Separation 7/10

You know it's a potentially good horror movie when

1. It has actors such as Brian Cox in it, which could suggest the general acting is quite good. And it is.

2. When the movie doesn't really contains a bad guy. Sure the mom was kind of a bitch and her dad kind of an asshole. But they all really just wanted what was best for the child. But of course you're still rooting for the loser dad.

3. There's actually an interesting story wrapped around the horror. It's not about annoying teens running around getting killed. That's a thing I've never understood in many horror movies. A group of teens with awful chemistry that goes to a cabin and half of them can't stand each other. Who would ever go on a trip with people they don't like?? Sorry... just needed to get that outa my old system.

Back to "Separation". The bad part. Except for the first 10 seconds of the first scare, which was pretty creepy, the horror was the weak part of the movie. No.. the weakest part was the lame twist at the end. Still worth seeing for the overall story and the performances.

The rest wasn't good.
