IFC is giving Lars von Trier's Antichrist (review) a pre-Halloween release in Los Angeles and New York, with the film to go out October 23. IFC, the biggest buyer at this year's Cannes Film Festival, snapped up the psychological erotic-horror title during the fest. The pic, which has sexually explicit content, stars Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe. The Cannes jury presented Gainsbourg with its actress award. IFC will widen the theatrical release after the platform launch. The company, which usually releases theatrical titles simultaneously on video-on-demand, has set a VOD date of Oct. 21 for "Antichrist."

Yes! but i figured this movie would be given a wide release it sounds like its going to be on VOD and in a few theaters and thats it. It deserves better than this. I heard they cut it down to an R (which sucks) for theaters... but we'll have to wait and see what happens. I plan on getting the UNCUT DVD when it comes out to, hopefully they will have a lot of features on it.

This has a creepy feel. I dig it. I as well will probably just by the uncut version when it's available. No need to see the R version.

Why release this film uncut? Its IFC - cant they be independent and fuck the rating systems? Dont they know the uncut is what we wanna see? Why hold out for DVD sales? If thats the case fuck it. Ill just watch that fucking Spongebob movie one more time....
