It doesn't deliver what one expects.
When you make a film that combines such disparate genres as horror and comedy it is normal to fall short in one of them, well, in the case of The Conference it falls short in both. There is neither horror nor humor. What we are left with is a film that at times takes itself too little seriously, and at times takes itself too seriously, leaving the viewer orphaned as to what to appreciate or not.
The beautiful landscapes and some violent deaths stand out.
The cast is very uneven, as is the script.
I hope the book it's based on is better and at least makes us smile a little if nothing else.
