NEW YORK (CNS) While certainly deserving of a place in the annals of schlock horror, “Separation” (Open Road) fails to secure entree into the pantheon of the genre.
Horror
Jenny (Violet McGraw), an eight-year-old girl, is caught up in a custody battle between her parents high-powered lawyer Maggie (Mamie Gummer) and struggling graphic artist Jeff (Rupert Friend). Emotionally scarred by her parents battling, the little girl leads a lonely but imaginative life, surrounded by horrific puppets called Grisly Kin, which are based on the works of her father.
When Maggie is killed in a hit and run, Jeff tries to step up as Jenny s only parent. But when Maggie s father (Brian Cox) sues for custody, and babysitter Samantha (Madeline Brewer) tries to be the new woman of the house, life in their Brooklyn townhome takes a dark turn. The puppets and frightening characters come to life and at first, Jenny is the only person who can see them. When the motives of the ghoulish creatures become clear, everyone is in jeopardy.
