CommentsXp Best movie ever!

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

meflyntz I'm sorry to be that guy, but the book was so much better. I never expect movies to be 100% faithful adaptations of books, because they would usually have to run four hours or more. Choices must be made. Things must be cut. But the cutting seemed particularly painful here. We got almost none of Lee's backstory, which, in the book, helps explain why he turned out the way he did and gives hints about what is to come. We don't see the development of Lee and Ig's friendship, which is essential to understand how Ig feels about Lee. Merrin is basically turned into a sex object here, instead of an interesting and confident young woman. Glenna is such a useless, throwaway character in the movie, it's worth asking why she was even included. The characters, who are all well-fleshed-out in the book, appeared shallow and one-dimensional in this movie. And these cuts came to allow for some bizarre additions. The fight between the reporters? Terry's hallucination sequence? Gratuitous treehouse sex scenes? I'd much rather have had some more character development.Overall, not terrible. Daniel Radcliffe does a pretty decent job as Ig - his American accent is believable, and while he verges on over-acting from time to time, he generally nails the sense of confusion, desperation, and finally acceptance that Ig possesses. If you're intrigued by the premise, though, I'd recommend the book instead. The author, Joe Hill, is Stephen King's son, and shows his father's flair for the creepy.

shannen-l-c 'Horns' is an utterly unique movie experience that had me (and my entire family!) hooked from beginning to end. It blends various genres that you wouldn't expect to work, but the result is an intriguing and engaging movie that evokes the whole human spectrum of emotion. Daniel Radcliffe's performance as the lead, Ig, is amazing and having spent my entire life unable to separate him from Harry Potter, this is the performance that broke him away from Harry Potter forever in my mind. Ig's character is intriguing and the question that was in my mind throughout was whether he was good or bad, the protagonist or the antagonist. The implication at the beginning is that he's grown the horns due to the evil he's committed, but as you follow him throughout the movie and see his humanity, you find yourself questioning that more and more. The idea behind the horns is somewhat unclear and ambiguous (which was one of the main issues I had with the movie), but they result in some rather dark yet humorous encounters that I thoroughly enjoyed watching. The religious connotations attached to the horns were also somewhat unambiguous and there were certain scenes towards the end that felt a little ridiculous and 'out there' even for this movie. However, I'm able to let that go on the basis that I enjoyed the movie as a whole. The plot itself evolves throughout the movie as it weaves in and out the various themes and genres, but by the end its focus is very much on the mystery and romance. Although it's definitely a flawed movie that could've been vastly improved by clearer explanations for the horns, the experience overall is enjoyable and unique. The themes of horror, thriller, mystery, romance, fantasy, religion and crime all come together in a very new way to create a movie that is very much a stand alone in the horror genre.

Platypuschow I think Daniel Radcliffe has damaged his career, he IS Harry Potter he took a role made it his own and it is now very difficult to see him as anything else.When I heard about this R rated title of his I had little interest but knew one day I'd get around to it. What I didn't realise was just how much I was going to enjoy it.Horns is nothing particularly special, but it has it's merits and I can confidently say I walked away satisfied with what I had watched.With a fantastic cast, a gripping storyline and a really quite neat ending I'm not entirely convinced Radcliffe will break free of the Potter curse but this was a good start.The Good:Excellent story Juno Temple David Morse The Bad: The "Potter" curse was certainly present Things I learnt from this movie: Where Is My Mind? is officially on every movies soundtrack Juno Temple is allergic to clothing

Alan Smithee Esq. I know I'm in the minority but I can honestly say I've never read a Harry Potter book or watched any of the movies. I say this because those are what I associate Daniel Radcliffe with and so I can't really speak to his acting in those. But he is magnificent in this film which is a dark comedy as well as it's a supernatural thriller. Another great film from director Alexandre Aja.
