    Just Throw Away Both Parents

    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.

    Lazy writing and directing

    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.

    Mean mom, muffin dad, no plot, twist comes out of no where.

    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.

    It was ok not theater worthy, some ok effects, decent acting, mediocre story

    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.

    Not bad

    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.

    • Goofs
      Around midway through the movie, the dad changes the deadbolt lock for a key-based lock. Later, after the police arrive, the daughter ends up going upstairs, the door's lock reverts back to the original style lock. The key lock is never seen for the rest of the movie.
