While he obviously loves his daughter, he cannot even properly function as an adult or even move past his one-time fame as an artist who created a wildly popular comic <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> that has fallen into oblivion.

No wonder he is starting to see dark figures in the shadow corners of his home, which is more of a cage for him at this point.<\/p>\n<p>Even when he takes on a basic inking position at an old friend\u2019s comic company, his frightening visions begin to dominate his work, his nights, his mind, and, to his shock, his own daughter.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168472\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-4.jpg 550w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-4-310x155.jpg 310w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-4-100x50.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So much to work with here. You have a guy suddenly at odds with nearly every aspect of his life while being solely responsible for a daughter he fears losing. He could be losing his mind, his grasp on reality. Perhaps his own sense of guilt and\/or shame is manifesting into a power that wants to destroy any chance at happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Or it could be the malevolent spirit of Maggie attempting to take away the daughter at any cost.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168477\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-horror-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-horror-3.jpg 550w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-horror-3-310x128.jpg 310w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-horror-3-100x41.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, \u201cSeparation\u201d goes with the handy option of a haunting. A haunting that employs all the visual\/shock elements you\u2019ve seen in the \u201cInsidious\u201d series or the \u201cSinister\u201d films or the seemingly endless \u201cThe Conjuring\u201d franchise as well as the crab walk from the original 1973 \u201cThe Exorcist\u201d with pinches from \u201cJacob\u2019s Ladder\u201d, \u201cThe Babadook\u201d, \u201cMama\u201d, and so many more films in recent memory.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168474\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-6.jpg 550w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-6-310x198.jpg 310w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-6-100x64.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The rehashing of elements done over and over before derail a film that, while not reinventing the wheel, could have taken roads lesser <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>led to give the audience a tale that should chill the heart of most parents and make others wonder if parenthood is right for them. What if the filmmakers worked the tale from the daughter\u2019s point of view? Maybe have Jeff question his sanity or his true desire to take on the mantle of responsibility.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168475\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-7.jpg 550w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-7-310x127.jpg 310w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-7-100x41.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeparation\u201d offers the viewer none of these. Instead, Jeff reacts instead of taking action. He is pushed into doing things simply to counter the actions of other characters in the film. Or, to put it another way, other characters drive him from plot point to plot point. What could\/should have been inner turmoil driving his actions to save his daughter and himself becomes a simple progression to a resolution that Jeff\u2019s boss alerts him to by way of outlining the script of the comic Jeff is currently drawing.<\/p>\n<p>The filmmakers behind \u201cSeparation\u201d show us they have the skill and budget to craft a dark tale of familial anger that reaches beyond the grave, but resort to tepid reuse of horror ideas and visuals that already make currently fright films feel like cookie cutter productions. So much of this movie promises a film that could rattle your brain as well as your nerves, but falls back on the easier options instead.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168470\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-2.jpg 550w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-2-310x207.jpg 310w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-2-100x67.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\"\/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168473\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-5.jpg 550w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-5-310x174.jpg 310w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Separation-2021-movie-5-100x56.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>On the upside, the film leans into the fact Jeff is a comic artist and uses lighting and framing in ways that make it feel like a graphic novel come to life. Performances are good even when the characters are not fully-rounded, with Violet McGraw as Jenny giving the best performance. The urban setting has a strong influence on the feel of the film, with a scene in a sunlit park feeling wonderfully surreal even before Jeff has a disconnection with reality.<\/p>\n<p>While \u201cSeparation\u201d is watchable for a light horror film, it remains frustrating that, with a little more effort, the film could have been one of the better mind trips of recent vintage. Perhaps if they do the sequel hinted at during the post-credit sequence, it can give these characters and\/or situation the intriguing spin this film deserved.<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
