The idea of a haunted house takes on terrifying new meaning in “You Should Have Left,” David Koepp’s upcoming horror film that Universal is surprise releasing this month on demand. Kevin Bacon and Amanda Seyfried star in the film, which centers on a couple who vacation in a beautiful but isolated house. Their serene home quickly gives way to psychological horrors as it becomes apparent the house contains some sort of twisted, malevolent force.
The official synopsis from Universal reads: “Theo Conroy (Bacon) is a successful middle-aged man whose marriage to his much younger actress wife, Susanna (Seyfried), is shredding at the seams, frayed by her secretiveness, his jealousy, and the shadow of his past. In an effort to repair their relationship, Theo and Susanna book a vacation at a stunning, remote modern home in the Welsh countryside for themselves and their six-year-old daughter, Ella (Avery Essex). What at first seems like a perfect retreat distorts into a perfect nightmare when Theo’s grasp on reality begins to unravel and he suspects that a sinister force within the house knows more than he or Susanna have revealed, even to each other.”
