Severed

Bad acting, bad lighting, bad plot!! This had the quality of a porno movie. I have seen more interesting home video of a boring wedding than this movie...it sucked big time!! Don't waste your time or money on this crap! It's amazing that they allow this kind of smut to even be released on video, it should be a crime!!

I also only could stand the first 10 minutes of this movie. It is flicks like this that make Plan 9 From Outer Space look like Gone With The Wind. It appears that the budget for this was spent on fake blood and the flashlight the two cops use to look for the killer.

I own this movie. I bought it for $3.99 at a fairly major video retailer in order to do some "indie"" type movie research since I had just finished my own feature and was editing it. Now when I feel down about my skills as a first time director I just sit down with a plate of cookies and Severed. Within minutes I feel great!!!

I hate to down talk another filmmaker so I'll just use constructive criticism. 1. Find good actors. Take the time. It really helps. 2. When shooting video, over light your scenes and darken in the computer later on in post. 3. Closeups are better for Video. 4. When an actor enters a scene, wait a bit before

having them speak so that we know what's going on and who's talking. 5. Never show the back of a door while we wait for someone to come open it. Damn well worth the $3.99

The True Horror would be getting the reviews Severed has here on IMDb. And you have to give these guys credit... they did get distributed.

I love B or even C type horror movies. Much of this one is filmed in the dark, most of it so dark you cannot see what is going on. The acting at best is sub standard with nearly every character filled with some unexplained anger. Finally in this day and age of custom cell phone rings Blake the bounty hunter could have done much better than the one he had.

I received a free copy of this movie from the director back when I used to run a movie review website. I actually enjoyed watching it, because it was free. However, crap acting and not being able to hear most of the dialogue did tend to p*** me off. Poor lighting throughout was another negative (actually not being able to hear or see it did have some appeal). There was one piece of decent acting however and I can't remember the guys name (and I'm not about to watch it again to get it) but the guy in the morgue was pretty good. So, if you get a free copy from the director, be happy and have a few laughs at it. Otherwise, don't waste your time or money.
