Product Description

Product Description

Suspenseful comedy thriller. Palisade Defense is a company that truly cares about its employees. When the company's European sales division exceeds expectations, the president decides that his dedicated employees deserve a relaxing, corporate team-building retreat. The trip takes a turn for the worst, however, when a deadly enemy infiltrates the retreat with the singular goal of ensuring that no one gets out alive.

From Amazon.co.uk

If a weekend of team building exercises in the woods sounds like your personal idea of torture, spare a thought for the poor pen pushers of Severance. As if the obligatory paintball and trust exercises weren’t enough, there’s a killer lurking outside their cabin--a killer holding a grudge against the unsuspecting employees of Palisade Defense...

Severance is one of the best British horror movies to come out of the last couple of years. It’s smarter than it has any right to be; screenwriter James Moran neatly sidesteps the numerous clichés littering the genre, balancing eye-watering gore with almost surreal humour, while Creep helmer Chris Smith’s assured direction sells even the daftest (and cruellest) moments.

Smith also draws great performances from a talented cast, including Dead Like Me’s Laura Harris, Black Adder’s Darling Tim McInnerny, and Danny Dyer of Mean Machine and The Football Factory.

Horror fans will lap this up; those lacking an iron stomach might watch some scenes from behind laced fingers, but will appreciate the fast-paced action and black humour nonetheless.--Sarah Dobbs

Black as pitch; this mid-noughties offering from director Christopher Smith involves a group of dysfunctional employees of Pallisade weapons manufacturers, who are sent to a remote forest in Hungary on a team-building weekend. Led by oily loser Tim McInnerney, the team soon realise that they are being hunted and their pursuers are using the very weapons that they are employed to sell. Toby Stephens is well-cast as the arrogant Harris; the execrable Danny Dyer plays oversexed drug-user Steve and an assortment of C-listers make up the ensemble cast.

The film treads an awkward line between comedy and horror - like Shaun of the Dead it occasionally melds the two genres successfully, but unlike Simon Pegg's modern classic it misses the target more than it hits it. McInnerney is as good as ever; Dyer is as obnoxious as ever, and the rest of the cast are merely `cannon-fodder'. It is hard to like any of the cast and difficult to feel any pathos as they are gradually slaughtered. The film does have a couple of great moments - such as when the team discover that they are eating a pie containing human flesh, or when McInnerney attempts to bully the Hungarian coach driver and is subsequently humiliated. Other than that it is pretty ordinary.

Honestly never laughed so much in my life! This film is just hilarious.. Danny Dyers character makes the film.. You need to see it to believe just how unbelieveably funny it is.. It is somewhat "daft" But thats what makes it great.. Im not usually a fan of comedy horrors but you just need to watch this! Guaranteed laugh out loud film! Xo

Danny Dyer. The name conjures up images of some of the greatest films set to grace the big screen of all time. Yeah... right. His films (post ‘The Business’ and that one about football hooligans that was kind of similar to the one Frodo was in have hardly set the Box Office ablaze). However, somehow he still gets works. And for a good reason – no matter how bad his films get, we – the people – still seem to watch them.

And that’s just the bad ones! ‘Severence’ is actually pretty good. So, er, we have a group of people (including Mr Dyer) on a trip to somewhere remote (do you care?) where they get picked off one by one. Yeah, it’s basically a ‘slasher’ movie only with white-collar office workers (if you can believe that Danny Dyer would ever be employed by any self respecting office) instead of dumb, blonde, American teenagers (although I should mention that one of Danny’s co-workers is actually American and blonde – I wouldn’t dare say ‘dumb’).

So, if you’ve seen one slasher film then you’ve basically seen them all – including this. Just don’t take it as an excuse not to indulge. Yes, it’s nothing new, but it sure is fun. The dialogue is snappy and the characters fun to watch. And, if that’s not enough, you have the gore. Again, for a low budget film with no stars (sorry, Danny – no offence, but you’re hardly Tom Cruise) the gore is nicely done and pretty sick (special mention to a missing leg scene).

And, if nothing else, there is possibly the most amusing use even of a rocket launcher (if not the sickest – technically) that even rivals the RPG fired in Chris Morris’ ‘Four Lions.’

Don’t expect a great movie with Oscar-worthy performances, or self-realising character arcs. Basically, if you like daft, cheesy slasher films then you should enjoy this. And if you also appreciate Danny Dyer’s ‘acting’ abilities then you’ll get double for your money.

A team-building weekend in the mountains of Eastern Europe goes horribly wrong for the sales division of the multi-national weapons company Palisade Defence.

They become the victims of a group of crazed killers who will stop at nothing to see them dead.....

By any standards,this movie is a horror, but my gosh, its laugh out loud funny from beginning to end, and for all the right reasons.

Smith has assembled a wonderful cast, and the characters they portray are the stereotypical people you see everyday at work. And this makes the movie all the more worthwhile.

Half of the crew are abhorrent, and the other half you root for, so there's no prizes for guessing who survives, it's pretty clear from the beginning who is going to live.

While its a funny movie, it's still pretty creepy in places, and the gore is brutal, but used sparingly, which comes as a refreshing surprise.

Dyer is excellent, although he plays the same character in literally everything he does, his presence is wonderful in this, and complements the others skills.

The rest of the cast are good also, McInnery is wonderful as the jobs worth team leader, and Harris as the girl power stereotype shines to.

Its a wonderful alternative to all the gorenography that was released around the same time, and proves that Smith was no one hit wonder with Creep.

The plot is nice and simple. A (predominantly English) sales division working for a multinational weapons corporation are sent on a team building exercise in Hungary only to find themselves stuck in a dense forest where they are being hunted by a merciless European gang.

While Severance doesn't do anything particularly wrong, there are of course a couple of faults. Any work environment has to have some pretty unlikeable characters so it's unavoidable to feel less sorry for some when the killings start. Toby Stephens is undoubtedly one of the finest actors around, but he's yet to play a role in a successful film that really does him justice. Utterly capable and ever reliable Tim McInnerny (of legendary Blackadder fame) is amiable enough, but it's Danny Dyer that gets most of the punchy one-liners as the part-druggie, part-chav cheeky chappie he's grown accustomed to playing. Thankfully, cute Laura Harris hasn't been cast as the 'is she or isn't she the villain all along?' as it's really time she ditched that and moved on.

The two distinct genres don't always make for a happy marriage and eventually the tone shifts over to deadpan. At least one line is stolen from elsewhere but there's a couple of shots that felt like homages rather than plagiarism. There's more than enough laughs and nasty moments to fill both audience preferences. The fast pace means Severance doesn't risk outstaying a welcome, the special effects team did a great job and the camera work is suitably snappy. The only real risk is hype as anyone expecting anything other than a night out with a few grim moments and some genuine belly laughs will leave wondering what the fuss is about. Try to avoid thinking about where these guys took their inspiration from too as that wouldn't do anyone any good either. A solid 3 star experience that hopefully has some extra bits come home-entertainment time.
