I guess I have some kind of disorder, but when I see Daniel Radcliffe somewhere, I immediately think of a wand, a scar and round glasses, but that's a subjective problem. Horns isn't a bad horror movie, I'd definitely say it has an unexpected twist, even good execution. The premise kind reminded me of The Crow, as there is also a form of revenge for a beloved girl who was murdered. In the end, I decided to give it an average rating – the film isn’t that bad, but it’s stuff we’ve seen elsewhere before, and the ending in the woods didn't really appeal to me.

Absolute psycho that often goes way over the top, but I enjoyed it more than part 1. The fact that it’s a sequel is capitalized upon and so everything is bigger, more explosive and the humor even crazier. Miller and Lord thrive on knick-knacks, antiracism and also... on male comradery. Awesome final credits.

Daniel Radcliffe wants to free himself from his fateful character so much that I feel like since the end of the Harry Potter saga, he deliberately only takes roles of characters that are crazy or not quite alright. Good for him. So far, it has paid off without an issue. Horns is a fantasy crime investigation movie that abstractly tells the story of a murder. I admit that without thehorns, it would be a classic crime investigation, but it’s all the more fun with them because I’ve never seen such an idea before. What’s more, it is filmed in such a clever way that there can be no talk of a B-grade movie. I have to say – it really made me happy.

Horns is a great creative trip that combine hardly combinable genre positions with ease, while even managing to make fun of their sacred clichés (the priest’s advice, gay cops). Alexandre Aja is not just a great horror director, but also a lover of dramatic stories with a romantic dimension who can skillfully juggle our favorite pulp genres. And this is his freshly original and hard to imitate wet dream, in which, by the way, Stephen King will also find something to make him happy.

Merrin becomes just a shadow of her book counterpart, and not even Juno Temple can save it. Daniel Radcliffe shows that he is a capable actor who is willing to shed his British accent to give everything to the role. He's more than bearable, and even though I initially thought he was a bad choice, I was ultimately satisfied. I was less satisfied with the excessive use of CGI effects and the fact that Alexandre Aja couldn't extract true horror from the book adaptation.
