"Alvart adorns everything in portentous biblical trappings but is more interested in sleek visuals and rug-pulling gimmicks than his protagonist's (histrionically handled) moral conflict." - Nick Schager
Good. This is a good psycho thriller marred by an unfortunately hokey ending, but fortunately the ending only effects the very last 2-3 minutes, the rest of the film is as taut and entertaining as it gets. Highly recommended.
Sleazy, derivative serial killer thriller. It's a cobbled-together melange of several more successful films released almost a decade ago (Se7en, Silence of the Lambs, etc). And yet, I enjoyed it. You could pick a worse batch of films to rip off, and something about the pious young farmer giving anal to the dress-maker gave me the giggles.
Antibodies really exceded my expectations on many levels. Firstly as a fictional story of a serial killer, this has to be the best one since The Silence of the Lambs. It was controversial, made you feel uncomfortable in parts, it was casted well, especially in the case of the serial killer. In terms of World Cinema, this is way up there with the best, it's also high up there as a Thriller, as there are twists and turns that left me shouting at the tv screen!

A painfully derivative film without a fresh idea to be seen, stealing most of the ideas from other works about serial killers, The twist is obvious from the beginning. Something shocking and disturbing happens about every 3 minutes. But worst of all was the sledgehammer bluntness of the religious aspects. I guess I was fairly invested in the story (as predictable as it was), and the style was well-copied from just about every serial killer thing ever, but it was generally a dud.
Silence of the Lambs meets Pedro Lopez and the Bible. The allegory is very heavy-handed in the last half, and the ending feels out of place. Other than that, an interesting meditation on the darker side of some serial killers' minds.
