Rarely do horror movie buffs, such as myself, get to partake in the good fun of mixing dread of the workplace with the thrill of gore. So you can imagine my delight at the release of Severance. Dry humor, bloody murder, and the all too familiar team building exercise.
Isn’t it fascinating that the depiction of office workers in every movie bears an uncanny resemblance to our own office mates? Either we are all much less original than we think or the monotony of the office transforms normal human beings into demented versions of the Stepford wives (and husbands).
Released last year, this film is wildly entertaining on the horror movie scale. Meaning, if you love scary movies, as I do, you will find an appreciation for this one despite its shortcomings. A viewing of Severance might make for an excellent team builder at the office!

My first 5 Star wild and enjoyable Slasher film. Office workers are in Europe for a meeting with arms dealers, they came across a tree in the road, they get off the bus and the driver leaves them in the middle of no where, they think they will hike to a hostel, wrong, they start being eliminated one by one.

You know, I have to tell you, I really enjoy this blog and the insight from everyone who participates. I find it to be refreshing and very informative. I wish there were more blogs like it. Anyway, I felt it was about time I posted, I?ve spent most of my time here just lurking and reading, but today for some reason I just felt compelled to say this.
