I first passed on this movie because I thought it would be another art-house movie that has Daniel Radcliffe with horns. I will say Daniel Radcliffe fit his role in this really well. So the plot is about a guy that is going through major depression after the death of his girlfriend. Soo he starts to grow horns that grant him special powers. The momentum for this movie keeps building until he finds out who the killer is than it starts to drag a bit. But I did like the mystery and character interactions in this. Especially since it delves into the dark and twisted side of what the characters are thinking. This isn't really a horror movie, but more of a emotional mystery movie that revolves around love and revenge. With supernatural and dark comedic elements that play a huge factor in the story. For the most part this movie had my attention from start to finish. Mainly because I found the character interactions to be intriguing, sometimes humorous and because I actually cared about what was going to happen next. Overall this is actually a immersive and fun movie experience.

7.6/10

Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) and Merrin Williams are deeply in love since their early childhood. After her brutal murder, the town is outraged believing him to be guilty. Even his parents aren't sure. The evidence is against him. After sleeping with barmaid Glenna Shepherd, he wakes up the next morning with horns growing out of his head. Now, people confess to him their darkest thoughts, obey his command, and unleash their hidden desires. He can bring out their memories. He tries to piece together that fateful night and find Merrin's killer.

The premise brings out the darkness of humanity. It does struggle to settle on a specific level. It has too much silliness at times which threatens to make the movie a light weight. As for the murder mystery, it seems obvious from early on. There are probably too many hints. This movie has a good idea set up. Radcliffe is a fine lead. It stumbles once in awhile but manages to cross the finish line with plenty in the tank.

First I must gives kudos to Keith Bunin (screenplay),Joe Hill (novel) for giving us a film that was different.

Iggy Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) is accused of killing his girlfriend Merrin (Juno Temple). The whole town is against him. We are convinced he is not the killer, although we don't know for sure. His childhood friend is defending him as he walks free, wanting to know who is the real killer.

Through circumstances Iggy, who drives a Gremlin and listens to David Bowe, grows horns These aren't any horns. They make people around him lose their inhibitions and tell the truth...making his quest to find the real killer a bit easier if not more interesting since Iggy can make devilish suggestions.

I liked the little details in the film, the Gremlin, the pitchfork, Bowe, and the biblical license plates (GEN 138, 2036 LUK). I am feeling that I missed a few. The storyline keeps you engaged as we quest for the truth.

The film is classified as a drama/fantasy/horror. Worth a view.

Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Juno Temple).
