Severance (2006)

  Obviously this was supposed to go up yesterday but I fell asleep super early and didn't wake up until 2 a.m.  So now I'm writing it before I log on to work.

A group of employees on a team building exercise get a rather more pointed lesson in group dynamics when they mistakenly wander into a murder forest in Eastern Europe.  The bad guys are either escaped lunatics, the descendants of escaped lunatics, war criminals, or sexy nymphomaniac nurses, depending on which story you believe (not the last one).  Either way, heads are going to roll in the Sales Department.

Severance is billed as a horror comedy and it would make a pretty good don't-go-in-the-woods double feature with Hatchet.  Both are lean slashers with low production value and high body count.  Severance isn't quite as funny so I would watch it second to escalate the tension, especially if I was throwing a third movie in there.

Severance is currently streaming on Tubi.
