(1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 68% Fresh Page   1   D+ "Smith can't find a tone to settle on here, and his imagination for the macabre is limited to the torture-porn aesthetics that have long overstayed their cinematic welcome."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf C+ ""Severance" is just enough of an exploitation satire (think, Roger Corman in his heyday) to hold your interest beyond its gratuitous knife, blood and breast recipe for suspense and shock."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Full of energy and appealing recklessness even when the jokes are obvious, the movie isn't so tedious as suggested by its opening scene -- big-breasted women running in abject terror from men with guns."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/5 "Sitting through its increasingly sluggish pace feels like, well, work."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 3/4 "...it's not difficult at all to imagine audiences going crazy over some of this stuff (the "bear trap" sequence is an obvious highlight)."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "Like a lesser '80s slasher movie, Severance is fine while it lasts, and forgettable once it's over."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3/4 "Will surely make you laugh, but the guffaws are few and far between. That's hardly a caveat when you consider the statement made here, though..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. B "In the sea of blood and gore rolling down theatre aisles nowadays, this cheeky, scary horror farce proves that the comic slasher movie isn't dead yet."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "The pacing is uneven, leading to a bumpy road where laughter and gore sometimes complement each other and sometimes are at odds. This makes Severance more of a mixed bag than an unqualified success."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 5/5 "Full of wonderful set-pieces of both comedy and horror, Severance is a remarkable success..."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi 2/5 "click for full review [Greek]"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis "[O]ne of the more outrageous black comedy/horror flicks I've ever seen..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1.5/4 "Severance's lame jokes are fully formed, something that can't be said about its political critique"   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4/5 "Severance is how Office Space would’ve turned out had Michael Bolton and Samir not been able to take their frustrations out on the office printer."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3.5/5 "An entertaining mix of raucous humour and outrageous gore. Plus an intriguingly strong (and unsubtle) political message."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B "A Cold War postmortem that shades the triumph of the West with the bloody mess we seem to have inherited."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "The Brits have been coming up with some creative horror films, both serious and humorous. Severance continues this push of the creative."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 4/5 "An old-school slasher flick with a really quick sense of broad British wit, a whole lot of energy, and a seriously strong cast."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg 6/10 "For the most part, the scary parts are the scary parts, the funny parts are the funny parts, and never the twain meet."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 68% Fresh Page   1
