The Swedish slasher The Conference provides some solid gore and a fun final act with characters that range from rooting for and wishing slow death upon. Entertaining and well crafted to boot! On Netflix now, since they never highlight their foreign horror stuff. pic.twitter.com/CNG29qtPxi

Netflix's The Conference stands out in the slasher genre by adding political satire, beautiful cinematography, sharp editing and white-collar victims into the mix. Although its slow pace might not be for everyone, it's defiantly worth the watch! pic.twitter.com/frRzRd1cWq
