Severance
(2006) ***1/2
I wanted to love this horror-comedy about a teambuilding retreat gone drastically awry, but despite good acting and entertaining dialogue (and one hilarious boob moment), there wasn't quite enough comedy or horror for my taste.
it's a slasher flick -- few traditional slashers are actually *scary*. almost none of the friday the 13ths, almost none of the elm streets. only the most recent texas chainsaws.
so yeah, if the gags don't work on you, i can see being underwhelmed.
obviously, they completely worked on me. but that's why i have my own review.

So funny! We must have been watching it at almost the same time...ha!
I would think that was the perfect "biddy" amount of horror!
I thought I was seeing double. This was a fun film, glad to see its finally getting some attention.
i know, riot! somehow, not quite enough horror for this biddy, no objection to the quality, but it was kind of spread out.
But there's a boob moment! You said!
i can vouch for the boobs.

And a "hilarious boob moment" didn't push the review higher?? I can hardly believe it!
