Members (Danny Dyer, Laura Harris, Tim McInnerny) of the Palisades Defense Corp. sales group arrive in Europe for a team-building exercise. A fallen tree blocks the route, and they must hike to their destination. However, a psychotic killer lurks in the woods, and he has a horrible fate in mind for each of the co-workers.

Critics Consensus

A twisted and bloody spoof on office life, Severance nicely balances comedy and nasty horror.

2.5/4

The cast shows spark and gusto, especially Laura Harris as a vulnerable yet intrepid survivor type and Danny Dyer as a bent druggie who straightens out long enough to fight back.

For the odd at heart, it will be worth the wait.

3/4

It is wonderfully wry, and contains some great gags.

5/5

Severance is still a tremendously entertaining film, by turns hilarious and horrific.

4/5

Discriminating horror fans should also note that it's the most exhilarating fright flick to hit theatres since last year's The Descent.

Severance is a story of terrible things that couldn't have happened to funnier people.

This was not good. It was too over the top for me, namely the ending. And not in a way that's "Oh wow! That was surprising." but instead in a way like "This is ridiculous!". The concept seemed sound but in the end the execution wasn't good. Plus it wasn't scary and slashers gotta be at least creepy.

I like that this film was a bit of Horror and comedy, all shot in the Hungarian woods but sometimes the comedy was just a wit too whack and the story was so totally unbelievable, even for a Horror.

So much better than it should of been, It's just your typical Slasher film but with dark British humour which makes the film even better, Danny Dyer was great and very funny, It is predictable from start to finish as we know who's going to die next, It's gory, Nothing new but it's fun.
