What critics compared Severance to
The Hunt reminded me, with its human hunting, vicious glee and abundance of hideous deaths, of 2006 British horror comedy Severance .
The gonzo violence brings to mind Christopher Smith's 2006 horror comedy Severance and the stinging humour is akin to Jordan Peele's Get Out .
I thought “Creep” was a good concept but pretty painful to sit through while “Severance” was an underrated horror comedy that suffered from comparisons to “Shaun of the Dead.”
Chris Smith’s first two films, Creep (2004) and Severance (2006), have both been featured at past FrightFests, so having as this year’s festival opener the world premiere of his third film just adds to the sense of homecoming.
Triangle is a mind-bending thriller by British director Christopher Smith (Creep, Severance) starring an all-Australian cast (albeit with American accents).
After his passable, low-budget horror movie, Severance , the British writer-director Christopher Smith takes a big leap forward with this clever and compelling occult thriller.
All of which would make a terrific thriller in its own right, but Smith (who directed the pitch-black 2009 horror comedy, Severance) has greater ambitions for his narrative than just cheap thrills, however well-executed those thrills may be.
