Horns

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. (12/10/2014)

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. (31/03/2015)

Very decent. Daniel Radcliffe's career is assured, here he only confirms his acting qualities. It's funny, entertaining, original and very clever. The ending is very spectacular, a perfect shot of a stick and a breathtaking scene with snakes, which is already a cult classic for me. It could have been shorter, but I still had a decent time. 75% (05/10/2014)

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. (13/10/2014)

A reasonably faithful, but mostly good adaptation of the book. I was a bit worried about Daniel Radcliffe, but he was fine in the end and handled Ig in all situations, and I was also curious to see what the somewhat unbalanced Alexandre Aja would do for me. In the end I have to say that Horns has a very good atmosphere, it's entertaining and quite suspenseful... and if nothing else, it features Juno Temple, gorgeous as always. The only thing that disappointed me was the slightly off finale – even some TV series have better ones. But whatever. (19/04/2020)
