Laden with doom, viscera and its own seriousness, Antlers is a sometimes effective, sometimes frustrating horror movie.

Cooper doesn't pull a single punch, and this may be his bleakest storytelling endeavor yet.

It's satisfyingly gross - there's plenty of black bile, crunching bones and half-chewed bodies.

This is a compelling and emotionally complex film, but it also has some of the year’s best gore and jump scares. I highly recommend it.
