In the Blumhouse Insidious films, it's not the house that's haunted. But for Kevin Bacon and Amanda Seyfried in the company's new thriller, You Should Have Left, it appears that their dwelling is very much infused with the supernatural. Check out the trailer for the film.
Bacon is Theo Conroy, 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... Among the weirdness that goes in is the house appearing to be bigger on the inside than the outside. Hey - that surely means it's a TARDIS, right? Everything will be fine! Except definitely not.
You Should Have Left reunites Bacon with writer/director David Koepp, who put him through the horror wringer on Stir Of Echoes. Their latest collaboration is skipping cinemas and heading straight to video on demand (at least in the US, but probably here in the UK too) on 19 June.
