You Should Have Left (2020)
Kevin Bacon reteams with Stir of Echoes director David Koepp for a weird psychological thriller about a family that moves into a country house that quickly starts to drive Kevin Bacon crazy.
With that said, the setup has Kevin Bacon (61) married to Amanda Seyfried (34). They play on the age difference a bit and he gets jealous of her acting career and thinks she's cheating on him with other men her own age. They do have a kid together though, and that's what keeps him sane about the whole thing. Sort of. You see, the little daughter eventually asks her mom why people hate daddy so much, and she's informed of a less than honorable backstory about his first wife, and well... it builds off of that.
It's a pretty decent story. I love when Kevin Bacon ventures into darker material, and he does a great job. However, while the story is pretty interesting, I can't help but think that the author (book written in 2017) was heavily inspired by Stephen King and Joe Hill's "In the Tall Grass" (book written in 2012). I'd watched In the Tall Grass (2019) a few months back and they're very similar.
