Team Building Turned Bloody: Corporate Retreat Review

Welcome to this episode, where we sink our teeth into Corporate Retreat (2026), a savage horror-dark comedy directed by Aaron Fisher and co-written by Fisher and Kerri Lee Romeo (no relation to George A. Romero).The film centers on a group of ambitious, tech-bro executives whose luxury team-building escape devolves into a brutal, blood-soaked fight for survival. It boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Odeya Rush, Zión Moreno, Ashton Sanders, Alan Ruck, Rosanna Arquette, and Kirby Johnson.Episode HighlightsFirst Impressions & Screener Thanks: We start by thanking the PR team for sending over an early screener.The Concept: We dissect the film's premise—part Saw, part Ready or Not—and debate whether the "unlikable tech bros" dynamic made it easier to root for their demise.Pacing & Character Depth: Why spending an hour and a half with a group of walking egos left us struggling to find anyone to root for.Gore vs. Substance: Is the extreme violence driving the plot, or is it just masking thin storytelling?The Eye Scene: We share our visceral reactions to the most gruesome, eye-popping moment in the movie and debate whether anyone could actually survive it.Accidental Laughs: Giant syringes, bizarre cult-like retreat hosts, and the awkward line between intentional horror-comedy and hilarious movie absurdity.Connect & Support:Patreon: Support the show and access bonus content for free on our My Horror History Patreon.Socials: Follow along on Instagram @myhorrorhistory.pod.Featured Podcast: Check out the Surviving Horror Podcast on Spotify.#CorporateRetreat #HorrorComedy #HorrorMovies #FilmReview #Podcast #MovieReview #HorrorCommunity #Gorehound #Saw #ReadyOrNot #AlanRuck #OdeyaRush #RosannaArquette #Cinematography #DarkComedy #MyHorrorHistory #SurvivingHorror
