| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzFor those who get off over weird films, this one should be appetizing. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Jacob KnightThere's an ample amount of blunt brutality on display, and a solid twist on who the killer turns out to be, marking The Severed Arm as a rather intriguing deep cut when discussing the beginnings of horror's more prolific subcategorizations. |
| User ReviewRicky :Man they had this movie on the Sci Fi Channel before how come no one ever rated this movie here? horse shit. it was fucking awesome. |
| User ReviewLeo LAn interesting movie! Starvation. Trapt. Enclosed in a dark, remote place. Hmmmm. It's quite interesting what one may think, and do, in order to survive. |
| User ReviewShawn WNot a good film by any stretch--it moves slowly and not much happens--but I'm still a sucker for the early 70s horror aesthetic and sensibilities (will always remind me of late night TV), and the goofy/macabre EC Comics premise is appreciated. |
| User ReviewTodd S[font='Times New Roman'][size=4]The basic plot sounds interesting at first. A group of spelunkers get trapped in a cave and out of desperation remove the arm of one unlucky member of the group to sustain them. Shortly after, they are all rescued. Years later, the victim seeks revenge for his taken and devoured limb. The film maker takes that and stretches out with a lot of boring filler and what he must have thought was a clever ?twist ending.? It?s not. The SFX are nothing to get excited about. They hold their own and do their job, but don?t really help make the movie any better. The music score is a different story. It actually makes the film harder to sit through! The actors also don?t make any amazing contributions, but they are good enough that they don?t make watching the movie any tougher. This one isn?t really worth any attention.[/size][/font] |
| User ReviewBrian CEnjoyable revenge flick about a group of men who were trapped in a cave. After weeks of starving they decided to draw straws for whom would have an arm cut off to be cannibalized so they could survive. After being rescued, someone is killing the friends one by one. The cinematography was really bad, scenes were mostly too dark to see anything. |
