Beaks here...

Having seen and greatly admired Lars von Trier's ANTICHRIST, I would highly recommend that you avoid this whole "Chaos Reigns!" meme until you get a chance to check the movie out for yourself. It opens theatrically next Friday, October 23rd, and will be available On Demand beginning Wednesday, October 21st. You can wait - and I think you'll be glad you did. Because this motherfucker is going to soil your soul, Jack! (For more, visit IFC Films' website.)

TURN BACK NOW! SPOILERS A-COMIN'!

For those of you who want in on the meme early, here's the deal: there's a scene in von Trier's psychological horror film - which turns into a big ol' snip-and-smash body horror film in the third act - where Willem Dafoe happens upon a not-so-kindly fox in the middle of the most sinister forest on Earth. It's a genuinely terrifying moment in the context of the film. Then the fox talks. Reactions to this most unexpected turn of events vary.

New York Magazine's Vulture blog, which boorishly spoiled the film's third act craziness in a freaking headline during the Cannes Film Festival, has the video.

And now, thanks to my pal Peter Debruge, this madness has infected the stop-motion world of Wes Anderson's THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX.

I have no idea if this is going to translate into significant business for von Trier's film, but I implore all horror fans to choose ANTICHRIST over SAW VI next weekend. And once the movie's done smashing your junk, you should buy the t-shirt from Mondo Tees!

I'll be back next week with a perfectly confounding Lars von Trier interview. Chaos reigns, my friend.
