The official US trailer for ANTICHRIST has made it’s exclusive debut on Apple Trailers, and the excitement is palpable.
Here’s a collection of reactions to this latest glimpse at the beauty and terror of Lars Von Trier’s eagerly anticipated film:
NY Magazine Vulture Blog
“That’ll Do, Antichrist Trailer, That’ll Do - The first trailer for Lars von Trier’s Antichrist garnered complaints that it wasn’t scary enough for the movie that’s already a legend of genital-bashing horror. We can all shut up now, though, because there’s a new one, and it’s the scariest trailer we’ve seen, ever.”
/FILM
“I almost didn’t post this, because we’ve run a few clips and/or trailer from Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist already. But goddamn, this is a hell of a trailer. For one, it is in HD Quicktime, and while I’ve understood previously that the movie has some great imagery, this presentation suggests that it might be a really genuinely beautiful film. Furthermore, this trailer is genuinely scary. It hints at the classic effect of the original Alien and The Shining trailers for inspiring fear. No small feat. Check it out.”
CHUD
“AMERICAN ANTICHRIST TRAILER ALL BUT DARES YOU TO WATCH THE MOVIE…I can’t wait to check this movie out for myself, and the new trailer really highlights the film’s shocking nature. Plus it looks mind-blowingly gorgeous.”
BEYOND HOLLYWOOD
“New US Antichrist Trailer Is Pretty Sweet!…If you’re currently on the fence about giving this film your undivided attention, the US trailer might be the thing to push you over, regardless of which side you’re leaning.”

I just watched both trailers. I don’t get what’s supposed to be scary.
