Severance

Working nine to five is a real killer, but team-building holidays can sometimes be even worse. A train 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.

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.

“A motley group of employees from an international weapons company find themselves hilariously at the business end of their own products in Christopher Smith's razor-sharp comedy horror film.” (Hollywood Reporter)

“Director and co-writer Christopher Smith, mischievously blending The Office with Friday the 13th, keeps things fierce and funny enough to give Steve Carell ideas.” (Rolling Stone)

“Blending fierce horror and sly humour, Christopher Smith’s confident follow-up to the more generic Creep marks a quantum leap forward for the young British filmmaker.” (Time Out)
