Reviews:
“Several deaths are rather grisly, and no joke can change that fact. Admittedly, The Conference brings nothing all that new to the slasher sub-genre. However, solid production values, colorful performances, and fun but brutal kills all help make this movie more appealing. As far as horror comedies go, this one works hard at being the best of both worlds.” ★★★ Bloody Disgusting
“There’s a masked killer and an assortment of characters who refuse to understand the danger in front of them, but The Conference is certainly an entertaining sit, supported by engaged performances, snappy editing, and Eklund’s love of the game, handling the B-movie event with care for bodily harm and scenes of people being hunted.” ★★★½ Blu-ray.com
“Discerning horror fans may have to adjust their expectations or risk being disappointed. That anxiety-inducing mood is absent. It leans more towards playful than downright scary. But I’d rather choose The Conference than see even more inflated influencers being chased through haunted houses and Liseberg. It has a twinkle in its eye, one foot proudly placed in the b-movie quagmire and the other on the gas pedal…” ★★★★ MovieZine [translated from Swedish]
