Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a lukewarm 5.5 out of 10 from audiences and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and horror fans. If you loved Thanksgiving, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Scary and gory.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 41 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated NC-17: expect violence.
  • It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

A ragtag group of public sector employees battle not only their own discord but also a bloodthirsty killer during a seemingly innocuous retreat.
