    few films in the zombie genre achieve what Severed does: solid acting, great gore, awesome zombies, engaging screenplay, visual consistency. a must see for zombie fans

    Horror Not to Miss List Commentary:
    This is one of the best zombie movies you've never heard of. We get everyth...( read more)ing here - from gruesome outbreak, characters we'd like to see live, scenes where an audience member can actually be afraid of a lumbering dead thing, gore galore, gritty but not annoying (actually quite effective) cinematographic aesthetic, ambiguous/down ending, a survivor camp of grizzled brutal men, and an underlying corporate conspiracy that doesn't eat away camera time but nicely explains these zombies, Severed has everything a solid zombie movie needs.

    Hey this was slightly different. A little diff, idea on the whole zombie cult. Nicely done actually. Just enough story to keep you wanting more and just enough gore to not completely make you wanna hurl. The cast was ok and I was surprised this low budget movie keep me wanting more.

    Like a bad Sci Fi Channel original movie

    It'd be good if it was a comedy. Everything about this movie was laughable.

    This movie had tons of potential to be a really good zombie film. The make up and effects were done fairly well but the movie seem to move rather slowly. There really wasn't a climax or anything earth-shattering. This is a decent film to check out if you have seen just about ever...( read more)ything there is to see and want to kill some time.

    A pretty sweet zombie flick

    A pretty good zombie movie i thought. Gore, decent acting, poor plot but a good carryout really. As far as zombie movies go this movie really hit the right spot i feel.

    Know when you read this though i am a huge zombie adict.
