What the Antichristos is not about...

A grieving couple retreat to ’Eden’, their isolated cabin in the woods, where they hope to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse… blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Lars von Trier's film "Antichrist" however beautifully shot (mostly digital and probably with Red cameras) misses the whole point of what the Antichristos is all about.
It is quite amazing that this famed film maker stayed 'true to form' when he remade the Wicker Man but rewrites 'the greatest ending ever told?'

John's Revelation, when understood, is scarier than this film could ever be. But then again he's Danish nothing will scare him... except, of course, for his own depression... and maybe if he pondered judgement day.

Neither the Cannes nor God liked this little movie.
