Written by Anders Thomas Jensen and Lars von Trier, based on the theory that it was Satan, not God, who created the world, Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg will play a couple who retreat to an isolated cabin in the woods following the death of their child.
Art-house horror films don’t compare in terms of interest in comparison to Hollywood remakes of Korean films or Hollywood remakes of Hollywood horror films, but this could pull off a surprise if the film goes into the demented side – the trailer certainly leads me to think this way. Von Trier hasn’t been a box office draw with his last pictures Manderlay and The Boss of it All, and established Dafoe and Gainsbourg are quality actors but not big names – despite such shortcomings Antichrist should be reeled in early after the world preem.
