Review of Severed

Severed (2005)
1/10
You gotta be kidding

Don't be taken in by the first review of this turkey. What's wrong with it? OK, let's see... Rotten acting. Raggeddy, patchwork story. Virtually no gore. Wobbly (intentional) camera. Terrible editing. Did I say ridiculous plot? Well, I suppose nothing too much should be expected from any zombie movie, but I at least anticipated a couple of scares. How else could it be from a movie titled "Severed"? What should have been scary scenes turned out to be nothing, because instead of severed heads or whatever, all we see is spraying blood. And time after time we see a character with completely blood-drenched face, then a few seconds later is almost all cleaned up. Jumpy editing.

Some reviewers here thought this was great. I'm at a loss to understand how anybody could not see through this as the low-budget, ineptly directed trash that it is.

If you haven't seen this yet, then here's what to do: Go find "Sean of the Dead" and watch that instead. It's taking the *piss* out of all the zombie movies and it's really funny.
