Has anyone watched it and wants to discuss it? I did and got quite mixed feelings. But it is worth watching, imo.

Ah yes. I saw an earlier copy when it was first released and thought it was a really interesting film.

I recently got the Blu-ray for Christmas but haven't had the chance to sit down and watch it again. I really liked it originally.

It's dark, strange and has some brutal ways to exchange messages. I'll have to sit down and try out the Blu-ray this weekend to remind myself of all the details of the film, but I enjoyed it. That opening scene was somewhat of an eye-opener.  :o

I watched it a couple weeks ago and thought it was a fantastic film: very well acted, great cinematography and art direction, and a deep plot with multiple possible interpretations. However, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone averse to viewing violence or being challenged.

Okay, a lot of you guys will think I'm crazy  here, but I swear on my mother's grave that I'm telling the God's honest truth...

I actually wanted to see this film. I added it to my Netflix queue quite a while ago, and I noticed a while back that it was available via streaming. Well, I usually use my xbox for streaming netflix, and one morning I realized that I had left it on overnight with my netflix instant queue screen showing. I went to turn it off, and all of a sudden the screen started scrolling through all the films until it stopped on Antichrist. The controller was on my bed, not even ON. I went over and picked it up, turned it on, and moved the queue to another film. I put the controller down and continued getting dressed, and all of a sudden "blip-blip-blip-blip-blip", it started scrolling through the movies again all by itself....sure enough, it stopped on Antichrist again.

Needless to say, I removed the film from my queue and have no interest in seeing it anymore lol.  :?
