Literally campy - the conference is a decent slasher. But, the backstory about the towns people hating the subdivision fell a little short for me.

It was a good horror slasher, and the only thing I did not like was the main character. They had a lot of different characters, that were way more entertaining and interesting than main one.

No one wants to know what they're meeting about, where they're getting the funding from, they want to watch the slasher scene.

O ritmo talvez seja um problema para algumas pessoas,mas para quem acompanhar o ritmo da história,tem boas piadas e criticas sociais,ao mesmo tempo que entrega gore e mortes muito inventivas ao serem alternadas com transições incríveis e que deixam tudo melhor.

Since I had to read the subtitles I had to focus and I didn't quite like it. The cast was irritating as intended and the messages were clear but it wasn't a good story or a good scare.

Such an utter blatant rip off of Severance (2006) it was disgusting. Yet they still managed to rip off an excellent film and make a garbage one. I guess that's talent.

There’s an impressive economy to “The Conference” in how Eklund doesn’t waste time on speeches or slow burn his way to tension.

Swedish horror-comedy The Conference balances the two genres extremely well.

While the conference takes far too long to reach what viewers are waiting for, the payoff is ultimately worth it. There are some wild kills, interesting transitions, and solid comedic moments.

Rated: 6/10

Props to director Patrik Eklund and writer Thomas Moldestad, who more than earn the right to transform "teamwork makes the dream work."
