Buy 'em a Bacardi Breezer and they'll ride you like Seabiscuit.

my last preview of last week was Severance. it's not The Office meets Deliverance - it's The Office meets Friday the 13th. the meeting is uneven and lumpen. the defense-contractor ensemble are a charming group and neatly sketched. the plot is slasher-movie stupid, and there's plenty of gore. the use of music for misdirection is strong, and there are some nice surprises.

it's too much of a horror film to share with C, even though the severed limb humor is excellent.

i laughed a great deal, but it's no Shaun of the Dead. 3.5 out of five, good for a midnight movie.

i'm waiting for Black Sheep.

Defense contractor ensemble? Oh dear. That movie is now mandatory.

Thanks for the review. I was more interested in the film the way it was described by SIFF, as a thriller rather than a slasher movie. I meant to see it, but now I'm not so disappointed that I missed it.
