... View MoreThere are so many comedy/horror films like this out there, but very few are able to find the right balance of humour, gore and scares. 'Severance' is one of those few that gets it spot on. Laughs are plenty, there is enough gore to satisfy any horror fan, and it isn't short of things to make you jump either. Okay, it's been done before a million times over. The plot is predictable and lacks originality. That's not the point. This is a highly entertaining film, and that's all it seeks to be.'Severance' is nothing groundbreaking and nothing we haven't already seen before, but it's still a great piece of entertainment.
... View MorePossibly thinking of "Shaun of The Dead", which is truly one of the kind, I finished this film silent with disappointment. A good mix of horror and comedy, for cry out loud! There are indeed a few funny scenes, especially at the beginning, and that's it. Humour never finds its way into the core story, and barely on the periphery. Some viewers may find some crude murders made fun of to be their idea of being funny. Imagine a man hung up-side-down gets slashed slowly and cruelly until his head is covered by the stream of his own blood, with cheerful music in the background. On the horror side, this film is a lot more successful than the comical one. When one must blend a sense of humour to a horrific situation, the story must be satirical, creative, and sharp as Hell. This film is not anywhere near that mark. Usually the little British films do very well in telling a good, quiet story that means a lot more. Christopher Smith should learn from those films. Before "Shaun of The Dead", there have been the likes of "An American Werewolf In London" and "Tremors" to look up to. Even New Zealand's "Black Sheep", which was released in the same year, has a few valuable lessons to offer. People who like this film seem to be anti-establishment at the outset. Killing a snobbish English person seems the delight of their day. So, keep hitting a class you so dislike, a business you so hate, and a country you so mock, it could be funny in some dry lands.
... View MoreIt's a fairly entertaining film, but it falls well short of its stated aim of being the next "Shaun of the Dead". I'm not sure whether that's down to the writer or the director.In short, the film wants to be a comedy horror, in the vein of Shaun of the Dead, but it fails at this task utterly. It fails because , as far as I could tell, it forgets one thing.The horror has to be camp and somewhat unbelievable - cartoonish, if you will.Severance instead presents its horror as gory and realistic, which is fine in a horror film, but not in a horror-comedy. As a result of the grim and realistic violence portrayed, the comedy comes across as a weak second best. An also-ran of movie traits.Not that the comedy is very good. It's weak, making you chuckle a bit here and there, but you find it difficult to laugh properly because of the grim horror that either precedes or follows it.The actors do their best with the script but they are overwhelmed, frankly. Their characters are pretty much all unlikeable for one reason or another and its difficult to feel any kind of connection to any one of them, especially the pair you are supposed to connect with.So, as a comedy-horror it's a failure. But it is entertaining if you forget the comedy aspect and treat it as a simple horror story. Then it becomes more palatable, though still nothing special.If there's nothing better on and you're particularly bored, then give it a go. Just don't believe the hype.
