A once-famous director is forced to deal with a dark secret and confront the horrors of his past and artistic legacy when a series of gruesome killings reveal a haunting, blood-drenched work of pure cinematic genius.

The Severed unfolds within the suffocating confines of a large, decrepit house immersed in ominous shadows and haunted by a dark past and an old mystery that remains unsolved. It all relates to its reclusive owner and current resident, a once internationally famous director in his 80s still lost in the obsessive passion for his art and stalked by a sinister secret that refuses to die. Meanwhile, a serial killer is on the prowl targeting young children from a nearby migrant camp - a blind child from Syria is the latest missing and feared dead. It all leads to a tangled web of deceit and a twisted revelation that ushers in a phantasmagoric finale of pure horror.—Dimitrios Katsantonis
