Severance Is A Gory/Funny Blast!
By Dennis Dermody
Opening Friday is Severance, which is The Office meets The Hills Have Eyes, when six members of the European sales team of Palisades Defense are sent to a “team-building” retreat deep in the wilderness of Eastern Europe only to find themselves hunting targets of crazed killers. Directed by Christopher Smith (who made the twisted treat Creep), it’s good, gory fun, with plenty of laughs at the expense of the obnoxious workers, and some nasty shocks along the way. Particularly funny is Danny Dyer, as the druggy slacker of the group.
