I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
In the aftermath of his girlfriend's mysterious death, a young man awakens to find strange horns sprouting from his temples. Horns is far from a masterpiece and it has it's weird moments for sure like the whole telepathy thing everytime the protagonist was touching someone or the gay scene in the police car was pretty disgusting but it also has it's great moments which is Daniel Radcliffe as a whole cause he truly did a fantastic job and the same goes for Juno Temple and the rest of the cast was fine too plus the special effects? Were outstanding. (7.0/10)
This film tells the story of Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe), a man accused of killing his girlfriend. Everyone is against him and he's desperate claiming his innocence until the day he wakes up with two ram's horns growing from his forehead. Whoever saw Daniel Radcliffe in the Harry Potter saga surely will have some difficulty to recognize him here. He has matured and seems to have taken advantage of this saga, where he shared the screen with dozens of consecrated actors, to learn from them. The plot begins very well, with the central character being target of an intense and anticipated social judgement. The origin of the horns is never clear, nor the reason why they have such a powerful effect. The ending is unfortunate, in the sense that I expected something stronger and more interesting. The cast plays its role satisfactorily but not surprisingly. The exception is Radcliffe, who shines and carries the film in his back, proving that he's not just Harry Potter but a young promise of the seventh art. The film, in general, is far from being excellent, but complies with what it advertises for most of the time.
Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) and Merrin Williams are deeply in love since their early childhood. After her brutal murder, the town is outraged believing him to be guilty. Even his parents aren't sure. The evidence is against him. After sleeping with barmaid Glenna Shepherd, he wakes up the next morning with horns growing out of his head. Now, people confess to him their darkest thoughts, obey his command, and unleash their hidden desires. He can bring out their memories. He tries to piece together that fateful night and find Merrin's killer.The premise brings out the darkness of humanity. It does struggle to settle on a specific level. It has too much silliness at times which threatens to make the movie a light weight. As for the murder mystery, it seems obvious from early on. There are probably too many hints. This movie has a good idea set up. Radcliffe is a fine lead. It stumbles once in awhile but manages to cross the finish line with plenty in the tank.
OK, my BIGGEST hang up with this film, is Joe King displays a clear homophobia in this movie. Why have a gay character who is only gay if "satan" makes him come out of the closet?Why then, after displaying that this character is gay, do you THEN murder him in the most messed up visual way? Don't gay people deserve happiness?What is the point other than to display that you don't like homosexuals?It was a point in the film that did NOT progress the story along- there was NO reason to do that. But hey- the DRUG ADDICTED brother gets to live right- cause cocaine and pills galore is just peachy right? THAT behavior is somehow worth promoting eh?Senseless portrayal of gay people. I don't recommend this film and the ending is ridiculous. There is NO Explanation for the film, NO Wrap up- nothing it is just over...Im sure 12 years old love this film.Edit: Pretty important to note... When the gay character is killed off- well its as if he never existed cause NO ONE of the other characters even cares.
