Few movies, in fact, possess the level of depth that Antichrist does. If one is willing to stomach the periodic revulsion of watching this movie from beginning to end with a thoughtful and mature perspective they will find that it is full of symbolism, foreshadowing, and the kind of characterization that brings great success to novels. 'Gory' appropriately describes some sections of this film but the word by no means encapsulates it.
This movie is violent and very sexually graphic, bordering at times on artistic but hardcore pornography but it isn't lurid for the sole purpose of scandal.
