Good call. I awoke this morning with disgusting imagery in my head. Maybe I'll throw in a Pixar movie to cleanse the palette.

Yes, I did see Paranormal Activity. I thought it was boring, amateurish, un-scary and about an hour too long. Antichrist isn't so much scary as it is just foul. Since you aren't going to see it, I'll tell you what you're missing:

(SPOILERS)

*A woman hitting a man in the penis with a log.

*A woman masturbating said penis, which ejaculates blood.

*A woman drilling a hole through a man's leg and attaching a heavy weight, secured by a large bolt.

*A woman cutting off her own clitoris.

Wow. So it really lives up to the hype, eh? I don't think I'd make it through the whole thing, based off your description.. couldn't even make it through 'Paranormal Activity', although that was kinda shitty to be fair. You seen it? Kinda Blair-Witchy. Thanks for the heads up about this Antichrist, though. I'd rather watch a movie and have to think and be entertained than be revolted and scared! Horror movies never really appealed to me because of that, but some of them do indeed make for great cinema. If anything, I'd watch Antichrist for the cinematography - it looked beautiful.

OK, I can honestly say that Antichrist is the most disturbing film I've ever seen. I'm a fan of horror and a fan of dark, but the final act of this film pretty much put me in a fetal position. I have no idea what this film is supposed to mean. Though it touches subjects of grief, evil, nature, human nature, misogyny and sexuality, I came away with nothing but nausea.

That said, I can't give it a thumbs down, because it is a well made, well shot, well directed, well lit, well acted, provocative piece of art. Even before the brutality begins, the sense of dread and gloom that LvT creates using hushed voices and darkness left me breathless and uncomfortable, and the moments that come later on...... It takes some doing to create something this truly bleak and brutal without causing me to just shutdown and move on to something else.

That said, I can't give this flick a thumbs up either, because it's so self-consciously offensive in the way it pushes the bounderies as to what constitutes art and entertainment.

No thumbs up, no thumbs down. Instead I'll go with two thumbs covered in menstrual blood shoved deep into my skull, via the eye sockets.

It's a fucked up film. I wouldn't recommend taking a loved one unless they have a cast iron stomach. Whatever horrors you might have imagined over my description will pale in comparison to reality. You may be better off just skipping it. If your curiousity does get the better of you, you've been warned.

If you need me, I'll be in the bathroom vomiting.
