“The Conference” (2023): Forget Jousting for your Job...Fight for your ever lovin' LIFE!

There are nearly as many hits as misses on the dark comedy dartboard in the all over the map Swedish serial killer Slasher “The Conference”. Still, this perverse parable of a work drone’s weekend gone gorefest chucks a little chunk of everything into the maniacal mass murderer mix.

Corporate espionage, environmental advocacy, greed for greed’s sake, mental health, irresponsible commercial real estate development, genuine moments of human anguish, and even a shout out to pop/rock music icon Phil Collins. What else do you need?

But wait. There's more.

Among the assorted acts of malicious mayhem here, a whirring outboard motorboat engine blade boring into a guy’s chest, a meat hook plunged into the top of the skull of a sweet old lady and an ineffectual business manager run up the flagpole to hang out. Why, it’s a bloody bedlam banquet, a veritable feral feast to make jolly even the most jaded…

of freakin’ freaks!
