Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Excellent, smart action film.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

There are lots of detailed reviews and info on IMDb so I'll keep it short and sweet. If you're a fan of the genre and can watch this for free on a streaming service or TV channel then go for it. There's gore, some interesting concepts and characters. Its low budget and wont be to everyone's taste but if you accept it for what it is then you'll enjoy. I could pick It to bits but lets be honest this will never be a cult classic (sorry).It didn't blow my mind but it also didn't make me want to blow my brains out!Worth a watch for Zombie fans...

As a complete fanatic for zombie movies Severed is better than,shall we say Stripper Zombies or Redneck Zombies but nowhere near as good as my personal favorite Dawn of the Dead(1978).Yes it is cliché filled and predictable,but is well paced.I give it 8 stars for the standout performance of Sarah Lind and the fact she is absolutely HOT!Fighting caged zombies ala Day of the Dead and Land of the Dead is not an original idea as shown in Severed.Character "Carter" played well by JR Bourne seemed awfully similar "Carter J. Burke" in Aliens as the sniveling company man but was still entertaining.As usual the likable black guy "Mac" played by Julian Christopher is killed off.The action although well paced is also familiar to 28 days Later.Oh yeah did i mention Sarah Lind is HOT!!!

Well there are a few good things I can say for a free movie on YouTube, but having great gore ain't one of them. In one of the scenes where zombies are feeding on a corpse, there was an OBVIOUS time they used spaghetti. Yes, spaghetti. May I also add that was the only time there was gore in the movie. Characters swinging axes and various weapons never show the impact, but show profound amounts of blood. Acting was bad, the storyline at the cabin house was just dreadful, and I don't mean in a scary way... or maybe I do. The storyline overall was just milked--tree sap that induces zombie syndrome? Overused props and sets, the only fair actors were Carter, the paranoid person of the group, and Mac, the leader. Rita had clearly acted screams, and so did the first person who got infected. Terrible gaining in the footage, as well.

In a remote Canadian forest, a group of protesters raise a manifestation against the deforesting. When one worker uses his chainsaw to saw a large tree, its sap drops on his body and he immediately becomes a zombie. When the senior management of the company does not receive any information about the production, the owner and chairman sends his son Tyler (Paul Campbell) to the location to investigate what is happening. Tyler sees both the protester's camp and the sawmill completely abandoned and sooner he finds that the area is surrounded by zombies. He meets a group of survivors leaded by the foreman Mac (Paul Campbell), the protester Rita (Sarah Lind) and the coward biologist Carter (JR Bourne), and Carter explains that he was ahead of a genetic project to increase and improve the production of trees in the area, and the experiment unexpectedly had gone wrong transforming human beings into flesh-eater zombies. Their fight for survival begins."Severed" is an entertaining zombie movie, with an original and good beginning. The lead characters are well developed along the story, and with exception of Mac and Tyler, the others are basically scum. The plot point is the revelation of Rita that she had spiked the tree, but the movie becomes dull and boring when the survivors meet Anderson's team. The open conclusion is also very frustrating; maybe the intention of the writer is to give a hook for an unnecessary sequel, but it dos not work. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Infectados" ("Infected")
