Separation

I cannot believe how poorly written and directed this film is. The premise has so much potential but the story and film get so many details wrong by just being lazy. Separation is not worth going to the theatre to see; if you must watch it then wait to see it on cable or online.

Firstly, this movie isn't nearly as terrible as people are making it out to be. Yes, it's nothing memorable and the runtime is way to long, but it somewhat redeems itself with some creepy moments and awesome ghost (I assume) designs.

The editing is rather sloppy with some moments feeling as if scenes were cut and then forgotten to add back, giving it a very rushed feeling.

Over all its entertaining enough to sit through but don't expect to be wowed. It had so much potential but ultimately never reaches the heights it could have.

Didnt hate it but didnt love it we wanted to get out of the house and not much is playing because Hollywood is so fricking greedy!! Had a few good moments and we liked that cast. Didnt really need Brian cox but I'm sure he needs a paycheck as well. I'd recommend waiting for Netflix or Amazon, hbo, whatever. Not worth going to the theater but it was nice to get out of the house and it was senior day so its 5 bucks.

This was a nonsensical movie with no plot. There is no character arc for anyone. The twist isn't even remotely hinted at. I mean if you can call it a twist I guess.

The wife wants a divorce and they are in mediation the next week. They are making fun of him. He will get nothing and no custody. Even his attorney says he's screwed. Why?

He has to call 911 for an allergy for his daughter. The cops show up for some reason and need to take his daughter because they suspect abuse. Of corpse they got a hold of the grandpa somehow and he shows up instantly. The dad is like "okay". What?

The cops don't come for an allergic reaction.

Everything was so heavy handed and not close to reality. Three stars is being generous, the monsters were cool though.

"Separation" is a horror film about a family coping with big changes. I find the story scary and suspenseful. The thing I like the most is that it also has non scary elements in it too. I enjoyed watching it.
