Critics Consensus

It struggles to find a successful balance between its genre and allegorical elements, but Antlers is sharp enough to recommend as a richly atmospheric creature feature.

Audience Says

Antlers can be a little heavy-handed and it isn't very scary, but if you give this slow-burning story time to work, it'll get its hooks in you.

3/5

Laden with doom, viscera and its own seriousness, Antlers is a sometimes effective, sometimes frustrating horror movie.

Cooper doesn't pull a single punch, and this may be his bleakest storytelling endeavor yet.

It's satisfyingly gross - there's plenty of black bile, crunching bones and half-chewed bodies.

8/10

This is a compelling and emotionally complex film, but it also has some of the year’s best gore and jump scares. I highly recommend it.

An earnestly explored yet shapeless exercise in socially conscious dread, fueled by fertile concepts yet spends too much time spinning its wheels to head out to territory worth exploring.

3/5

Antlers boasts some impressive production quality which adds to its suspense. Among the film’s delights include a playful approach to dark and foggy lighting that adds to the film’s sense of entrapment.

Growing up on the horror genre I would say this story rates up there as a movie to go 👀....however it does seem to a have a dull feel between the overall character play. It did serve well for some jump scares!
