You Should Have Left | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Right when this movie starts, the entire game is given away. Jun 24, 2020 Full Review You Should Have Left | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) The house is more interesting than the story itself. Jun 24, 2020 Full Review You Should Have Left | Rotten Tomatoes (3) A.A. Dowd AV Club But the movie itself turns out to be a much shoddier bit of carpentry... it builds a ponderous Blumhouse haunted house-one whose "scares" are just hints of a secret the audience will figure out faster than intended. Rated: C Jun 22, 2020 Full Review You Should Have Left | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews David Koepp's screenplay holds so many underdeveloped concepts and extremely superficial attempts at balancing distinct genres that it totally forgets to actually tell a convincing story with complete character arcs and interesting plot points. Rated: D+ Jul 24, 2023 Full Review You Should Have Left | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Zoë Rose Bryant Loud and Clear Reviews You Should Have Left fails to incite fear of any kind, with a story that’s more sleep-inducing than scary, despite Kevin Bacon's best efforts in the lead role. Rated: 1/5 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review You Should Have Left | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies The biggest draw is Kevin Bacon and even though this isn’t top quality material, it’s great to see him on screen again and he keeps us invested from start to finish. Rated: 3/5 Aug 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Joseph N Good pace and kept me interested. I think the low score it because the movie is hit or miss for most people. Love it or hate it kind of thing. I loved it and suspect it will be a sleeper classic in a decade. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Vazha P This movie harbors more wisdom than any of the so-called "TOP CRITICS" could ever hope to extract in their entire lifetimes. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Shelly B I loved it! The actors were good, even the little girl. It seemed like a pretty straightforward creepy house thing but really had a message. Maybe some people just didn't get that same feeling. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Anton A Interesting idea, not so good execution Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Maisy R wtf did i just watch Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Jorge M "You Should Have Left" ventures into the realm of psychological horror with a commendable attempt at crafting a compelling narrative. The film succeeds in delivering effective jump scares, providing moments of genuine tension and fear. The plot, while decent in concept, falters in its execution, leaving the audience with a sense of missed potential. The pacing, unfortunately, remains consistently slow throughout, never managing to pick up the momentum needed to elevate the suspense. Even in the final act, where one anticipates a crescendo, the film disappointingly maintains a sluggish pace. Despite its flaws, the film may appeal to viewers seeking a psychological thriller with a handful of well-executed jump scares, but those expecting a more dynamic and engaging storyline may find themselves wanting. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
