Anyone seen the film Severance yet? I've only seen the very quick trailers on tv, it was bugging me who the bearded guy wearing the tank top was...and i was right dagnabbit...it was Mr. Andy Nyman...

if you have seen it - is it any cop? as good as Shaun of the Dead?

Well, they're touting it as the new Shaun of the Dead, which makes me suspicious quality-wise.

...im always cautious of brit films that have "as funny as the last british film that was made..."

which always means "as funny as the last time you got a very bad infection..."

it's a shame we can't seem to russle up a good psychological horror film these days...

i would of thought the league of gentlemen people (as in Tubbs and Royston Vasey) would of done something like that by now, but no - they tried to write something different; scrapped it - and squeezed out the League of gentlemen film instead...urgh.....

I love that film. One of my faves. So I'm quite intruiged by it, I'll probably end up checking it out sooner or later.

I too watched the trailer and thought...hmm wait...that's....

Looked it up on IMDB and it was. A breakthrough film for him maybe, as all the others he's done to my knowledge have been quite small brit flicks, this one has a lot more money behind it.

I'll go and see it...but danny boyle does my head in.

as in Tubbs and Royston Vasey

Speaking of Royston Vasey, I'm reading 'Chubby' Brown's autobiography at the moment... quite a colourful character!

i think the League Gentlemen have rested on their laurels too much y'know...i was kinda expecting a wierd victoriana style film from them by now considering their influences...
