    Antibodie does fasten a tight squeeze on its audience, right from the get go, and even despite the long run time, just over two hours, it's a consistently tense ride.
  2. Films about serial killers have become so ubiquitous that they now form a subgenre of the crime movie. Even so, Antibodies, has a bracingly original take on the matter.
  3. 70
    Antibodies is fairly riveting, thanks to Alvart's command of craft and tone. He's a director to watch.
  4. Reviewed by: Robert Koehler

    Not content with a straight psychological police procedural, Alvart mixes in distracting -- and unconvincing --Biblical symbolism in a curious bid for weightiness.

    Even with some irritatingly obvious biblical allusions this is a suspensful and entertaining film. The lead actor is convincing as a conflicted cop between his job, his religious mores and his parental concern. The killer is more than sufficiently creepy as well as adding a well-handled plot twist. Expand
