Severance (2006)

I'm not sure about this one... on the plus side it's a British horror-comedy that is genuinely pretty funny, and with scary parts that are appropriately tense and gory. On the other hand, it sort of devolves into a torture fest that I thought was too nasty and sadistic compared to the rest of the film. Humor in horror works great when the original material is already absurd (zombies, vampires, etc), but humor about people getting brutally murdered for no reason doesn't mesh as well for me. If you like stuff like Hostel, Wolf Creek, etc, you might enjoy this one, but it's just too mean-spirited for me.
