What's it about:
Blamed for the murder of his girlfriend, Ignatius Perrish awakens one morning to find that he’s grown a pair of horns. Armed with new supernatural powers, he sets out to find the true killer.
What the critics say:
The result is that a story with a couple of good ideas founders for lack of a third or fourth good idea.
- Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Horns is too long and too convoluted, and it doesn't take nearly as many risks as it might have, but in its off-kilter way it has something to say about humankind and the nature of evil.
- Bruce Ingram, Chicago Sun-Times
Radcliffe gives it his all and makes the film worth seeing. But the supernatural story feels scattered.
- Claudia Puig, USA Today
Somewhere inside this lumberingly long fantasy-horror is a smart little black comedy trying to scuttle out.
