Horns

Maybe, it didn't go as well as it could've been, but the story itself is quite refreshing. Besides, Daniel Radcliffe hasn't made me think of Harry Potter even for a moment, and that means a lot!

Daniel Radcliffe leads the cast in Horns, a bizarre horror/fantasy about the dynamics of good and evil. Accused of killing his girlfriend and labeled a murderer by his community, Ig Perrish mysteriously grows a pair of horns on his head which are able to compel people into confessing their darkest secrets and desires. Co-starring Juno Temple, Joe Anderson, and Heather Graham, the film has a solid cast. Additionally, the storytelling does a good job at building mystery and intrigue as to both the murder and Ig’s transformation. However, the story ends up being rather formulaic, and the resolution is kind of unsatisfying. Also, there are a couple of unnecessary plot elements that don’t really payoff. Yet despite its problems, Horns is an evocative and daring film that explores some interesting themes.
