Oscura Separación

I personally didn't care for the plot, as it's nothing that hasn't been done before, but I appreciated the monster/ghost designs and how they evolved from the dad's artwork. With a better story that sort of thing could have a lot more potential. Otherwise there's nothing particularly remarkable about this movie.

I stumbled upon the 2021 horror movie "Separation" without ever having heard about it. And of course, with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch it.

And let me just say that writers Nick Amadeus and Josh Braun actually managed to scribble down a script and storyline that provided good wholesome entertainment. The movie is not really scary in terms of it being a horror movie, but the atmosphere is dark and brooding and there are some genuinely creepy moments throughout the course of the story.

"Separation" has a pretty interesting cast ensemble, with the lead part being played phenomenally well by actor Rupert Friend. He really carried this movie nicely with his performance. It should also be said that child actress Violet McGraw definitely was a star in this movie as well, and she put on a very good performance. And the movie also has Brian Cox on the cast list, though in a minor role.

Visually then the special effects and practical effects in "Separation" were quite good and very convincing. The design of the apparitions - or whatever you'd call them - were very interesting and very detailed. And the special effects brought the movie to life in a very entertaining manner. And of course, a movie such as "Separation" needed to have proper special effects to function.

Director William Brent Bell definitely churned out a wholesome horror movie here with the 2021 movie "Separation". I was more than genuinely entertained by the movie.

The ending of the movie, however, was a bit rushed and lame actually. It would have been much more fulfilling if the writers had gone a whole different way with the ending, because what transpired on the screen as the movie came to an end just felt very anti-climatic.

All in all, then "Separation" is a watchable, enjoyable and entertaining horror movie. My rating of this movie lands on a six out of ten stars.

"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.

After reading some of the reviews I was expecting this movie to be terrible. I don't think this film is as bad as people are saying. It wasn't great but it doesn't deserve a 1 star rating. I thought it flowed well and I especially liked the ending. Not a film I'd watch again but it definitely wasn't a waste of time. 5 stars.

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.
