It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

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.

Munsters out there already know that I am not into zombie flicks, some are good but mostly it's zombie after human again and again. Here we have the same, zombies keep attacking, and it's the new breed of zombies, the fast ones, although they cripple they are fast. But for me there isn't much in Severed. Especially on the end when they ran into another bunch of survivors. You could see the love between the son and the activist coming miles away, but would you fall in love the day after your boyfriend was killed, the slut! It isn't even gory, oh yeah, the blood splatters allover the screen but off camera. The only gory parts are the parts when the zombies rip open some humans and eat their intestines. But it's better done years ago, you know, the living dead trilogy. And by using the same affect on the camera as in 28 days/weeks later doesn't help the movie too. But still I gave it a 4 the editing. If you are into zombies this is for you, otherwise don't bother.

I was expecting another straight to DVD turkey, but surprisingly not. Generic storyline but a good original setting with high production values, good acting and good casting. If the plot had a bit more padding or there was a bit more to the story it would be getting close to being quite good. As it is, it felt like it would have made a great X-Files episode similar to the lumberjacks one they did make. Yeah you've seen it all before and yeah the characters do some dumb things, but on the whole it ticks most of the boxes. The zombies in particular are very good, convincing and scary. I've seen better but I've seen much worse. Zombie fans will enjoy

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")
