'''''Antlers''''' is a 2021 [[supernatural horror film]] directed and co-written by [[Scott Cooper (director)|Scott Cooper]], and starring [[Keri Russell]], [[Jesse Plemons]], Jeremy T. Thomas, [[Graham Greene (actor)|Graham Greene]], [[Scott Haze]], [[Rory Cochrane]] and [[Amy Madigan]]. The screenplay was adapted from [[Nick Antosca]]'s short story "The Quiet Boy". The film follows a school teacher who suspects one of her students is suffering from personal problems in his home life, not knowing that he is harboring an evil demon in his house.

The project was announced in July 2018 with Cooper attached to direct, and the cast joining the next month. Filming took place in [[British Columbia]] in October and November 2018.

''Antlers'' premiered at [[Beyond Fest]] on October 11, 2021, and was theatrically released in the United States on October 29, 2021, by [[Searchlight Pictures]], after being delayed twice from an April 2020 release date due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the cinematography, acting and the horror elements, but criticized the screenplay.

==Plot==
In the small town of Cispus Falls in central [[Oregon]], Frank Weaver runs a [[meth lab]] out of an inactive mine. While his seven-year-old son Aiden waits outside in his truck, Frank and an accomplice are attacked by an unseen creature.

Three weeks later, twelve-year-old Lucas Weaver, Aiden's older brother, spends time roaming the town, bringing home [[roadkill]] and small animals he kills. Lucas's teacher, Julia Meadows, alarmed by his behavior and frightening drawings, attempts to bond with the troubled boy. Spurred by her own experience of [[childhood abuse]] at the hands of her [[mental illness|mentally ill]] alcoholic father, she suspects that Lucas is abused and becomes determined to help him. Since her father's suicide, she returned to Cispus Falls to be with her brother Paul, who is the local sheriff, and whom she feels guilty about abandoning when she was younger. Julia visits Lucas's rundown home and hears strange sounds.

A flashback shows Frank and Aiden returning home after the attack. Frank locked the two of them in the attic and demanded Lucas keep them locked no matter what. The animal carcasses Lucas collected are used to feed his ravenously feral father and younger brother.

Former sheriff Warren Stokes finds half of Frank's accomplice's corpse in the woods. Paul and Warren later discover the other half in the mine along with part of an [[antler]]. Meanwhile, Julia pressures the school principal Ellen into paying Frank a visit. Inside the Weaver house, Ellen discovers the room containing Frank and Aiden. After she unlocks and enters it, Frank kills her and antlers burst out of his body. Frank, now transformed into a savage antlered creature, kills Lucas's school bully Clint Owens when he harasses Lucas.

Ellen is reported missing and Julia visits the Weaver house, where she finds Ellen's car. The police arrive and discover Ellen's body along a charred corpse, presumably Frank's. Aiden is nowhere to be found. When Lucas returns home, he is taken to the hospital, where Julia and Paul are told he is severely malnourished, dehydrated, and shows physical signs of having been abused for some time. Julia lets Lucas stay with her.

The next day, while Lucas recovers in the hospital, Julia and Paul pay Warren a visit and show him Lucas's drawings. Warren identifies the figure as the [[wendigo]], a legendary [[Algonquin people|Algonquin]] demon that appears as a ravenous deer-like monster that passes from person to person. It can only be killed when it is weakest: as it is feeding and to extinguish its beating heart. Clint's body is discovered that night. After Lucas is discharged, he tells Julia that Frank is coming for him to take him to the mine and reunite with Aiden.

The transformed Frank uses Aiden to lure Paul's deputy sheriff Dan out and kill him. Julia and Lucas hide while Paul is badly wounded. Lucas escapes to the mine and Julia and Paul follow, armed with a pistol. Inside, Julia discovers Lucas and Aiden, and sees that Frank has indeed become a demon, currently feasting on a dead [[American black bear|black bear]]. After a fight, she kills the wendigo-possessed Frank with Lucas's help. The wendigo spirit passes into Aiden and Julia stabs Aiden to death, seemingly ending the curse.

Sometime later, Paul and Julia discuss keeping Lucas with them for a while despite concerns he may become possessed as well. As Julia and Lucas leave, Paul begins to cough up a black bile, as Frank did when he was first possessed by the demon.

Todd Gilchrist of ''[[TheWrap]]'' gave the film a mostly positive review, calling it "a handsome, meticulous, yet overly serious entry in a horror sub-genre explored too infrequently; Guillermo del Toro was right to choose Cooper, but what the film needs is more of del Toro's own exuberance to truly bring it to life."<ref>{{cite web |date=October 12, 2021 |last=Gilchrist |first=Todd |title=''Antlers'' Film Review: Mythological Horror Tale Heavy on Drama, Light on Excitement |url=https://www.thewrap.com/antlers-film-review-mythological-horror-tale-heavy-on-drama-light-on-excitement/ |website=[[TheWrap]] |access-date=October 12, 2021}}</ref> Linda Marric of ''[[The Jewish Chronicle]]'' gave the film a score of 3/5 stars, writing: "''Antlers'' is both dark in tone and aesthetically stunning to look at.
