Severance

Severance (2006)

First we need to state that I watched this just because Laura Harris was in it. With that said I went in with low expectations…which was probably a good plan.

The movie is about a group of people who work together and are sent out on a team-building weekend. The 5-star hotel resort turns out to be an abandoned shed in the woods. One of the guys claims he saw a man, of course no one believes him since he ate quite a few magic mushrooms a little bit earlier. Now you all know how this goes but there were some nice twists in this one.

It’s filmed in an interesting way, lots of cool angles and some of the acting is great. Laura of course is top class (even if she is the only one without an English accent) but some of the others are not in the same league. No one is really terrible though.
The effects are very B, very good B though. This movie was never meant as a horror movie, its mean to be B classed and they do a good job of drawing laughter out of the audience even in the oddest places.

All together I would give this a 4.5/10, it’s worth a watch if you get the offer but I wouldn’t buy it. Of course if you’re a fan of Laura (like me) it’s worth to see it just for her.
