Word is that Severance has comedy reminiscent of The Office and scares and laughs similar to Shawn of the Dead. If either of those things are true then Severance could be a sleeper comedy hit this summer. Check out the synopsis and the first 3 minutes below. Severance hits theatres starting May 18th.
SEVERANCE:
Working nine to five is a real killer, but teambuilding holidays can sometimes be even worse. A coach lurches out of the hustle and bustle of
Budapest and heads towards the mountainous border. Aboard are seven employees of the international weapons manufacturer Palisade Defence, global suppliers of innovative weaponry for the past 75 war-torn years. The lucky group are being treated to a team-building weekend at the company’s newly built luxury spa lodge by their president, George Cinders. But things quickly go awry as the colleagues find themselves faced with the chop when their corporate weekend is sabotaged by a deadly enemy. Forget office politics, only the smartest will survive this bloody office outing.
