YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT REVIEW

   I just finished the latest movie from Blumhouse Productions, You Should Have Left. Starring Kevin Bacon and Amanda Seyfried, the movie is based off a book of the same name that came out in 2017 by Daniel Kehlmann. I came across the trailer earlier this year and was instantly interested. It looked creepy and like it would be a good thriller. A lot of  paranoia and shadiness leads our characters down a path that sets the course of the movie.

    When Theo and Susanna go to Wales for a getaway with there daughter Ella, they think it is a good way to reconnect with themselves and marriage. Then strange things start to happen to Theo and Ella. They soon find out that the house the rented for there getaway has a dark past.
   I enjoyed this movie for what it is. Kevin Bacon was good as he always is, and is paired well with Amanda Seyfried. Is it the best thriller out there, maybe not, but it is a entertaining movie. There is a mystery around Theo and his past, and as it starts to catch up with him. Now I do wish there was more going on in the first act like there was in the last. It does feel like the first part of the movie drags a little. It is a good movie to checkout maybe when the price for rental goes down from the twenty dollars it is at now.
