After seeing Pandorum I decided to give Alvart's previous film a try.
As it turns out I'm glad I did because Antibodies is a damn fine psychological thriller with a bit of Silence of the Lambs thrown in. Nice twists and an unexpected ending.
On the down side: It feels every bit...( read more)

Derivative, hackneyed and over-obvious in every possible narrative sense, Antibodies is only as enjoyable a film as your brain will let it be. It's basically Germany's response to those really shitty police procedural thrillers with sociopaths that Hollywood drowned in after Sile...( read more)

December 9, 2007It drags in the beginning.The story is great & great performances specially from the villain & leading actor.The villain was a interesting character.
Is slow in parts but still an interesting film.I will like to see a US remake for Antibodies but a little more graphic & better ending just totally different from the original.
Reminds me of Silence of the lambs but i like this one better. -
February 25, 2007allright serial killer flick, a bit cliche, but what the fuck was with the end, CG deer, what the fuck?!!!
