In a new psychological thriller from Blumhouse Productions and legendary screenwriter DAVID KOEPP (Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, Panic Room), KEVIN BACON and AMANDA SEYFRIED star as a couple seeking a restful vacation on an isolated edge of the world only to discover that secrets demand a reckoning…and travel with you.
In this terrifying, mind-twisting tale, a father fights desperately to save his family from a beautiful home that refuses to let them leave.
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.
Based on the novel by best-selling German literary sensation DANIEL KEHLMANN (Measuring the World), You Should Have Left is written for the screen and directed by David Koepp (Stir of Echoes). The film is produced by grandmaster of terror JASON BLUM (The Purge and Halloween franchises), Kevin Bacon and DEAN O’TOOLE (Walk Like a Panther), and the film is executive produced by COUPER SAMUELSON (The Invisible Man), JEANETTE VOLTURNO (The Invisible Man) and DEREK AMBROSI (Premium Rush), who also served as the film’s editor.
The film’s director of photography is ANGUS HUDSON (Cashback) and the production designer is SOPHIE BECHER (A Private War). The costume designer is SUSIE COULTHARD (Lords of Chaos) and the music is by Emmy Award-winning composer GEOFF ZANELLI (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales).
