Don't Leave Home
Directed by Michael Tully
Melanie, an artist whose work centers on urban legends, is contacted by a Father Alistair Burke, who, in 1986, painted a portrait of an 8-year-old girl who mysteriously disappears. On the urging of the reclusive priest and his cohort, she heads to the Irish countryside for an art commission. Telling no one where she’s going, Melanie never stops to consider that some urban legends are real. A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE.

An atmospheric dark fantasy set in rural Ireland. It's hauntingly beautiful and it plays effectively through the themes of unresolved guilt and trauma. Leaning more into the dreamlike and hallucinatory elements and containing bits of Irish urban legend, the film provides a compelling mystery that is immersive as it is eminently watchable, though it is sometimes flawed with clunky dialogue. The ending is devastating and profoundly moving. Some people may find it too slow and vague, but I personally like it.
This a very very very very slow film, with no real plot. I hated it and I feel like it was a waste of my time
Good mystery drama with some horror elements. Well made with a good story and setting. Lead actress was okay but could have been better. Was a bit slow at times and ending could have been better. Overall enjoyed this but its not going to suit hardcore horror fans.
I really liked this, but it was hard not to fall asleep.
amazing film, not your typical gore or anything of that sort, but very suspenseful you must pay attention to every detail.
