Daniel Radcliffe has had to spend alot of time and
effort shaking off the Harry Potter Saga. Its not done him any harm though spending
time singing and dancing, with some moments of nudity and horses and accents on
the stage of some high profile shows. Radcliffe now having been a little quiet
on the film front appears to be picking up the pace with some interesting and
versatile roles.
Horns is a really interesting choice for Radcliffe, Loosely based on Joe Hill’s novel of the same name. Radcliffe plays Ig Perrish a reclusive man whom has been targeted and victimised over the murder and rape of his girlfriend Merrin (Juno Temple). Ig wakes up one morning and discovers he has newly developed superpowers and horns. Ig uses these powers to discover the true identity of the person who killed his beloved Merrin. This is begins as a black comedy but throughout the picture it becomes more of a horror. It’s thoughtful and the casting all round is strong. The only downside is it loses its pace every now and again which takes it from being a great film to and ok film, but the cult fan in me still loves it despite its shortfalls.
