Horror Vault's take

When the leaders of the G7 find themselves hopelessly lost in the woods during their annual summit, their attempts to draft a statement about a vague global crisis quickly descend into something far more nightmarish than a diplomatic deadlock. Guy Maddin and Evan Johnson's pitch-black satire uses the horror genre as a scalpel to dissect the hollow rituals of world leadership, with an all-star ensemble embodying the most powerful — and apparently most helpless — people on Earth. Surreal dread creeps in alongside deadpan comedy as the threat escalates from embarrassing to genuinely perilous. It's a film that weaponises absurdism to ask unsettling questions about who we trust to steer civilisation.
