Once destined to have a theatrical release, You Should Have Left, it's yet another disappointing horror entry that finds its way into oblivion at the VOD cemetery.

I have no doubt that perhaps the film would have recouped its budget and perhaps made a profit in theaters, considering that the kind of horror it presents is the kind of horror that today's audiences tends to avidly consume and most of all, be content with it.

And is that You Should Have Left is a film that continues to perpetuate Blumhouse's formula: Spend little, limit the sets and characters, and expect good dividends.
But that same minimal effort reflects all its weaknesses and this film is limited, shy and devoid of scares and a real atmosphere.

It's not a complete failure, but it must be admitted that the little that can be saved is not enough to validate the whole thing.

This film is a reflection of the public and what they currently know as horror and you cannot tell me that it's not, because if it weren't so, these films wouldn't be produced.… Expand

Whoa, it's spooky that the movie tried to warn to stay away from watching it, but just like a horror movie, I ignored it.

Even so, though Koepp does a good job with the usual horror scenes most of the time, other times they are overdone and consequently tedious and in their entirety, never too frightening as one would hope - save for one or two scenes. As for the performances, Avery Essex's is always promising. And whilst Bacon's is questionable many times (as is Seyfried's), he seems to pull through towards the end. It all culminates to a 93-minute horror that is mediocre at best.… Expand

The first 45 minutes of the movie was so dreadfully common that it was actually aggravating. But once the ball finally got rolling, it became mildly interesting, but even then, there was nothing particularly special about the plot of this film.
