Very disappointing...
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
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)
I think the high-votes that this movie got was due to the fact that it was an adaptation of Joe Hill's (Stephen King's son) novel of the same title. The book didn't performed well and it translated into the movie just the same. It doesn't invoke any sympathy on my side and I don't even feel like rooting for the characters except for Glenna (played by Kelli Garner, which was good in this movie although she had little scenes). Max Minghella as Lee Tourneau was a bad choice, his acting was substandard in this movie that I can't even take the whole concept of him being there seriously.Unless you have close to 2 hours to waste, then go ahead watch this movie.
I have not read the novel so I won't judge the movie to how close it was to the source and generally I don't have a habit to do so, but it's always a plus when a movie does that. The movie is blessed with an amazing cast, however the execution of the story doesn't feel polished at times and it just feels that there are holes in the story that would be understood by reading the novel after watching the movie. As movie advanced to its ending I started to dislike how the story progressed, it all happened so fast and little bit awkward, the fight seemed dull and some things in it just hadn't made sense to me.Horns is above average movie for sure, but with just a little bit more polish to the story and it could've been one of the best movies I ever watched.
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.
