What You Need To Know:
SEVERANCE is a horror slasher that tries to deliver as many laughs as scares. A few of the laughs, however, are grisly, such as a steel trap that takes off a man’s leg while his comrades clumsily try to get him out of it. Although some people survive by killing off the last of the vicious killers, the violence is very bloody and brutal. The character depth and acting, however, are a cut above other, similar horror movies being made today. Because of the gallows humor, violence, nudity, and foul language, MOVIEGUIDE® rates this movie excessive.
