Critics Consensus

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

Employees on a team-building exercise encounter trouble. Attempts a "comedy-horror" movie.

Seemingly a fantastical look at manipulating memory to separate work/life realities, the shallow story fails to present interest in either of these lives. Would have been much cooler to present an office life as rich as The Office, and then have those people go home to an equally detailed home life, which they can't remember at work. (Think of Total Recall, Matrix....) Giving up after 4 episodes not amounting to much. Best part is the opening credits.

Add another Apple TV disaster to the pile along with Mosquito Coast, Physical, Invasion, Foundation, Swan Song, and did anyone remember AfterParty and Suspicion?

Gory, funny and frightening. The premise isn't that original, but the execution is mighty good, plus it succeeds in making you actually care for the characters. Well worth the watch!

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.
