Anyone else seen this brilliant film?  Screw IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, they don't know shit about movies.  Severance is EPIC; it contains the perfect blend of dark humor, suspense, and gore.  For the American audience, it will be on DVD soon, or you could watch it on Veoh, which is what I did (yes, I know I'm a bad person, but I WILL be buying the DVD when it comes out).



Don't mind the German text, it's the only image I could find on a site that allowed hotlinking.

That picture sure is fun, in a grotesque way of course, haha...

Wierd, how much it looks like a horror, when suddenly some scene happens that makes fun of it instead... and so forth... heh

Yeah, it's a lot darker than almost every other comedy I've seen.  Some parts are actually scary/disturbing, too.

Hmm, that kinda ruins the fun then... :(
Not that i can't take disturbing scenes, but that's not what i look for what i expect a movie to laugh at all the way through...

Don't worry, there's plenty of good laughs around every corner.  Most of the scary or gory scenes usually involve one or two gags in the process.  Like, (spoiler in small font) one of the murderers is about to set someone on fire, but none of his matches will light.
