Michael Ledo This isn't the worst zombie film made in the US, it just tries to be. The movie starts out on an island where there is a battle between loggers and environmentalists. One of the loggers hits a spike while cutting down a tree. The recoil from the chainsaw cuts his shoulder. Some of the sap from the experimental tree gets in the wound and BINGO! You suddenly have a flesh eating zombie.The scene quickly moves to a board of director scene who haven't heard from the logging camp. There is a long dialogue scene between the owner of the company and his son while they are playing snooker. It is badly written, badly acted, and badly directed, pretty much like the rest of the movie. The owner wants his son to learn the business so he goes out to the camp, which he finds deserted and he is chased by zombies, who at times can run fast, and other times move like they have a broken leg. Go Figure.Meanwhile back in the lab a clumsy bio-chemist cuts himself and gets some of the evil sap in his blood. He goes on to bite the neck out of his partner. Then we have the lab covered in plastic. A man in protective gear is taking pictures of the scene at the same time two guys in suits are standing there. Dad decides his son is in danger and the decision is made to lock down the logging camp, even though no one really knows what is going on.Anyway the plot at this point becomes even more pointless. Zombies do not require head shots to kill...so are they really zombies?
ikeybabe This was just awful - typical zombie flick with nothing new or exciting or revealing to add. The acting was mostly horrible. The only one who could call himself an actor was the guy who played Mac. Everyone else sounded fake. The script was inconsistent and just boring. The gore was decent, but the whole outpost of men who gave up on escape and was content to do their zombie games was just stupid. The cowardly Carter couldn't get eaten soon enough, but his dialogue was barely believable. I could have watched something worthy of at least 2 stars. This flick isn't even worthy of the zombie genre. It was so lacking in everything - originality, quality performances, decent dialogue or even an attempt at being watchable.
easyaddresstoremember Well there are a few good things I can say for a free movie on YouTube, but having great gore ain't one of them. In one of the scenes where zombies are feeding on a corpse, there was an OBVIOUS time they used spaghetti. Yes, spaghetti. May I also add that was the only time there was gore in the movie. Characters swinging axes and various weapons never show the impact, but show profound amounts of blood. Acting was bad, the storyline at the cabin house was just dreadful, and I don't mean in a scary way... or maybe I do. The storyline overall was just milked--tree sap that induces zombie syndrome? Overused props and sets, the only fair actors were Carter, the paranoid person of the group, and Mac, the leader. Rita had clearly acted screams, and so did the first person who got infected. Terrible gaining in the footage, as well.
iamroont i can see a lot of people didn't like it, but i thought Severed was pretty damn good. not the best, but not as bad as everyone is saying. and certainly a lot better then some of the other zombies movies released in the last 5 years. the effects are pretty cheesy at time, and some parts of the plot are sort of ridiculous, but you gotta expect that from this kind of movie. while none of the characters stood out too much,i thought they showed a lot of how people would act and react in such a situation. and i can see them as real people, joe and jane anybody. not like, brad pitt or someone. the zombies were a bit more... growly... then i prefer, but their walking, attacking and eating was bloody and believable. im giving it a high vote because i had expected way less and was pleasantly surprised.
