De Martino’s insistence that ‘more is more’ results in a movie that’s both a pale imitation of the film that ‘inspired’ it and an overwrought standalone horror.

Rated: 3/5

Now von Trier's trying his hand at the horror porn genre without abandoning the genital close-ups, making Antichrist a sort of horror porn squared.

O nico elemento que merece elogios, nesta cpia pattica de O Exorcista, a bela Carla Gravina; o resto deve ser exorcizado de nossas memrias.

It involves Satan, a possessed woman's tongue and a billy goat's butthole. Again, the distinction between scary and unpleasant becomes revoltingly clear.

This italian horror film owes a lot to "The Exorcist", but the interpretation is really brilliant. The spotlight shifts from a child to a woman, which makes the events more stratified, with a massive explicit and erotic component. The problems are related to the poor special effects. Great acting.

The influence of The Exorcist is more than apparent and some of the scenes look similar, however the story that backs this one up is flat and less rounded.
