I have seen this movie at the fantasy filmfest 2006 as the official opener. I must say it was very enjoyable yet somewhat silly at times. Some people claimed it was the weakest opening movie in the history of the fantasy filmfest (which celebrated its 20th anniversary this year).
*Mild spoilers ahead* (I wouldn't call them spoilers, but some could.)
The story is nice but not very new: Teambuilding weekend for the employees of a weapons manufacturer. They come to an eastern europe country, the road is blocked, bus driver refuses to continue driving and form then on they decide to walk by foot and we all know it's no good. So basically you might think it's one of these "Alone in the woods" movies, a group of people out in the wilderness, getting killed one by one. And you're right.
Severence is indeed a party movie, if you liked Braindead or Monster Man you'll most likely enjoy it as well. However it ain't a spectacular movie like you've never seen before, it's like Shawn of the Dead meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre with blood and gore. Not for the faint of heart but enough comedy elements to maybe get your significant other to watch this with you.
