This film is incredible, its purpose is to build a mystery around love, comedy and Satanic powers. This it does amazingly with great gusto.

I had to give this movie a 10 because I must say I enjoyed it more then most of the unoriginal dribble in movies these days. Most movie any more are either remakes or rehashes of the same by the numbers stuff we have seen a thousand timesI had to give this movie a 10 because I must say I enjoyed it more then most of the unoriginal dribble in movies these days. Most movie any more are either remakes or rehashes of the same by the numbers stuff we have seen a thousand times before. Does that merit a high score on its own? No. But this movie kept me interested from start to finish and I felt the story was well told and concluded perfectly. Daniel Radcliffe did a great job with it and proved he can act and move beyond Harry Potter. I think critics should get there heads out of there butts and see good original content as a plus instead of waiting for the next remake or the same old cookie cutter idea..… Expand

One thing I'll say is that it's different. Like, in the vein of James Gunn's "Super" different. I enjoyed it, though. I haven't read the book, but I thought the movie was pretty solid.

The story is about Daniel Radcliffe character when one day, he inexplicably finds a set of horns has grown out of his head - and it gives him a new power - a power to finally find the person responsible for the devastation in his life.

This movie started off pretty damn good with are main character which you hate at the start, but as the film went on he became a bit likable. Daniel Radcliffe in the film was really good in this movie and I want to see him in more movies. I liked that light dark tone the movie started off with, until the last third of this movie kind of fell a part for me. The movie lost it senses of fun and lost it's dark humor with the last part of the movie being pretty weak. But the directing I though was good and Daniel Radcliffe was brilliant in this film.… Expand

I am a bit confused by the average reviews. I don't write many reviews on metacritic but I figured this film is due an honest normal movie goer review.

Bottom line...it is way out there as far as plots go....and I loved it. It is dark, funny and I though well done over all. It is not an artsy fartsy film meant to win awards and woo audiences....it is meant to hit you in the face and make you enjoy yourself. I can't stress enough to give this a try. Besides....it is nice to see 'Harry Potter" not being anything even remotely close to a "Harry Potter".… Expand

Funny and smart, Horns is a fable crossed with a murder mystery.

This is a little movie, despite its star. If you go in expecting blockbuster material you'll be disappointed but if you're looking for a fun distraction that is tightly scripted and well made, you'll enjoy Horns.

Really good acting,really good special effects and an original story are what makes this movie special.Even if we sawed coming who the real killer was, and even if his death was stupid, the movie was still enjoyable.

Primarily this mystery is a horror-comedy. Just not a scary one. That's not really a bad thing. The craziness of the situation and genuinely good story kept me invested. The laugh-out-loud funny moments and excellent performance by Daniel Radcliffe also helped.

It's more emotional and weird than one would have guessed even with the absurdity of the premise. It's clear that the film is in on the craziness going on. There's a tone of self-awareness. However rather than tripping over that knowledge like so many other self-aware films do, "Horns" uses it to add some believable humor to the mix. It's darkly funny to watch people confess and act upon their deepest and darkest secrets, as it should be.

While the humor and magic inherent to the tale are appreciated, what really keeps you invested in unraveling exactly what happened to "Iggy's" (Radcliffe) girlfriend is the heart of the tale. All the betrayal, mystery, drama, and questioning really wouldn't mean a thing if the audience wasn't convinced that Iggy really did love her. Radcliffe once again delivers another stunning performance to make sure that we do.

Obviously the horns are a big part of this "Gone Girl" style flick. Without the magic there wouldn't be the humor or the touches of horror that help give it the edge. I was really interested in figuring out just what caused the horns and other supernatural elements to go on in the first place. That's where the movie kind of stumbles. While it delivers every explanation you want for the actual murder story, we're left in the dark as to the supernatural part. It's really the movie's only disappointment for me. Given the religious undertones surrounding the horns and other powers there could have been yet another layer of depth to the film.

Unfortunately that isn't the case. It's kind of let down, but the rest of the movie is so good I can't fault it too much. It's an emotional, darkly funny, sweet and deranged story that brings several genres together to create something new and exciting. With another stunning performance by Radcliffe who is backed up a (mostly) stellar cast we have another delightfully weird movie from the Harry Potter star that has the potential to charm in new, strange ways. While I can't speak for everyone I can say that it did hook me and I highly recommend giving it a shot.… Expand

Expected a very little, but delivered very hugely.

The first word I said after the watch was 'unbelievable'. That means the movie is not bad, but how come I missed it for this long. This is the best dark-fantasy movie I have seen recently.Expected a very little, but delivered very hugely.

The first word I said after the watch was 'unbelievable'. That means the movie is not bad, but how come I missed it for this long. This is the best dark-fantasy movie I have seen recently. But earlier, I thought it would be like the movie 'Tusk' which made me a little uncomfortable to watch. So in the end, what's the difference between the tusk and/or the horn. Both come in a pair and animals have it to defend themselves from the threat. When I watched that movie, I lost interest in this. Yep, it is a silly reason and now I feel bad for that.

This movie dominated by the British cast, especially for having Daniel Radcliffe and Juno Temple I thought it was British film, actually it was not. It was a Canadian-US jointly produced, adapted from a book of the same name and directed by 'Mirror' director. The story was so good, not genuine, though explored the theme very well. For every few minutes later, the narration was taking a turn and that made the plot to get lot tighter before heading for the concluding part.

Maybe this the best movie of Radcliffe that I've seen after his goodbye to 'Harry Potter' movie series. I don't think he's a chocolate boy type, but this kind of movie suits him well. I think he should get muscles for more movie like this, but his height is another negative factor. The film was entirely shot in Canada, the photography was great, music as well as performances. Even those settings like woods, tree house feels kind of wet English and Scottish atmosphere that fits for a devilish mythical charactered movie like this. I regret for reviewing it so delayedly, but anyway I did it and over it, so I hope you watch it very soon as well if you haven't seen it yet.

I believe that it is the most underrated movie of all time, because the critics were so low IQ to figure out its meaning. The concept was superb, and had a very deep meaning which was given in metaphorical ways all the time, but I guess some people who call themselves critics couldn't even be close to parallel the meaning and translated it litterally, word by word, like little kids. If you really want a good and deep movie, that will get will keep you thinking for some time this is the one. But in order to watch it you have to put aside all the religious "stereotypes" and look for its true meaning, the one that the creator of the moive wanted to pass to you.… Expand
