Too much of everything

The Age of Commercialism

So much average

The acting in this movie is really good.

There are so many comedy/horror films like this out there, but very few are able to find the right balance of humour, gore and scares. 'Severance' is one of those few that gets it spot on. Laughs are plenty, there is enough gore to satisfy any horror fan, and it isn't short of things to make you jump either. Okay, it's been done before a million times over. The plot is predictable and lacks originality. That's not the point. This is a highly entertaining film, and that's all it seeks to be.'Severance' is nothing groundbreaking and nothing we haven't already seen before, but it's still a great piece of entertainment.

I found this movie very fresh. I haven't seen anything like this in a while. Bunch of people in the woods not aware of what is going to happen. It had a nice ensemble, with characters of all kinds. Each actor is suited in his/her role. But yes, i felt that they could have done better in mixing up the funny part and the horror part more effectively. No big deal, i enjoyed it for most part. Talking about Christopher Smith, i am starting to like his work even more now. I first saw Black Death, then Triangle and then Creep and i found them to be very engaging. So clearly he is doing pretty well scaring us. This one also adds up as his fine work. I hope we see more such films again.

Severance is a gory film with some fairly intense horror but it's also very funny. The actors which include Toby Stephens, Laura Harris, Danny Dyer and Tim Mcinnerny all seem to be enjoying themselves playing memorable roles as work colleagues who find themselves in a desperate situation. This film is a rare comedy/ horror that works as both and can join Shaun of the Dead, Evil Dead 2 and American Werewolf in London for successfully managing to both scare and be funny. Severance is entertaining from beginning to end and very rewatchable.An all-round stimulating thrill ride: gore, thrills, suspense, "whodunnit", laughs and fine acting from all the cast. A rare movie that actually manages to keep its audience interested throughout its duration. You really can't blink or you may miss a laugh or scare! A solid popcorn flick, best watched late at night, lights down.You shall be Entertained!

The genre of self-referential tongue-in-cheek slashers has worn out its welcome a long time ago, but luckily "Severance" often takes breaks from being so damn clever and brings some actual thrills. The first half hour is pretty boring and filled with lame attempts at comedy, but afterwards it actually gets pretty exciting. The tension is gradually built up, and around halfway you're just totally sucked into this movie. This is mainly due to the characters, who are all pretty likable (to the standards of the genre, at least). You actually give a damn who lives and who dies, which is very rare is a slasher. The story also takes a lot of unexpected twists and turns, it's a pretty cleverly written movie. "Severance" is by no means great cinema, but it does seem to achieve whatever it wanted to achieve. Fun watch.
