10 Horror Movie 2020 Fates Worse Than Death

10. You Should Have Left - Theo's Stuck In The Devil's Waiting Room

In You Should Have Left, couple Theo and Susanna take their daughter Ella on vacation. However it's only when they arrive that they realise neither actually made the booking. Unfortunately for them, they quickly find out they haven't been set up by a mysterious suitor with good intentions and are instead being stalked by something that is just out of sight.

The supernatural sightings and noises grow worse and worse for the couple and Theo receives a sinister note in his journal. It warns him that they all need to leave the house before it's too late.

Being the sensible one of the pair (and presumably having seen the movie's title), Susanna gets the hell out of there, but Theo and Ella remain. This, as I'm sure you can already imagine, is not a smart move.

They quickly find that the house no longer makes sense (walls and angles are confused and warped) and when Theo eventually rings for a cab to get away, the man he speaks to tells him that his is a house from where the Devil collects souls. Oops.

Theo returns to his diary to discover that it now spells out a new fate: "You should have left. Now it's too late."

This is all partly a punishment for Theo's own failings. He had a wife before Susanna who drowned and while he didn't kill her, he didn't save her when he had the chance.

The flick finishes with Theo accepting that he will remain in this Devil's waiting room, which thankfully frees Ella, as his spirit watches his family flee.
