In an effort to repair their relationship, a couple books a vacation in the countryside for themselves and their daughter. What starts as a perfect retreat begins to fall apart as one loses their grip on reality, and a sinister force tries to tear them apart. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →i borrowed You Should Have Left by Daniel Kehlmann from my library and read it yesterday and i really, really, really enjoyed it. A house that defies its dimension(s) in increasingly upsetting ways. It's the story i always wanted House of Leaves to be. Deeply unsettling and ambiguous. i loved it ♥︎
unlabelledView post →day 7/31 You Should Have Left decent psychological horror in the hands of two always reliable leads. underlines why you should always commission a professional modelmaker and not just rely on an architect. or go on holiday in Wales, apparently.

unlabelledView post →Own it! Read it when it first came out, and have reread parts over the years. If you haven't yet, check out You Should Have Left by Daniel Kehlmann. I tell people it's a House of Leaves but shorter. Touches on and gives me a lot of the same feelings HoL did, but in a more concentrated dose.
unlabelledView post →What I find scary are inexplicable oddities. Someone else mentioned House of Leaves... in the earlier sections where they are failing to properly measure the house by a few inches? Terrifying. Another slimmer book with similar "offness" is: You Should Have Left by Daniel Kehlmann

unlabelledView post →I'm not sure House of Leaves would ever make sense as a film. It's so much a love child of mixed media more than anything else. I'd almost say it'd feel off to make a film of it. But the idea of the Navidson records itself being a movie.... Well "You Should Have Left" certainly didn't succeed.
unlabelledView post →You Should Have Left from the same writer and director and also starring Kevin Bacon is a pretty good one. Came out in 2020. Slow burn haunted house movie whose characters live in a moral gray area. The whole time you question what’s really happening. Amanda Seyfried gives a great performance.
unlabelledView post →I found a website where you can rent the house featured in You Should Have Left and The Feast and, no thank you! Even in the floor plan, it states "Dark Corridor" instead of hallway, like they want me to believe that that is not a portal to another dimension as in the movie.
unlabelledView post →I found out there's a movie called "You Should Have Left" that (seems to) rip off some of the scenes from it, but I always thought the story of the house was always purposefully meant as kind of a mediocre horror plot. It surprises me to hear people find it scary.

unlabelledView post →You Should Have Left (2020) is a psychological horror film with an intriguing premise and eerie atmosphere, enhanced by jump scares and unsettling sound design. While the mysterious opening successfully builds suspense, the film suffers from weak character development, unclear backstories, and unresolved plot elements, leaving viewers with more questions than answers. Despite these flaws, the movie delivers a fair amount of tension and remains an enjoyable experience for fans of the genre. Read…

unlabelledView post →Watched "You Should Have Left" and I liked everything - the actors, the filming - it's a very beautiful movie that creates an atmosphere masterfully - not scary, but tense and thrilling. Plus, it's basically liminal spaces + psychology. The only issue is the ending, the reveal that undid everything.

unlabelledView post →Watched "You Should Have Left" (2020) yesterday. Reviews are at best luke warm. I disagree. I love horror and this movie does not annoy, something I often experience. What critics missed is how you feel after seeing this. That it was creepy and eerie, that you still got some questions. ->
unlabelledView post →Kevin Bacon horror movie 'You Should Have Left'. Wife was with son in town. House goes nuts with supernatural madness. Kevin Bacon picks up his daughter and just fucking runs for it into the night. It didn't work but I'm so glad he *tried*. So few horror movies do this at a reasonable time.
unlabelledView post →You Should Have Left was ok! It's definitely not unwatchable and had some legit scary moments. It did the classic horror movie thing of not knowing how to end.
unlabelledView post →In the movie 'You Should Have Left' when Kevin Bacon realizes he should have left, he tries to leave. Doesn't work, mind you, but he -tries-. In the movie 'Night Swim' everyone realizes the pool is bad news but 'no longer swim in the bad pool' is not an actual consideration. Curious.
