Small murders between colleagues
Notice to fans of original horror films, a new Netflix feature film should not leave you indifferent. Available today on the platform, Seminar is a Swedish horror thriller, adapted from the book Conference by Mats Strandberg.
Written by Thomas Moldestad and directed by Patrik Eklund, this horror film will make you want to run away from any activity planned by your company with your colleagues! Seminar follows the team building of a group of municipal employees who came to celebrate the future construction of a shopping center in Kolarängen.

But this construction will follow the destruction of a farm and this decision is not to the taste of all the inhabitants. No matter for municipal employees, it’s time for them to have a good time in a holiday village at Lake Kolarsjön.
The employees are full of enthusiasm participating in many activities in the forest, except Lina, who returned after a long sick leave. She’s the only one who understands that the mall plan is dubious and hides immoral secrets.

The atmosphere within the seminar takes a whole new turn when rumors of corruption begin to spread but especially when a mysterious killer, hidden under the head of a mascot, begins to kill the participants one by one.
Among the faces of Séminaire, the public will find Katia Winter (Dexter, Sleepy Hollow, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow), Adam Lundgren (Chernobyl) and Eva Melander (Border, Pleasure).
By mixing slasher and office black comedy, Seminar offers an experience as bloody as it is sarcastic which slowly but surely increases the sauce as the murders occur. This frightening exploration of human relationships and professional tensions which transform into violent chaos should convince fans of the genre.
