The Conference cast: who's who in the Swedish horror movie

The Conference cast is made up of some great Swedish talent, as they tell the story of a group of co-workers who find themselves being tormented by a masked killer.

Half horror, half comedy, the Netflix movie is a satire about corporate culture, capitalism, and gentrification, due to the fact that plans to build a huge shopping mall have serious risks of ruining the lives of those living in the rural area.

The plot is: "A team-building conference for municipal employees turns into a nightmare when accusations of corruption begin to circulate and plague the work environment. At the same time, a mysterious figure begins murdering the participants."

It's very similar to your typical slasher, think Friday the 13th, in which a mysterious assailant picks off a group one by one. While we don't know who's under the mask (yet), we do know which unlucky people are getting targeted.

Here's everything you need to know about The Conference cast...

Lina is another member of staff attending the conference, who has just came back from sick leave due to mental health issues. So it's safe to say she's not too enthusiastic about the team-building exercises.
