A very funny comedy horror. Danny Dyer was brilliantly cast!

October 2, 2008A group of office workers on a team building exercise in the Hungarian woods get lost and end up being stalked by a band of militaristic psychopaths. This British horror comedy has one flaw, but unfortunately, it's a fatal one. It's not that funny. Danny Dyer has a smattering of ...( read more)

September 30, 2008Rather poor, not up to how I expected. Wasn't particularly scary, overtly gross (in a mediocre way) and not funny - I never enjoyed The Office style of humour.

June 19, 2008Serving up a healthy slice of black humor with its great gore sequences, Severance is wickedly amusing from start to finish. Although its plot suffers in places, the performances are excellent and the sharp wit is constant. Great movie.

June 13, 2008Brilliant horror comedy with some truly surprising moments. Not only does it provide some genuine scares, but it manages to turn your expectations on its ear throughout thanks to some masterful editing. The black comedy is darkly hilarious and while gory, never has to resort to '...( read more)

October 29, 2009I'm glad we can give half stars when rating films here because it makes life so much easier. Some films just fall into that netherland in between a 3 and a 4 and SEVERANCE is one of them. It isn't the laff riot that I expected but it does offer moments of dark humor though not a...( read more)

December 8, 2007Let me start by saying it drags before it gets to the bloody action.I didn't like the story & found this to be a stupid film.It suppose to have black humor but at times it feels like a serious horror film until the silly music takes over & then comes some silly moments that ruins things for me.When it gets intense,the unexpected humor takes over.
As a horror/comedy it didn't work for me.I did enjoy the gory moments. -
August 9, 2007Could you please tell me what was funny in this movie? Also, would you please tell me what was gory about this movie?! The only gore scenes in the movie are the guy who gets gutted in the beginning and the bear trap. That does not make a gory movie. I think some of you need to see Braindead (Dead Alive).

September 9, 2006This is the WORST film i have ever seen! It was gory without a cause, too horrific (and im a person who loves the brain scene in Hannibal!). There was no humour and just a pointless excuse to use gore and in a rubbish way anyway. A totally unbelievable storyline and characters, a waste of my time and money!
