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

Rated: 3/4

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."

It's a promising film on corporate culture that doesn't fulfill its promises.

The Conference is a Swedish film, but if you can handle mediocre dubbing, and half a good cast, the blood, sweat, and tears will keep you watching till the end.

It was good. I think most of the characters were well thought out however, some of the deaths were excessive.I like that the film doesn't just tell you what's going on.

In Swedish with English dubbing, “The Conference” is a fun, goofy slasher that strikes the perfect balance between light and dark.

Gruesome and gory in all the right places but not quite as overdone as I expected. There are some truly unsettling scenes in this slasher that made me shiver, as well as some inspiring moments of heroism that made me cheer. I loved the direction and many of the cuts made me laugh in amusement. The Conference was much more enjoyable than I anticipated.

I like this movie, the truth is that it was very good, it gave me feelings of terror and the deaths are the best part of the movie, that's why it makes it a slasher and horror movie.

The plot of the film was boring and the characters weren't interesting to me. The kills in this film weren't the greatest either.
