Don't Leave Home is a US made feature horror set in Ireland on a 400yr old estate.
It tells the story of an artist who is commisioned to make a piece for a disgraced priest. She must travel from the US to Ireland, live with them while making the artwork and remain for the auction.
But in traditional horror form things don't go to plan and before she knows it she is subject to weird supernatural activities.
The movie is very atmospheric and throughout I was both fascinated and bored to tears. It's nothing we haven't seen before, but the slow plodding pace didn't seem to be offering anything or suggesting it was going anywhere.
When the finale comes, it delivers but leaves you with far too many questions and therefore when the credits rolled I felt rather unsatisfied.
Don't Leave Home certainly has some good ideas and a solid concept, but an additional 15-30 minutes to pad it out and fully explain just what in the blue hell was going on would have been appreciated.
The Good:
Very atmospheric
Some good ideas
The Bad:
Very slow paced
Too much left to the imagination
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Heaven is a marsh
Never trust a priest (In movies or real life)
