I havn't had a chance to blog this weekend so hopefully i can redeem myself with a movie review.
Without further ado, i present to you my review of Antibodies:

Now, before i get into too much detail, i would like to point out that this movie is in German. There are subtitles avialable, even on Netflix, but if you can't stand subtitles i could totally relate. Luckily, i know some decent German i was able to roughly follow along.
Directed by Christian Alvart (ironicily the protagonist's sons first name). Produced by Theo Baltz and Boris Schonfelder. This German horror film had some unique twists to it, but in general, fell short to break away from any other similiar gore movie.
Getting past the German aspect of this movie, right from the start you start you feel weary as the killer of 14 children gets caught inside his home. I have to admit, at the begining i had a slight mix up of some of the characters as scenes and time periods began rolling in. The acting throughout the movie was pretty bad, there were several instances where the actors would say something or make a facial expression that left you asking, "what the hell?". The most annoying thing has to be there were many things left unanswered towards the end, perphaps the producers were afraid of straying away from the main plot.
On a more positive note, the story line was very interesting, could have used a few more twists, but overly well executed. The scenery was amazing, it could suck you into the movie and made you feel as though you were there. I felt the lines choosen, especially the murder, Gabreal, were well thought out and fitting. Too bad the actors did a terrible job of acting upon them.
What more can i say? The movie hand in hand was very, average. Is it worth the 2 hours? If you can't find something better to do, then probably. If you do so choose to watch the movie, remember:
If you have Netflix or a friend that has it, you can stream this movie instantly and no hassle, as the same with most the movies i review on this blog, there is nothing to lose even if i say it is terrible!
My ratings:
Pro: Solid and consistant story line.
Con: Bad acting/ build up.
My decision: I'll be nice 6/10
