User Review

Fantastic Film!

Rating: 10/10


I saw a screening of this film recently and loved it! It is truly
original and one of the best horror/black comedy films I have ever
seen.

The story is gripping and the cast is excellent – some of the finest
British actors give star performances – in particular a stellar
performance from Danny Dyer.

Normally this type of film can be all blood and guts, but Severance
manages to combine the horror element (ie enough blood & gore!) with a
gripping story line which keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout
the film.

You will be either clutching the person next to you or howling with
laughter as the filmmakers take you on an extreme roller-coaster ride.
I will be surprised if this film is not a huge hit!!
