Severance

I can't recall in recent times a slasher movie that made me both want to wince at the gore, but yet laugh out loud at the same time. Perhaps The Host fit the bill, but that monster movie is in a league of its own.

No monsters in Severance, but enough blood and violence to keep fans of the genre happy. I think the British are having a mighty fine time in making these sort of movies, and the differentiating factor here is the creepy atmosphere it managed to build (horror shows of late can learn a trick or two), but yet snappy enough at certain portions to make you laugh, not because the movie's deliberately comical.
