Severance

Having companies send departments out to team building weekends was something that became very popular in the 80s, but it truly didn't work when the bosses found out that the people that were being sent out didn't like each other. With this movie shows all the aspects that would be found on one of those weekends and then some. With Christopher Smith at the helm of this film the audience is taken on a mundane business trip that turns sour in the blink of an eye.
A global weapons manufacturer sends a sales group to a lodge in Hungary for a team-building weekend, but when a small group of vengeful killer commandos enters the scene survival becomes the main priority. The story keeps moving so that nothing gets stale and then when the killing starts everything is stepped up another notch. From the dark humor to the uncanny likenesses to real life the audience is given more parallels to real life than it can believe. The characters alone are so real to life that many people will recognize some one in the group that they either work with or personally know, which makes some of the situations even funnier.
Trying to come up with new ways to use the slasher idea in a film is becoming harder but when an idea takes an old concept in a new direction it deserves a chance. Having a group of people isolated for the killer to have a field day isn't a new idea but if the group, and situations, that you're dealing with are different you're bound to have some fun. If you like dark humor this is a movie for you, it has just the right amount of realism to make you wonder if there isn't some truth in the story.
