Apr 14 2009Let the 'Antichrist' Trailer Force You Up Against Its Nightmare Tree
I expected a film called Antichrist, directed by The Kingdom's Lars von Trier and starring supercreep Willem Dafoe (along with Science of Sleep's Charlotte Gainsbourg), would leave me a little unsettled. But shame? Come on. Does it have to also make me feel oddly shameful?
Experience this:
Casting Dafoe seems a bit unnecessary--like von Trier has brought in a disturbing ringer to counter any creepiness atrophy he may have experienced in the weepy arthouse years (Dogville, Dancer in the Dark, etc.) since the pure distilled nightmare juice of Kingdom 1 and 2.

This trailer is very bad.
The film looks like another lame 'monsta' film...
I'll avoid this one...

Anyone who goes out in the woods with William Defoe, let alone sleeps with him, gets what they deserve.

Was this going to be the Wickerman 2?
Nah.... It looks better than that.
Might be alright....

The above comments all appear to be from people who have never seen a Lars Von Trier film. I suspect this thing is going to be more unique and probably much sicker and stranger than what the trailer suggests.

Lars Von Trier doing a horror film? Count me in! Still holding out hope for Wasington to be made though.

Anti Christ-O will make you want to eat-O!
Also he could've added about 10 extra creepy points if he somehow slipped Crispin Glover in there.

whats the song at the beginning

Lascia ch'io pianga - an aria for Handel's Oratorio Rinaldo. And I think that's a countertenor singing it.

This is supposed to be the most disturbing film to date.
the intro is the two main characters doing the nasty while their child falls to his death
