年的魂牵梦绕，为《Soho区惊魂夜》提供了不少情感支撑。
复古元素很赞，整个画面和服化道都很有质感，结局也被惊艳到，唯一不喜欢的就是女主的人设。
我非常喜欢托马辛麦肯齐和安雅泰勒，能看到这两个人出现在一部电影里我还是很激动的，但这一点依然不足够让我给这部电影打四星，前几天我还非常认真得像喜欢的女孩介绍了血与冰淇淋三部曲，并且和她一起重新看了《僵尸肖恩》，介绍了一些埃德加赖特的特点，我对这部电影本来有更高的期待，辛亏我当时没说一起看埃德加赖特的新片
Anya太美了。但是为什么这个主角看得让人那么烦躁，明明在《乔乔的异想世界》里很让人怜爱啊。然后剧情就真的挺难看的。
看的时候我一直在想让日本人来怎么拍，一个昭和和当代的对话，不论是往癫狂过火拍，还是往端庄优雅拍，还是往解构KUSO拍，都有不少人能拍的比这有意思。
导演举棋不定，不知道想要啥，到底要鬼jump scare还是要惊悚推理反转，最后加害人变受害者虽然搞笑，但消解女性苦难就整个影片前功尽弃了
伦敦这样的大城市太容易让人迷失了。整部片的风格很特别，虚虚实实之间的切换、色调都很漂亮，两位女主也很迷人。从一开始就该想到是部标准的鬼片，住进一个一睡觉就会梦见特定的人特定的时代的屋子里，那当然是闹鬼了。
非常不“埃加德莱特”的一部电影，抛去了导演以往所有作品的影子，这次大玩恐怖、铅黄、梦境和意识，既cult又不落入俗套，两个女孩之间的反复切换让观众不至于审美疲劳。但这样的不妥协也必然带来的结果是观众评价的两极分化严重，没有了“血与冰激淋”反套路化的模式，企图突破以往的作品，埃加德莱特的前程势必艰辛
导演举棋不定，不知道想要啥，到底要鬼jump scare还是要惊悚推理反转，最后加害人变受害者虽然搞笑，但消解女性苦难就整个影片前功尽弃了
总之，是半部好电影，前面的学生、舞女、观众，三层视角运用的太妙了，就是我们在做梦梦里面第一视角和第三视角并存的完美呈现。但到后来，就开始套路了，导演也忘了开始他要讲什么了，全乱了全废了。
英国老鬼吓人，故事格局不够。
低於預期。結尾怎麼會這麼溫馨治癒啊，整個基調就怪了。情節是很老套，但Right的個人風格和服化道場景演員都很吸睛。燈紅酒綠繁華迷幻之下到底還有多少這樣悲慘的故事呢？「男的不行」的內容真是太能引起共鳴。看完回家路上聽了一路的The Kinks。馬特史密斯你走這個路線就對了！
真实/虚化的3（2）位女主角满是剥削，看似工具人的几个真实男性却满怀善意，女权红利彻底被赖特吃偏了。
这片看完我都要疯了。女主应该是有Schizophrenia，至于她怎么看到的60年代Sandie的故事幻象的，并没有交代清楚。也许这片子想要表达的是London是个复杂环境，来到这里不要迷失自己。最后，好想把Ellie房间外面一闪一闪的红蓝灯牌拆掉，天天这么闪怎么睡得好。
其实是挺不错的悬疑片，但是结局……差了点意思
视听出彩，对白精妙。但主题含混，高潮的对决到底传达了怎样的价值观点，被男性权力压制的女性复仇不正是主角认同的行为？
