Antibodies (2005)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Starring: Wotan Wilke Möhring, André Hennicke, Hauke Diekamp, Heinz Hoenig, Nina Proll

Plot – Spoilers:
Michael Martens is a cop in a small German farming village, who’s obsessed with finding the killer of a little girl who was brutally murdered a few years back. The murder shook the village up and Martens sees himself as the one who can bring an end to the suspicion and prevailing fear.

The movie begins with a killer being arrested by cops in a dramatic scene that involves him frolicking around in the nude, smeared in blood. A pedophile who killed young boys, he denies butchering the young girl. The detectives assigned to the case don’t believe his bullshit rants and bring in Martens to see if he can get the killer to confess.

Martens is already struggling with the distance his obsession has added to his relationships with his community and family members, and the visit to the city fills him with temptation, guilt and taste for a dark unexplored side.

Wotan Wilke Möhring as Martens with his boyish looks is believable as the naive, yet tormented small-town cop. The killer senses his vulnerabilities and psychologically tries to play with his mind, planting seeds of suspicion that threaten to tear Martens apart.

Nina Proll stars in a short sex scene that elicits previously unexplored impulses from Martens.

Favorite Scenes:
Martens and his stuck-up disapproving father-in-law: All their moments together where Martens despite his position of power as a policeman finds himself helpless and bullied by the vindictive older man. The dog-killing scene is quite impactful because in the lead up to it, we start to believe that at this point in his life, Martens only seems to be able to connect with his dog. And to see it shot dead makes us feel for his loneliness and misery.

Martens and his son: Not my Son, Not my Son!
After the little pyromaniac wannabe sets fire to his sister’s dollhouse, Martens loses it briefly. In the lead up to this scene, we see Martens is struggling and traumatized by the concept of evil to the point of losing interest in hunting deer. To then see his son slipping away into the dark side right in front of his eyes becomes unbearable.

If he blew his son’s head off and THEN the copper came up to him with the book that would have made this a 5 star film for me. It’s still kinda good. 3 stars.
