Critics Consensus

Horns is a bit of a tonal jumble, but it offers enough thoughtful horror-comedy -- and strong work from Daniel Radcliffe -- to hook genre enthusiasts.

You never want to rip into actors. They're a sensitive bunch. They do a job that brutalises the soul at the best of times... And yet I really struggle with Daniel Radcliffe.

It seems to have been made by people who couldn't decide if their film was a horror flick, a whodunit, or a Hellboy knockoff.

Only in spurts does the film achieve an outre flavour of pop Gogol.

Horror and supernatural aficionados should seek a bloody fairytale elsewhere.

It was just two hours of non-stop action really.

3/5

Aja keeps the genre plates spinning gamely and it's great to see Radcliffe revelling in the chaos, excise Potter once for all and literally grow a pair.

How have I never heard of this movie? Honestly gripping from beginning to end with stunning visuals and quality CGI. Ending is different but not in a bad way. Some predictable moments but also a lot of twists and turn. Great script, great acting. If this came out today I believe it would be a hit.

I’ll admit, I was on edge for most of *Horns* when I really didn’t need to be. It’s not just a dark supernatural movie—it blends romance, human nature, grief, and the damage people can do to each other. At least, that’s what I take from it. I love the use of color throughout the movie, and this was one of the first films I watched as an adult that made me look beyond the surface and think about what a movie was actually trying to say. I also really appreciate how raw the story feels and how it doesn’t explain everything for you. Some details are left for you to piece together on your own, which made the experience stick with me even more.

“Horns” This film starring Daniel Radcliffe was pretty good story with a lot of gore and a lot of romance and twist and turns. I think this film is definitely worth the watch if you like horror films because it gives you all you want and yet I said great love story as well. Just make sure you watch it to the end because it might surprise you.

Daniel Radcliffe gave a pretty strong performance in an otherwise wild and mediocre movie at times. But Heather Graham was so watchable and fun in this.

It's a really great movie, with good music. Unfortunately, like everyone else is saying, the ending is just awful. Imagine a hero who finally gets the full potential of their superpowers, only to do literally nothing with it and get beaten up and killed by a regular ass dude. It's the sort of thing comedy sketches are made of. And worst of all, the outro song is *terrible*, just to twist the knife in the audience even further.
