Verdict on The Conference
The Conference is a horror comedy following a group of corporate types who go on a remote retreat. They have their own problems with each other. However, their biggest threat comes from a masked killer picking them off.
This is a horror comedy in a similar style as ‘Severance’ a British comedy following a group of employees on a retreat dealing with a killer. Where this one comes off differently, is the motivation behind the attack. There are wacky kills and the humor flows through the business mentality of the characters. If you are looking for a wacky horror comedy, this gets plenty of laughs along the way.
Where to Watch: The Conference is available to watch on Netflix.
Final Thoughts –The Conference is a wacky horror comedy.
