Working nine to five is a real killer, but team-building holidays can sometimes be even worse.
A coach lurches out of the hustle and bustle of Budapest and heads towards the mountainous border. Aboard are seven employees of the international weapons manufacturer Palisade Defence, global suppliers of innovative weaponry for the past 75 war-torn years. The lucky group are being treated to a team-building weekend at the company’s newly built luxury spa lodge by their president, George Cinders.
But things quickly go awry as the colleagues find themselves faced with the chop when their corporate weekend is sabotaged by a deadly enemy. Forget office politics, only the smartest will survive this bloody office outing.

Reviews
The Office Era (mid 2000s)
"Severance is a darkly comedic horror film directed by Christopher Smith that blends office satire with slasher tropes. The story follows a group of corporate employees on a team-building retreat in Eastern Europe that quickly turns into a nightmare when they’re hunted in the woods. What makes the film stand out is its shifting tone—moving from awkward humor and workplace banter to sudden bursts of violence—while poking fun at corporate culture and the absurdity of team-building exercises gone wrong. The Blu-ray from Magnolia Home Entertainment offers a solid presentation that captures the film’s mix of scenic outdoor locations and gritty horror elements. The improved clarity helps balance its comedic and brutal sides, making both the visual gags and the more intense moments land effectively. As a release, it gives the film a proper home in high definition, appealing to fans of mid-2000s horror-comedy and highlighting its place as a clever, slightly underrated entry in the genre."
— Jaume M. (5/5)
Severance (Not the Show)
"Feels more like Saw/Hostel, than a standard slasher. The humour is very specific, but I do like how the characters all feel different."
— Viktor A. (3/5)

If you thought your boss was terrible. . .
"Great edition chalk full of amazing extras. The newly commissioned art looks stellar as well. It's and entertaining splatter fest that'll keep you on the edge of your seat while laughing the whole time. Just remember, your job couldn't possibly be as bad as this."
— Dennis K. (5/5)
A fun little British flick

— Charles S. (5/5)
