When an international firearms group rewards their European sales department with a team-building weekend in the mountains in Eastern Europe, it seems to be an enjoyable journey.

Nice video that comes out pretty well.

Brits are often a bit better at mixing horror with comedy than the Americans, if you ask me. It all starts quite nicely with some successful humor and a nice introduction to the characters.

However, as the film progresses, the humor fades into the background. A somewhat predictable story follows, but contains enough successful horror elements. Although the balance is a bit out of the movie at some point, it all remains quite entertaining to watch.

Nice gore, quite a bit of action and even some tension ensure that it all looks good. It is certainly not super, but there are few or no disturbing elements and that is already a pretty big plus.

3.0*

Little fish or meat.

Sporadically, a successful joke bubbles up to the surface, but in the end I was disappointed that the really comic part in the film only comes out sparingly. So there remains mainly a lot of average horror puha, which gets more and more bogged down in poverty. The film doesn't do much more than plod around lost in well-known terrain, and as soon as the finish line comes in sight it actually takes on more and more annoying forms.

It's a shame, because it started out promising, with some successful, humorous notes here and there. Dyer also played a nice role, although in the end I didn't really get the best out of it, I had the impression. The level of the remaining beef cattle ranges from pitifully bad to annoyingly clownish. The killers, who appear in groups, were also dull figures.

So disappointing, especially with the knowledge that Smith is behind the directing. Even though that other horror film of his wasn't too successful either. 2.0*.

Well okay.

I'm not a big fan of this kind of flat humor. This film doesn't really change that either. Horror comedies themselves are sometimes funny. Scary Movie, for example, I just got through.

Severance sometimes feels a bit cheap. It's all so simple and not menacing. Sometimes there were 1 or 2 exciting scenes and for the rest it is plain humor. The female with the blond short hair was very annoying and was not funny at all.

Only at the end is it a bit more entertaining with the occasional funny thing. My reasonable expectations were not fulfilled
