Monday Movie Musings - Severance October 13, 2025

I understand there’s a popular TV show with the same name. This is for the horror movie starring someone who’s famous for being in East Enders.

Severance (2006)

7/10

Entertaining and humorous

Date Watched: Oct 1, 2023

I was entertained by this. The true horror will be felt by anyone who has actually had to go on a corporate team building retreat. The mere suggestion of being forced to play paintball with my co-workers was enough to send shivers down my spine.

There were a number of delightful gags at play here. The pacing was well done. I thought they did a good job of giving you a sense of each of the characters dispite having very little time to go into greater detail. I also thought they did a good job of balancing the suspence, horror, and humour.

The bad guys are faceless unknowns here, and I think that after watching every movie villan get their story told I think that was a good choice here.

Where this film really shines though, is in it’s attitude toward sex, which is downright refreshing.
