While a married couple is having sex, their infant son in a nearby room falls out a window to his death. In order to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage, the grieving couple retreat to their cabin in the woods. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse.
Antichrist is a unique form of cruel and unusual punishment: an unrelenting orgy of graphic sex, violence and cynicism that also manages to be wildly pretentious.

...absurdly abstract in a way von Trier's best films are not.
Von Trier, never exactly an optimist, has never been this gloomy and pessimistic. Antichrist is the feel-bad movie of the year.

There will be no thumbs up or down ... [The film] is neither disgusting ... nor is it one of the great films. It is a transitional work made by an artist clearly in crisis.
Antichrist is a boldly personal film, tossing all von Trier's ideas about faith, fear, and human nature into an unfettered phantasmagoria, full of repulsive visions and fierce scorn.
