    I prefer my horror with a chaser of wit, and Severance, a modest but very lively British import, serves it up in harsh but high style.

    Definitely worth your time, if not your $9.50. In other words, wait a few months and definitely check it out as a rental.

    There are a few scares, but not enough to make up for the murky script.

    One of the funniest toungue-in-cheek horror films I've seen in a LONG time. The plot is pretty clever, and the cast is terrific. The story, while a social comment on defense contractors and the like, is great while not beating you over the head. Most definitely recommended.… Expand

    I was really excited to see this movie whenI first saw the trailer. Then after a few months I forgot about it and ended up watching it because someone else rented it. I can't say I was disappointed or overjoyed by the movie - a bad sign for a horror movie to have no effect on the viewer. It might have something to do with the fact that I am losing interest in the horror/comedy subgenre.… Expand
