Plot Summary: Working nine to five is a real killer, but teambuilding holidays can sometimes be even worse.

A coach lurches out of the hustle and bustle of Budapest and heads towards the mountainous border. Aboard are seven employees of the international weapons manufacturer Palisade Defence, global suppliers of innovative weaponry for the past 75 war-torn years. The lucky group are being treated to a team-building weekend at the company's newly built luxury spa lodge by their president, George Cinders.

But things quickly go awry as the colleagues find themselves faced with the chop when their corporate weekend is sabotaged by a deadly enemy. Forget office politics, only the smartest will survive this bloody office outing.

I have already saw it, and it was pretty good.

I saw the trailer to this before Hot Fuzz. Looked pretty decent. I have also seen a good bit of "meh" type reviews as well. THis may be one of those I wait until it hits DVD.

Finally got a chance to watch this. I really liked it. I think some people thought they were trying for a Shaun of the Dead type of groove, but I didn't get that at all. At no point did I think this was supposed to be a comedy. It had some funny moments in it, but it was a horror film. A slasher film to be more exact.

What made it original were that the characters were likable, the opponent formidable, and the set up of a group of office workers from a weapons manufacturer out in the woods for some team building exercises who are then accosted by an unknown enemy using weapons their company made was pretty good.

Overall, 8 out of 10 from me. Good cast, decent deaths and pretty atmospheric in regards to the woods and all.

I just watched it and thought it was great!
Like Morbid said This was a slasher film with funny moments in it!
The drug scene, the bazooka scene, The bear trap scene
the bad guy falling though the floor...
The characters were likable and funny!
Danny Dyer was great in a Jonny Knoxville kinda way
and so was Laura Harris, the chick from 24 (Marie Warner in season 2)

The movie was better than I thought it would be after hearing all the hype!
The DVD cover says it all "The Office meets The Hills Have Eyes"
