Jenny’s life is a just a bit shitty. Her unemployed father once had a popular puppet show with his characters the “Grisly Kin” but now he just sits around sketching and refusing to grow up. Her mother, Maggie, is a lawyer who’s barely home and when she is, her and her husband mainly argue. An accident leads to Jenny getting hurt and Maggie wanting sole custody of her child. It ain’t looking good for Jeff until a hit and run takes her out of the picture. The initial grief sets in but things get stranger as a presence begins showing itself taking the form of Jeff’s creepy-ass characters. Outside of the spooky weirdness slowly growing in the Brooklyn townhome, Jenny’s grandpa (Brian Cox) is picking up his daughter’s fight and looking to get his granddaughter in his custody. Jenny’s babysitter has her sights set on a future with Jeff as her man and it doesn’t necessarily have a spot for Jenny in it. As things start pointing towards the direction of something beyond the veil, Jeff begins to think his wife’s spirit is sticking around to finish the separation (THAT’S THE NAME OF THE MOVIE!!!!). There’s an ayahuasca spirit chat, a well-realized boogeyman and a collection of actors all taking this shit seriously. It may hit more than a few familiar notes and the ending is a bit shaky but it’s an enjoyable journey nonetheless.
