Antichrist
 

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.

So what you got against Film Student Emo's eh?

:D

Re: Antichrist
 

If they send me a cheque for £4 plus retrieve the 2hrs I wasted watching this cr@p, then I have nothing against them at all...

Otherwise I hope they realise all of their hopes and dreams and live their lives in some sort of twisted parallel to this film.

So, to describe the film in three words would be?

You should have known from the trailer

Re: Antichrist
 

Someone might buy you a pint for the funny review? If a few of us do so then you could lose enough hours unconscious that the 2 spent watching it wouldn't really matter...

Re: Antichrist
 

I certainly won't say no to a pint (god knows I could use a few after this), but if you've seen the film, you might think I was being more kind than funny. :(

Re: Antichrist
 

I should have watched the trailer. I'd watch it now to see whether or not it was misleading, but I just couldn't bear any more of the torture.

Re: Antichrist
 

£4 for the pictures? bargain I say, costs me at least £8 :(
