Los Angeles Times

Although Alvart lays on the biblical allegory too heavily at times, the film's pace is brisk enough to maintain our full attention. Antibodies is not so much an art house movie as a well-made, commercial thriller that happens to be in German.

By Kevin Crust FULL REVIEW

L.A. Weekly

Antibodies is fairly riveting, thanks to Alvart's command of craft and tone. He's a director to watch.

By Chuck Wilson FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

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.

By Kirk Honeycutt FULL REVIEW

Film Threat

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.

By Eric Campos FULL REVIEW

New York Post

The chatty killer and the nervy atmosphere are both so depraved that the film, though it contains hardly any explicit violence, is like stepping into a blood Jacuzzi, and there is a biblical severity to the ending.

By Kyle Smith FULL REVIEW

Variety

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

By Robert Koehler FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

As is often the case when ambitious young filmmakers have murder and profit on their minds, Mr. Alvart is finally less interested in the nature of man than in the cool stuff you can do with a camera, which he tosses about the set, swooping it up and down and all around, without rhyme or reason.
