Members (Danny Dyer, Laura Harris, Tim McInnerny) of the Palisades Defense Corp. sales group arrive in Europe for a team-building exercise. A fallen tree blocks the route, and they must hike to their destination. However, a psychotic killer lurks in the woods, and he has a horrible fate in mind for each of the co-workers.

Critics Consensus

A twisted and bloody spoof on office life, Severance nicely balances comedy and nasty horror.

2.5/4

The cast shows spark and gusto, especially Laura Harris as a vulnerable yet intrepid survivor type and Danny Dyer as a bent druggie who straightens out long enough to fight back.

For the odd at heart, it will be worth the wait.

It is wonderfully wry, and contains some great gags.

Severance is still a tremendously entertaining film, by turns hilarious and horrific.

4/5

Discriminating horror fans should also note that it's the most exhilarating fright flick to hit theatres since last year's The Descent.

Severance is a story of terrible things that couldn't have happened to funnier people.

One of the best British horror-comedies you'll ever see. 20 years later. Still hilarious and scary!

Stupid and immature humor, like maybe middle school. I was expecting horror and dark comedy but I was bored and turned off in every way possible Danny dyer was so insipid and annoying. Laura Harris was beautiful but I hated this movie.
