Screen Shot 2022-08-28 at 4.12.56 PM"Severance" is just enough of an exploitation satire (think, Roger Corman in his heyday) to hold your interest beyond its gratuitous knife, blood-and-breast recipe for suspense and shock.

A group of international yuppie corporate defense coworkers get caught in an Eastern European trap of horrors when their bus breaks down.

Okay, so maybe there really isn’t enough satire to compensate for another scream-and-chase slasher flick, but it does try a little.

The Eastern European landscape of remote back woods adds another frightening element to the gore at hand.

Oh, the blood, so much blood!

Rated R. 96 mins.

LA GRANDE BOUFFE (THE BIG FEAST)ColeSmithey.comA British cult film classic seems like just the thing to break Cole and Mike out of their hangover from SHOCKTOBER! Sadly, Mike fell down in the Craft Beer department so we're pretending to drink Stella Artois for our lively discussion. Get out the cutlery, you'll need at least five pieces for episode #77.
