Antibodies brings together a philosophically minded serial killer, a devoutly religious cop and a cynical filmmaker clearly itching to go Hollywood.

A German thriller that isn't shy about ripping off The Silence of the Lambs.
Kyle Smith, New York Post

The film's pace is brisk enough to maintain our full attention. Antibodies is not so much an art house movie as a well-made, commercial thriller that happens to be in German.
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Instead of reinventing the procedural mechanics of the serial-killer drama, filmmaker Christian Alvert adds to its current state of retardation with desperate atmospherics and a cheap disquisition on sex and religion.
Ed Gonzalez, Village Voice
Fresh
Antibodies is fairly riveting, thanks to Alvart's command of craft and tone. He's a director to watch.
