What to Know

Critics Consensus

It's derivative and its more ambitious aspirations don't amount to much, but Antibodies remains a reasonably diverting and well-made thriller.

Antibodies brings together a philosophically minded serial killer, a devoutly religious cop and a cynical filmmaker clearly itching to go Hollywood. Go to Full Review Kyle Smith New York Post 02/16/2007

A German thriller that isn't shy about ripping off The Silence of the Lambs. Go to Full Review Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times 02/15/2007

The film's pace is brisk enough to maintain our full attention. Antibodies is not so much an art house movie as a well-made, commercial thriller that happens to be in German. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 11/06/2019
In German with English sub-titles, the performances of [Wotan Wilke] Mohring and [Andre] Hennicke together with the visuals are strong enough that even were there not subtitles, one would know exactly what terror had taken hold. Go to Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews 02/28/2012
A compelling mixture of "Silence of the Lambs" and the biblical tale of god commanding Abraham to slay his son Isaac--believe it or not. Go to Full Review Keith H. Brown Eye for Film 12/07/2007

Gerald H Aug 6 Hmmmm. Man schaut zu, genug gefesselt um nicht abzuschalten, aber am Schluss liefert der Film nicht ab, und dies sogar im Eiltempo. Dazu bekommt man die schlimmsten CGI Rehe der Filmgeschichte, leider zusätzlich noch mit religiösem flair. See more Wolfgang G 12/19/2023 Antikörper ist ein deutscher Thriller von Christian Alvart… Als ein Killer verhaftet wird, sieht der Polizist Martens Zusammenhänge mit dem Jahre zurückliegenden Mord an einem Mädchen und nimmt die Ermittlungen wieder auf… Der Film erinnert mich an "Das Schweigen der Lämmer", ja Antikörper ist ein eigenständiger Psychothriller mit einem exzellenten Drehbuch… Ein psychologischer, radikaler und konsequenter Thriller, der auf das sogenannte religiöse Prinzip Gut und Böse und auf Schuld und Sühne setzt… Eine außergewöhnliche Inszenierung mit exzellenten Schauspielern… See more 06/28/2020 The concensus pretty much summarises what I was going to write.
