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

Bruce Westbrook Houston Chronicle 06/08/2007
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. Go to Full Review
Tom Long Detroit News 06/08/2007
For the odd at heart, it will be worth the wait. Go to Full Review

Severance is still a tremendously entertaining film, by turns hilarious and horrific. Go to Full Review
Steve Newton Georgia Straight 07/06/2010
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. Go to Full Review

Kunyi K Nov 15 Very stupid and a waste of time. This movie us not woth even a millisecond of my time. Non sense. The director should please retire for this is not his calling. See more Leah B @LeahB3 Nov 4 Stupid and immature humor, like maybe middle school. I was expecting horror and dark comedy but I was bored and turned off in every way possible Danny dyer was so insipid and annoying. Laura Harris was beautiful but I hated this movie. See more xpig332 B Oct 10 27 minutes of nothing scary or funny and I was done. See more Mel S Mar 1 This show is absolutely brilliant. As an avid and non judgmental tv-show consumer, I typically can predict how things end. Here's my prediction: There are multiples layers under those 4 employees that are re-refining the 4 buckets on the floor under. At some point everything must be fully “clean” and, I wonder if that is where it all converges into the job of one person. If so what if that person could be people or "outies" playing some kind of game, a child born into lumen, or, the person themselves - using some app geared for "wellness." And by doing so they’ve mastered the 4 tempers and can't ever fully leave the severed world with the security systems in place. Of course, there will always be "malfunctions" in technology so there are aberrations like Reghabi but these things can be fixed. The show has a weird mix of science and religion, and although odd, we do "bow" to technology on a daily basis. So there's some validity and genius as to how they are associating the two. I can't think of a better way to start the social necessary commentary on technology and its place in society, than this show. Or...well I can, but I'm not the writer of this show. I'm already anticipating the way this group of writers will push the boundaries in further projects, if you're reading this I want in! Nice job!!! ; ) -Pro Neuroscience-TV Sleuth PS. This is my first TV show review ever so much respect. And to the eternal haters - be nice, relax, and go stretch your legs. See more Scott L @Scottylo Feb 13 I made it thru 3 episodes. I feel that this was a major achievement. OMG I've got a headache! See more Orlando C @orrman Feb 11 Jesus christ this movie was terrible. Not funny, not scary. Wth passes for entertainment with people now? See more Read all reviews
