Severance - Movie Review


Mr Kong went to see a new British comedy-horror-thriller movie on Saturday called Severance. It was a sort of Deliverance meets Shawn of the Dead meets a corporate team weekend away. Mrs Kong passed, it really wasn't her kind of movie.

I thought it was very well done, scary but also very funny in parts. If you've ever been to a company team building exercise you will definitely nod your head and smile at some of the situations they find themselves in (boot-licking weak boss, the company cheerleader colleague, lousy accomodation, forced participation in innane games)...

... familiar territory that is except for the crazy, homicidal, gun & knife toting Eastern European insane asylum inmates on the loose...

Its definitely a good watch if you like your gore & scares mixed in with Britis irreverent humour. I was surprised how good it was as I expected a trashy B-movie. Thumbs up!
