First of all, I enjoyed watching Kevin Bacon playing his character. He is talented and he has a lot of experience. So, he was a very good choice for a complicated character like Theo. Also, I saw nice acting from Avery Tiiu Essex (Theo's daughter). She is talented. The story is very fascinating. It is the story of a family that goes to a special house for a vacation. Theo is suspected of killing his ex-wife. The movie is well-made. Most of the story is happening in the house. In my opinion, the director could benefit from more locations. The background noise and music were awesome. I liked the movements of the camera and the angles of the camera in different scenes. In summary, I recommend watching this movie to horror fans.
It perhaps can be OK for those who are super fond of mystery / suspect genre but to me it was really a cheap one. It's only good fron the point, watching these trash makes you realize what a masterpiece Shining was.
There is a little problem here. There is written that "A screenwriter travels to a remote house in Wales with his family so that he can write the sequel to his big hit film, but he begins to regret his decision after suffering from a severe case of writer's block. " This is probably from another movie, because he is not a writer. He is an ex-banker and there is no writer's block, of course... But the film is medium and Kevin Bacon is great !
Was really looking forward to this...but it was so unbelievably boring. There were a few good scenes in it, but not enough. These people must be desperate for money, cos I'm not sure how you can show up to work after reading this script. Even horror films need a point; some sense of direction...this film was missing all the elements. Skip it.
A lot better than many of the horror / thrillers coming out these days, so not too sure why so many negative reviews. Good acting, good suspense. Does a pretty good job for small budget movie. It's more of an eerie suspense thriller rather than a jump scare, so if you're after constant scares, this might not be for you. Certainly got us hooked right till the end.
"You Should Have Left" is a psychological thriller that delves into the complexities of guilt, regret, and the haunting nature of past actions. The film's eerie atmosphere and intricate narrative keep the audience on edge, constantly questioning the boundaries between reality and imagination. The story's exploration of a crumbling marriage and the impact of hidden secrets adds a profound layer to its suspense, making it a compelling watch for those who appreciate psychological depth in their thrillers.
