Horror Movie Month - Severance (2006)

Severance
The Stars - Toby Stephens, Laura Harris, Danny Dyer
The Gist - A sales group - employeed by an international weapons company - head out for a team building retreat weekend at a swanky and deluxe new lodge in the country in Hungary. After a misunderstanding with their bus driver, they are left to walk through the woods and come across a lodge that is neither swanky or deluxe. They hole up there as a group of psychotic killers stalk and murder them.
The Scares - Well, not really. It's your typical, jumpy sort of movie. However, there is a black sense of humor involved in the project that is refreshing. For the most part, the humor keeps the story going when it turns into a typical slasher fest, which is really what it is. Not to say it's not enjoyable at times, it's just nothing original or special.
The Body Count - Approximately 213, give or take.
The Grade - C
