Old Reviews: Antichrist

Finally worked up enough courage to watch Lars von Trier's 2009 "Antichrist." I knew I'd be disgusted by it, and I was. But it was also just a bad movie, even a bad horror movie. It becomes worse and worse as it goes, the end being the lowest point. The overt symbolism and terrible dialogue are just some of the things bad about it. It is no match for "Melancholia" as a whole. However, I will say that there are some very beautiful sequences that rival the beauty in "Melancholia." I do not recommend this movie. Maybe I recommend watching the prologue and then shutting it off. Also: include me in the group of people who laughed when they saw he dedicated it to Andrei Tarkovsky. Blasphemy!
