Severance - Toronto International Film Festival

Severance has been described as "the office" meets "Deliverance", a comedy/horror/thriller where a group of British office workers go on a weekend retreat in the mountains of eastern Europe for a team building workshop only to be hunted by a bunch of psychotic ex-militants.

This film mixes the comedy and horror pefectly (unlike black sheep which I saw earlier). Both elements are balanced nicely without one over shadowing the other. The film also purposely goes in the opposite direction of every horror cliche without blatantly speaking about it (like in Scream). Good movie.
