Review of Separation

Yes, this movie definitely suffers from lazy writing. I could not get past the ridiculous scenes regarding the lock on the attic door. They show the lock being opened by the "spirit", but it's a keyless lock on the outside, which the girl could just turn and open herself if she wanted to. Then, in the very next scene, it magically changes to a keyed deadbolt, which makes more sense considering the father couldn't figure out how she got the door open if it was locked, then the very next scene, it magically changes back to a keyless lock that the babysitter turns shut, again from the outside. This is just one of the absurd inconsistencies of this movie. The soundtrack leaves much to be desired as well. It's a shame, because the overall concept had some potential.
