Antichrist and Willem Dafoe’s arse.

Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror Films

There is a fair bit of buzz around about the trailer for Lars von Trier’s new film ‘Antichrist’. The film makes it debut at Cannes next month. Many sites such as Bloody Good Horror and Dead Lantern have featured it already. The film is about a couple trying to save their marriage post the death of their son, the trailer infers the wife stops taking some type of medication and things unravel from there. In such a short trailer the images are chilling yet compelling.

Apart from the terror of Willem Dafoe’s arse can we all take a moment to worship the image of the tree in the final part of the trailer? Its brilliant! The image is sexual with the couple in the centre but the surrounding tree roots made up of miscellaneous limbs is disturbing, disturbing in a good way. Fingers crossed the film gets a general release.
