Wow. Just wow. I've heard it said the greatest trick the Devil ever played was making mankind believe he didn't exist. It's not true. The greatest trick the devil ever played was making me waste nearly 2hrs watching this cr@p.
I'm sure if you're a film student with a major in Emo, this is sheer brilliance. For the rest of us, this is contrived sh1te, so overdramatic as to be pathetic. I hate to say it was bad acting, because I typically love Willem Dafoe's work (Platoon, Wild at Heart, and the gay FBI guy in Boondock Saints especially).
If it's possible to overstate a movie in it's title where just a single word (Antichrist) is involved, then this movie has achieved that on an epic scale. If there was an award for most over-titled film of the year, this would be it.
Perhaps you might expect (as I did) that based on it's reputation/reviews, this is a film that's part Exorcist, part Crash and part porno. In reality it start out with Willem's berries swinging to and fro, spends the next hour or so in monumental boredom, then chucks in a talking dead fox and a bit of confusing random gore for effect.
I get the feeling this film is supposed to make you feel depressed. If that's the case, then it worked. I am indeed depressed; depressed that I paid £4 or so to watch it on Sky. Were I not inherently cheap (and desperately hoping it would improve), I would have changed the channel 15 minutes in.
Somebody kill me. Please.
