Redirect not working properly (blank screen)

When I submit the form, I just see a blank page. The url in the address bar is the correct one for the contact page but, the screen is blank. Does anyone know why this is?

Here is my code:

$app->post('/contact', function() use($app){
    $name = $app->request->post('name');
    $email = $app->request->post('email');
    $msg = $app->request->post('msg');

    if(!empty($name) && !empty($email) && !empty($msg)){

    } else {
        //message the user that there was a problem
        $app->redirect('/contact');
    }

});
