''Antichrist'' is a 2009 [[Horror]] film written and directed by [[Lars Von Trier]]. Imagine what a film co-directed by the [[Stanley Kubrick]] who made ''[[The Shining]]'', the [[David Lynch]] who made ''[[Eraserhead]]'' and the [[Andrei Tarkovsky]] who made ''[[Stalker (Film)|Stalker]]'' could look like, and you're getting close to the idea.

The movie started a heated controversy during the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, some critics praising it as a master work of art, some others decrying the very explicit sexual and violent content, or even accusing the film of being strongly misogynistic.
