Hard-drinking, pill-popping, bong-ripping Lou and her best friend Sadie spend their days adrift in a drug-induced haze. But one wild night out becomes a bad trip that never ends when Lou wakes up with symptoms of an unexplained, highly abnormal pregnancy. As her due date approaches with alarming swiftness, the fear, paranoia, and conspiracy theories begin to pile up about the pregnancy.

Critics Consensus

Antibirth's outstanding performances anchor its wilder flights of fancy, making this surreal horror outing from writer-director Danny Perez more than a garish curiosity.

A film that ends even more absurdly than it begins, it is through its very chaos that Antibirth speaks to the frenzied desperation of being placed in a position well beyond your control and having no option but to endure the consequences.

2.5/4

Lovers of horror will likely be into this fertile homage and will appreciate Perez's new takes on horror's tried-and-true tropes and plot twists.

3/5

It's a scrappy debut with a standout performance from Lyonne, who manages to be sympathetic even while she drinks her way into further circles of hell, and a terrific return to form for Meg Tilly as well.

This is probably one of the most slow-moving horror movies I've ever seen especially a mystery horror.

4.5/5

Antibirth takes the WTF factor and turns it up to eleven while boasting good performances, gross effects, and a crazy and appropriate look.

The bizarre and climactic payoff is well worth it.

this is actually kind of a jumbled mess the narrative isn't that focused, the characters very unlikeable, and there's not enough scares going on the practical effects are icky but they are only around in spades and only in dream sequences the ending is where it starts getting interesting as to what's actually happening to Lou its the answer to the question of how she got pregnant and what it's doing to her it's very grotesque, I just wish the film focused on more of what was supposed to be shock value a big miss of a horror movie that should've had more of its focus

Started out pretty great. Thought the movie was amazing ... until the ending was revealed. Don't get me wrong the ending was hilarious ... but they could have gone a much better direction.
