Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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

You would think that Daniel Jacob Radcliffe would be type cast, with a character like Harry Potter. However, that is not the case with the master pieces of a film called "Horns". I am not a large fan of horror, but this film is more of a murder mystery, that keeps you guessing on who done it, to the very end. Daniel Jacob Radcliffe character, girl, has been murdered and he knows, he didn't do it. For some reason he grows horns and sees everyone secret desires, which leads to him to the truth of finding the murder of his beloved girlfriend. Its one of the thoughts stories when you fall in love with your first girlfriend and you will be happy forever, well this one kind of ends that way. Note to self while watching this film, don't trust anyone, and stay focus on the main character, even though me might be weird to look at. This film show a good creative why of how evil is used to find good at the end.

I really enjoyed Horns, bought the DVD a while ago but never fancied it; and i think therein lies it's beauty. It's absurd on the face of it but it does give a platform to ask questions and that's what t's there to do, and it does it well. I felt nostalgic in places watching it and there're definite nods to genres and eras without losing any of it's originality. It's capacity for set plays enable the film to give some memorable scenes throughout and as others have said, it is beautifully shot. Vice and addiction are themes touched on as well as lies and betrayal but somehow is presented in a light that can be enjoyed and laughed at. It's kitsch and brash and off the wall; it's original and authentic and it's inspiring for film. Top stuff, all film is subjective in one degree or another and none are ever perfect and nor should they be. But this is a fun and movie great Friday night movie with a bit of booze.The hospital scene is amazing.

While I enjoyed the overall concept of the film, the execution by Aja was lacking and sporadic to say the least. Like many people have been saying, the tone is all over the place, at times Horns is a comedy when it should be horror, and other times its horror when it should be more mysterious. It's very inconsistent, had the movie stuck to a solid horror/mystery tone, I think the movie could have been fantastic. Just when the movie starts to get interesting and perplexing, the comedic tones come through and ruins the moment. However, the 'demon/devil' idea was great, original and chilling though I'm not sure what the point of it was in the end game? And his powers, of course, come off as very interesting and some good comedy bits arise because of it. It's hard to recommend this movie on a more serious note since I think the story was pretty hit or miss, but there certainly were moments in the movie I thought were pretty great/original. But I think that if you are having the main character turning into the devil in the flesh, you should probably avoid a comedic approach and stick to something a bit more sinister. Horns has some interesting moments but ultimately fails to maintain its mystery-narrative and comes off as scattershot.
