“Antichrist” from Denmark’s Lars Von Trier is reportedly filled with graphic close-ups of sex and mutilation, which reportedly left audiences gasping, squirming and jeering, along with both cheers and boos from the film crowd at its close at the Cannes Film Festival.
The film stars Willem Dafoe and France’s Charlotte Gainsbourg as a couple who retreat to the woods to try to overcome grief at the death of their baby son.
It opens with a slow-motion close-up of sexual penetration, veers into a dramatic escalation of violence, and climaxes with an excruciating shot of Gainsbourg slicing off her clitoris with a pair of scissors. Ouch!!

Midian Films, the Round Rock-based film production company, first feature-length thriller ‘Jollenbach‘ is an official selection to the 2009 Salem Film Festival.
The thriller from the Midian team – including Dana Glover, Michelle Carter and David Anderson – stars Heath Thompson and Laura Ray, with cameo appearances by Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo, former local TV news anchor Cathy Conley Swofford and former sports anchors Hugh Lewis and Michael Coleman.
Captured partly in hand-held video, Jollenbach grabs you from the get-go with its suspenseful, Blair Witch Project-esque otherworldly and spine-chilling mood. In 2008, producers from an independent film company found a camera and videotape in an abandoned house as they were scouting locations. This dwelling was later identified as the “Jollenbach House” known for its malevolent history and believed to be haunted. The videotape contains disturbing and unsettling events captured by what appears to be amateur ghost hunters. Jason Pritchard and Mina Carroll, whose images appear in the video, have not been seen or heard from since. After an exhausting search, family and friends remain optimistic, but continue desperately to seek help in locating the missing couple. How can two people just disappear without a trace?
