IndieWireEric KohnMar 16, 2018
The closing minutes are a completely original sort of survival drama, one that defies precise explanation even as it delivers significant payoff. Read full review

Tully, along with cinematographer Wyatt Garfield and composer Michael Montes, has crafted an elegantly creepy pastiche. Read full review

Screen DailyFionnuala HalliganSep 13, 2018
Slow, deliberate and often unexpectedly funny, Michael Tully’s (Ping Pong Summer) contribution to the ever-growing Irish horror catalogue is refreshingly original even if it lacks the jump scare pay off to its heavily-signposted creepiness. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisSep 13, 2018
Don’t Leave Home is a frustratingly befuddled movie that’s nevertheless fascinating. Read full review

VarietyDennis HarveySep 13, 2018
The result is a diverting-to-a-point curio whose nice atmospherics and good performances ultimately don’t add up to quite enough to satisfy the constructs of horror, allegory, satire — or anything else. Read full review
