  Review by Naughty aka Juli Norwood ★★★ 11

  Good attempt... was intriguing initially but eventually the gimmick wore off and by then the story ran out of steam!

  The good news I finally reached the point I can accept and like Daniel Radcliffe in a role other than Harry Potter! He actually was pretty darn good in this!

  Was an interesting watch and not a bad way to spend your time as long as you are the kind that can suspend disbelief easily!

  This movie makes about as much sense as people who think Blackhat is a good movie.

  You can classify Horns as a horror film, right? If you can then this is the best horror film released this year. Horns blends that horror with fantasy, mystery and even comedy. In fact I think I found myself laughing more during this film than I have during a lot of other true comedies this year.

  Daniel Radcliffe is legit. He was good in What If, a romantic comedy that didn't exactly require fantastic acting chops. Horns has a little more for him to bite into and he does wonderful work. He's surrounded by some well acted characters played by likes of Juno Temple, Heather Graham, David Morse and Max Minghella. Make…

  Hoop-Tober, Film 31 of 31:

  This film is hilarious. It's not meant to be taken seriously but it is tonally confused in the sense that it doesn't attack comedy and drama simultaneously; it alternates between sections of pure comedy and sections of (attempted) pure drama that don't work as well as the comedic ones. But the comedic ones do work - at least for me, they did - and they're the saving grace of the film. The performances are fine, the cinematography is fine (although it does have that ridiculous artificial glow I hate that more and more films are starting to have these days) and the direction is fine - I like Alexandre Aja. Quite a bit, actually. The…

  Good evening and welcome fellow children of Chaos.

  Horns us obviously based on a book. Needlessly wordy and with a strange time structure. However I enjoyed it, for the most part.

  An innocent man blamed for the death of his lover grows horns that force people to tell him their secrets.

  The first half of the movie is amazing. I love the idea of using forced confession to solve the mystery. It is harder than you'd think.

  Then it goes into this revenge mode and the movie becomes far less interesting. I still enjoyed it quite a bit though. Daniel Radcliffe is quite good

  100-word review: Conceptually awesome film that I wish to love more, but which I have difficulties with due to a lack of exploration of said concept, a handful of disappointing performances, and a botched finale (with some questionable special effects). Daniel Radcliffe certainly isn't the problem, nor is Juno Temple, except for the fact that she's not enough in this. Think away the concept, and the whole crime story becomes very boring and predictable; had that not been the case, and had the fantasy element actually been coupled with a structurally engaging mystery, this would've been a great personal favourite of mine.

  Intriguing concept goes unexplored in favor of bland whodunit about the rape/murder of a young woman. Yay.

  Review by JΔΣΞS Β ★★★

  Directed by Alexandre Aja (Haute Tension / Mirrors), Horns is a dark-comedy thriller mystery film with a bit of fantasy thrown in. And If that sounds like a lot of genres to juggle, it is - and Horns does it darndest to keep those balls in the air. And speaking of balls, Daniel Radcliffe commits as a man accused of the rape and murder of his girlfriend who uses the magical lasso-of-truth-like properties of the literal horns growing out of his head to uncover the real killer.

  There is a real attempt at greatness here which should be noted and encouraged - and at times the film surprises - but not always in a good way.

  Will be discussed on our next Top 10 Last 10 podcast episode.

  Review by nathaxnne [hiatus: blast injury] ★★½ 6

  'Horns' is a melodramatic fable of young love lost, murder, the resentments that linger within our relationships and within ourselves, and being given infernal gifts to solve a problem when nothing else will work. When 'Horns' is operating in 'To Die For'-style modalities of 'what evil lurks in the heart of' and the suppressed truths we don't want to admit to ourselves it is arguably at its best. When it adds layers of 'what-next?' absurdist humor it is even better. When these things collide with a weird Puritanical streak and efforts at broad multiplex dramatics, it almost works, but then doesn't quite and produces as sense of self-cancelling inert frustration. I love Alexander Aja's movies and this one had plenty…
