À propos de ce film

From master-of-horror Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D) comes this supernatural, offbeat thriller starring beloved British actor Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter, Kill Your Darlings) and the talented Juno Temple (Magic Magic, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For).
Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) is accused for the violent rape and killing of his girlfriend, Merrin Williams (Juno Temple). After a hard night of drinking, Ig awakens, hungover, to find horns growing out of his head; they have the ability to drive people to confess sins and give in to selfish impulses. Ig decides to use this effective tool to discover the circumstances of his girlfriend's death and to seek revenge by finding the true murderer.
Daniel and Juno lead an all-star cast with strong support from David Morse (The Green Mile, The Hurt Locker) and Heather Graham (The Hangover I&II, Boogie Nights).
HORNS is based on the dark fantasy novel of the same name from New York Times best-selling author
Joe Hill (Heart Shaped Box) with a screenplay by Keith Burnin. Alexandre Aja, Riza Aziz, Joey McFarland and Cathy Schulman produce.

Notes et avis

Personally I didn't really like this movie,why? Well let me tell you why, it's got a great beginning I have to say I was really intrigued with the premise of it but half way through the movie your desperate for some sort of explanation from the movie makers has to why this is happening but they want you to keep guessing which is a good thing has it keeps the audience hooked, but the plot was so thin and clichéd that it was obvious and all they did was add a whole bunch of unnecessary sex scenes.

Certainly not the best adaption of a book, but definitely not the worst. Horns gives a good edge and OK acting to top Daniel Radcliffe's lead. Slightly rushing, but not much to overstay it's welcome. Think the wit and humour was misplaced in a movie about solving a murder, but Horns was okay. Just okay.

Enjoyed the first hour of the film with some great comedy elements written in for good measure. The second half of the film felt as though it was never going to end with the story going on and on with no closure.
