Already dubbed "the most horrific movie ever seen" for explicit and pornographic sadomasochism, violence and occult content, the film "Antichrist" is not yet rated, but when it is, the rating it gets could determine whether or not it's seen in your local theater – and there may be something you can do about it.
The Christian media ministry MovieGuide is inviting people concerned about the film's gruesome and graphic content to join a petition of the Motion Picture Association of America to rate the movie NC-17, which would not only prevent children from viewing the film, but also dissuade many theaters from showing it.
"Coming to your local theater Oct. 23 is a movie that I can only call the most horrific movie ever seen," writes Dr. Ted Baehr, founder and publisher of Movieguide and chairman of the Christian Film & Television Commission. "It's called 'Antichrist,' and it's filled with a wicked worldview, vile pornographic scenes

“AntiChrist”? Isn’t he in the the White House?
I don’t know that is a very expansive question?
Promos for the Exorcist still messes me up. I hate that movie.
OK, then my family and I certainly won't be watching.
I like a good bloody, scary movie...Halloween and all that. The scariest movie I’ve ever seen though was Natural Born Killers. That movie was completely disturbing to no end and there’s no way I would ever watch it again. Talk about gore!
Before I read this thread, I hadn’t heard anything about this flick (yes I live in a remote village at the edge of the universe), but if Antichrist comes by the local theater - I may try to talk a few masocistic friends into movie night.
Censorship is wrong no matter what.
Shi-— I saw the exorcist at 34 and couldn’t sleep for a month... Don’t feel bad.
Check out this movie,i am not much for horror movies hate all those Freddies,halloweens,saws ete etc....
I watched this the other day and i was jumping up on the sofa...

I watched the unedited director's cut (with different ending) at home by myself in the dark. That movie scared the living s**t outta me!
I watched it again with my wife and she thought it was stupid. Horror, like comedy, requires you to be in the right mood.
“Censorship is wrong no matter what.”
even if it is from outside the govt?
**Ignore it, and it will bomb.**
Thought maybe some would have learned that after “Last Temptation of Christ”.. would have died a quick and obscure death if not for the Protests.. It proves ALL Publicity is good publicity, just spell the Name Right!!!
Exchange the child abuse with midgit abuse and that sounds like a typical weekend at Humble's place.
RE “Petition to stop ‘the most horrific movie ever seen’”
You are kidding right ??? A Petition to stop a movie??
I already saw half of the movie on the net last month - it was gross, artsy fartsy and not that great - didn’t bother seeing the rest of it...
Yeah i watched the same version,original US release ends in the car..
I told my wife it was a chick flick,turned the lights and watched her jump and scream...
Descent 2 has been made the directer of the first one is the producer...Have not seen it yet waiting for netflix..
The guy who did Descent did this movie,it is a mix of a Knights tale,Mad Max,28days later...

Doomsday is a post-apocalyptic 2008 British science fiction action film written and directed by Neil Marshall. The film takes place in the future, where Scotland has been quarantined due to the onset of a deadly virus. When the virus breaks out in London, political leaders send Major Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) to Scotland to find a cure based on evidence of survivors. Sinclair and her team run into two groups of survivors: marauders and medieval warriors. Doomsday was conceived by Marshall based on his vision of a futuristic soldier facing a medieval knight. In producing the film, he drew from various cinema, including Mad Max, Escape from New York, and other similar post-apocalyptic films.
Why do I care what other adults go to see?
In an interesting twist, the Cannes Film Festival gave the film an anti-award. Even the notoriously jaded film industry veterans couldn’t stand it.
