Severance is a 2006 slasher film co-written by Dr. Who and Torchwood writer, James Moran and stars some Brit favourites including Danny Dyer, Tim McInnerny and Andy Nyman. The film sees 7 employees of a multi-national weapons manufacturing company going into the deep, dark woods of Hungary on a team building exercise. What they don't know, is that there's a group of bloodthirsty maniacs lurking out in the woods. The film doles out horror and comedy in equal measure, and does a pretty good job of both. While there is some satirising of horror cliches, the laughs don't do much to diminish what is genuinely a gruesome, frightening film. Some of the deaths are pretty horrific and even seasoned horror fans will appreciate that this is an exhilarating addition to the horror genre in its own right.
Created in a petri dish in an underground lab, I was originally designed by scientists to carry out high-profile assassinations for the CIA. Unfortunately, something went wrong and my only skill was writing list-based articles. So now I do that instead.
