‘Separation’: Twisty Troy Plays a Nightmarish Clown Puppet in ‘The Boy’ Director’s New Movie [Trailer]

Published

“Twisty” Troy James has lent his unique talents to a handful of horror projects in recent years, using his remarkable and unnerving contortion skills to bring terrifying creatures to the screen in “Channel Zero,” Hellboy, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and Anything for Jackson. James is back in Separation, the new horror film from director William Brent Bell (The Boy).

Meet Twisty Troy’s latest twisted creation in the official trailer below.

Separation will release in theaters on April 30.

In the film, “Eight-year-old Jenny (Violet McGraw) is constantly caught in the middle of the feuding between her lawyer mother Maggie (Mamie Gummer) and artist father Jeff (Rupert Friend). She leads a lonely but imaginative life, surrounded by puppets called “Grisly Kin”, which are based on the works of her father. When Maggie is tragically killed in a hit-and-run, Jeff and Jenny try to piece together a new life. 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 Jenny is the only person who can see them.”

“When the motives of the ghoulish creatures become clear, the lives of everyone are put very much in jeopardy.”

Nick Amadeus and Josh Braun wrote Separation.

In addition to The Boy and Brahms: The Boy II, William Brent Bell also directed The Devil Inside. One of his next projects is Orphan: First Kill, a prequel to the 2009 movie Orphan.

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
