I personally am not usually a fan of horror-comedy films and especially British horror movies as all apart from a select few are terrible in my opinion. Severance is a refreshing take on the horror-comedy genre and has a sublime combination of essential elements of horror such as gore, jump scares, unpredictability and well done humour which has genuine laughable moments and made me root for certain characters. The majority of the cast's acting is strong and characters can be related to which allows you to connect with the film. The plot is somewhat different than the obligatory 'people in a cabin in the woods' that you might expect and has a relatively uplifting ending.

i enjoyed this film, I've seen it three times, i'm a big Danny Dyer fan, so i had an idea what it would be like. It starts like all good horror films, with seemingly innocent characters going off on a trip. Its quite slow at first, which lets you get sued to the characters, then slowly and frighteningly bad things happen, which gets faster and faster etc.. like all horror films, there a few twists. spoiler alert the maniacs are quite good, the effects believable, and painful looking , bits of humor,and quite believable how the characters turn on each other when in distress. if you like budget horror films and Danny Dyer, then you'll like this. Tim Mcinerry ( capt darling)of black adder fame is in it as well.

I watched this movie the other night and I enjoyed it but after reading the reviews on here I thought it would be much better. The first half is actullay quite funny as this movie is kind of a horror comedy. The acting is good the script is great and so is the direction.This movie is about a group who are on a business retreat. They think they are going to a fancy resort but what they find is somewhat a shack in the woods. They get as comfortable as they can there but soon notice something is after them when they start to go missing one by one.This is definitely one of the better British movies I have seen. It is entertaining and pretty bloody. Worth a watch for any fans of horror movies.

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.
