Maria Sandra Contreras Ughhh this movie mildly depressed me.. and that's a compliment. It struck a personal chord with me, I guess it's because I know someone who has gone through something similar to Rick Gomez's character Henry. Most movies would show you the perspective of the people standing on the sidelines watching someone they know suffer from an illness, but in this movie you're given the perspective of the sick person himself, and it was portrayed realistically, emotionally, and psychologically disturbing. It gives you an insight of what they're going through, how it's affecting their lives, and how it's impacted them physically and mentally. And obviously it's not easy. Throughout the film I was just scared for and at the same time, captivated by Henry's struggling. It hit the feels, really. I'm still thinking about it.I absolutely love the work done here. Rick Gomez and Frank John Hughes did a brilliant job both in writing the story and their performance. My admiration for them only grew even more, truly talented actors and so underrated by the industry. Great film.

gavin6942 Henry Harper (Rick Gomez) is a successful novelist who has it all. But after surviving a recent trauma he finds himself haunted by a dream that terrifies him. Convinced that the only way to understand what the dream means is to write his way through it, Henry decides to go to a remote second home to begin work on his next novel, a thriller.I feel like this film has a lot of potential but never really took off. My interest was not held for much of the (short) duration and that is no compliment. The diner scene is tense and well-acted by everyone, and the "big reveal" there plays out nicely.I would have to see this film again to really give it a fair shake, but I have to say that is not a venture I am looking forward to taking any time soon.

pmdawn Just as a sign of how much this film moved me, this is my first review on IMDb after 3 years of not having much to add or say about countless other movies.As other reviewers have written, it's tough to talk about "Leave" without spoiling it.The best I can do is recommend you read the synopsis, perhaps watch the trailer and make up your own mind. Don't fall for the abysmal ratings on IMDb. You can leave and dismiss it as I almost did or stay and be surprised. Do what you want.You have a choice. One minute into the film and I wasn't sure if this was for me. I chose to let go and enjoy the trip. Turns out this was just what I needed.I'd describe it as a slow paced psychological thriller. It's a short movie and it's perfect as it is.I can say I've watched this twice in a row and I'm still thinking about it. I cannot recommend this enough.

labshop Like another reviewer, I joined just to comment on this movie and also, to undo their remarks and score. I also felt that it wouldn't be fair to submit my take without adding that it might share a bit too much, (ok I wrote a spoiler) also who would want to be blacklisted right out of the gate. I rented this movie without reading the premise; I was in hurry and the 4 and a half star rating got me. Never do anything in a hurry. It has been over a half hour since the credits and at this point, I feel in a better position to evaluate the story.My first reaction is do I suggest or warn my two siblings and/or forbid my Mother from accidentally viewing this film. I decided yes to the former and yes to the latter. After eight years without spending Christmas with our Sister, for some reason this year got to me more then the past, so a movie like this really took me off guard. Our entire family went through a scene all too similar to this stories ending. I knew something was about to take a turn, just didn't think it would go down like it did, with the bed and IV drip. The writer had to have lost someone to this disease, because it does not seem possible to be this keen without first hand experience. We lost her 8 years ago around the Holidays and I'm finding out that some years affect you more then others and although a film like this can stir thing up, I'm grateful, by chance, to have seen it. I wrote this review and embellished so others can get a real life perspective and hope others share as well. It is better to release emotions then to hold them in and then explode on the innocent.Everyone involved in this Production was superb! My favorite was Frank John Hughes (Chris) where has this under rated actor been and why doesn't he garner more attention. Dude you were Great, simply Great! The entire movie was an unexpected surprise; especially that it received so little attention. I wish I could do a memory dump and watch it anew, even with the tears. I have just become a Gomez and Hughes fan for their pen and a fan of the four principal actors as well. This Movie was F**kin Great.
