368. Horns (2013)

October 8, 2014

'Horns' was awesome! Aside from the completely illegible closing credits, this was a fantastic movie. It was also surprisingly predictable for such a weird movie. Anyway, I love that Daniel Radcliffe has been able to shed his Harry Potter identity without resorting to alcoholism or drugs. Instead, he is making competent and successful horror movies! Not that 'Horns' is necessarily a "horror" film, but it has several of the elements (and he did do 'The Woman in Black'). Radcliffe stars as a young man whose life is stripped from him when his girlfriend ends up murdered and everyone thinks he did it. One day he wakes up with horns growing out of his head that everyone can see but nobody seems to mind. The horns cause people to divulge their darkest secrets to Radcliffe and do things they normally wouldn't do (they basically bring out the bad in people). He uses his new powers to get information out of people about any clues that could point him to the real killer. I really enjoyed this movie. I figured out who the real killer was about ten minutes in, but I still had a great time watching it and I hope Radcliffe continues to make more movies like this.
