Corporate Retreat

Our Verdict on Corporate Retreat

Corporate Retreat is a survival horror film that uses the corporate team-building setting as a pressure cooker for examining moral choice, loyalty, and the true measure of a person under existential threat. Director Aaron Fisher and writers Aaron Fisher and Kerri Lee Romeo have built a premise that satirizes corporate culture while functioning primarily as a vessel for horror genre expectations and traditional moral questions. The result is a film that gestures toward progressive corporate critique without actually pursuing it, leaving the ideological space open for traditional interpretations of survival, sacrifice, and moral character.
