Severance and The Belko Experiment would make an ideal double bill. They share a certain tone and philosophy about the corporate world and the assholes within, yet they're dissimilar enough in story, setting and character dynamics that they wouldn't feel repetitious one after the other. Belko is way funnier, but Severance has a few memorable gags of its own, including Toby Stephens' ironic final line.

Very disappointed in this. Essentially the strong beat the weak.

This is on HBO right now. I never heard of this movie, but when I saw the cast had Goldwyn, McGinley, Sexton and John Gallagher I decided to watch it last night.

I don't know about this one. While I liked the idea, the whole thing never really made much sense.

Yeah there were some brutal kills and executions, but I didn't really understand the whole point of it. The ending didn't really give much of a payoff either. There was no bigger incentive for the survival aspect. The mystery people behind it lacked a bigger sinister aspect. I was like...That's it? You just want to see how desperate these people are to survive without the explosive going off in their heads or getting shot by their friends?

Was hoping the bump meant it was on streaming (Netflix or Amazon) now ...
