A team building conference in the great Swedish outdoors becomes a nightmare when employees are stalked and slashed by a maniac wearing a large creepy kid mask (which looks suspiciously like the one worn in the Happy Death Day movies). Netflix gives this movie a lot of kudos but then they would. It is meant to be a horror comedy, the horror part - unoriginal as it is - isn't too bad, there are a few good kills and gory scenes, however it is a total failure with the "comedy". I didn't mind the lead female Lina (Katia Winter), though I'd like to have known more about her backstory, but the rest of the characters are an uninteresting lot, the two young guys in particular are just downright annoying. At 100 minutes it felt too slow and often boring. I am a big slasher fan but "Konferensen" (it's original title) did very little for me. I nearly always watch non-English movies in their original language, this being no exception, however the characters spoke so fast I often struggled to keep up.
