The Conference (2023)

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

The Conference (2023)

Post by Leisher »

Swedish horror film where a group of businesspeople hold a retreat for team building. This happens during a time when they're about to develop a controversial shopping center that not everyone is happy about.

This is old school horror that's actually pretty interesting because of the killer. There's no mystery or supernatural things. Where this stands apart, imho, is the difference between planning and execution. Before the element of surprise is lost, everything goes the killer's way. After the element of surprise is lost, this becomes almost a comedy as the killer and the victims are all in an unfamiliar situation.

Lots of gory moments. Not because of buckets of blood, but more because of the violence. The practical effects department put in the work here.

It's a bit silly, but enjoyable.
