The plot twists are a bit disappointing. The characters are not really introduced in depth. I don't think i remember half of the characters names. Kill scenes are also disappointing, i was more laughing at them then being scared, becouse they were just done in such a way you cant really take them seriously. I see that there was a concept there. I think if we would have introduced the characters more and gone more into the eerie and bizare behavior then into a disappointing slasher, this could have been really good. Like i would like to see the whole company concept/character interactions develop more so we actually had a better idea why some stuff was happening and what it all meant.

It doesn't deliver what one expects. When you make a film that combines such disparate genres as horror and comedy it is normal to fall short in one of them, well, in the case of The Conference it falls short in both. There is neither horror nor humor. What we are left with is a film that at times takes itself too little seriously, and at times takes itself too seriously, leaving the viewer orphaned as to what to appreciate or not. The beautiful landscapes and some violent deaths stand out. The cast is very uneven, as is the script. I hope the book it's based on is better and at least makes us smile a little if nothing else.

Plot A team-building conference for municipal employees turns into a nightmare when accusations of corruption begin to circulate and plague the work environment. At the same time, a mysterious figure begins murdering the participants. Cast Unfamiliar Verdict Slasher is a sub-genre I grew up with but honestly was never very enamored with. Give me monsters, zombies, vampires, something psychological but a person in a mask running around being all stabby stabby? Meh. This Swedish stab at the genre has a couple of things going for it, the killer looks fantastic and the ensemble of characters is varied and much appreciated in a world of generic 20 something pretty people type films. However, that's mostly it. The whole film is played very safe and doesn't bring much to the table you won't have seen a hundred times before. It's not bad, but if you've watched many slashers you'll have pretty much seen this. Rants I recently watched one of the new Scream movies, you had characters stabbed 20+ times, people stabbed had the knife pulled up through their innards, people smashed in the head with bricks and then 5 4 3 2 1 they're up, running, fighting, chatting as if it never happened. Slasher shouldn't be a genre you can't take seriously and the modern king of slashers should be taking it more seriously. Absurd, laughable and as believable as Roadrunner vs Coyote in it's approach. Can't wait for an anvil to drop on a characters head in the next Scream movie and them to walk it off. Breakdown Great mix of characters Solid killer appearance. Mediocre overall Instantly forgettable.

I felt the Conference movie was very B grade. I felt there was a lot of unnecessary blabber throughout the whole film leading up to the killer starting to do his/her killing. Small twists throughout the film, which was very known to me anyway without having to think too hard to figure out what was going on. It was very disappointing to know that the plot was very simple, it's been done before in previous films, nothing exciting or enticing about it at all. There was not much of an ending either, nor a shock to whom it the killer was. Unfortunately I found it to be a waste of my time watching this movie.

The municipal workers responsible for green-lighting a new mall arrive at a 'holiday village' for a conference, where they find themselves fighting for their lives against a brutal killer. The characters in The Conference are bloody irritating - deliberately so - which makes it all the more satisfying when the killing begins. It takes a fair while to get to the good stuff, by which time you'll be aching to see the work colleagues get butchered. The death scenes are suitably bloody, with the killer using machete, outboard motor, sickle, electric drill and booby-trapped zip-wire, but at the end of the day, when all is said and done, this is nothing more than a routine slasher (albeit with tongue-in-cheek), the only thing distinguishing it from numerous other films of the same ilk being the fact that it is Swedish. 5.5/10, rounded up to 6 for the stitching up of Jonas's scalp, which is pretty nasty.
