Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe tattoo seen on Ig's arm reads "awake arise or be forever fall'n," which is a direct quote from John Milton's "Paradise Lost" in which Satan falls from Heaven.
- GoofsWhen Ig tells his brother Terry to swallow all his pills, Terry puts a few in his mouth and uses the little bit of liquid in his glass to swallow them. There shouldn't be any liquid left after that. In the next scene with Terry, the glass is full as he swallows more pills.
- Quotes
Ig Perrish: People say you should always do the right thing, but sometimes there is no right thing, and then... well then you just have to pick the sin you can live with.
- Alternate versionsThe UK cinema version reduces a rape scene and a very strong gory image to achieve a 15 rating.
Featured review
I loved 'Horns', It isn't yet another recycled movie to keep you entertained while you eat your popcorn, what it is is completely different from anything you've seen before. The film has no specific genre, it's a jumble of ideas. And I like that.
The acting is fantastic all round, At the start it was strange hearing Daniel Radcliffe speaking in an American accent but he does it brilliantly and his performance all the way through is just brilliant. There isn't a single character in the film who isn't 100% believable and vital to the story.
Visually, the film is also terrific. I could watch the whole thing on mute and still enjoy it hugely.
As many people have said before this definitely is not a film for everyone. It's a 'Love it' or 'Hate it' film and I can understand why many people are gathering at the 'Hate it' end of the spectrum, although, in my opinion, those people are wrong. I'd love it if more filmmakers took risks like this instead of playing it safe by recycling previous tired-out ideas.
I strongly recommend you give this film a go.
