Frightening/Intense Scenes: There are curtain scene that may offend or disturbing to some viewers
Story: In the aftermath of his girlfriend's mysterious death, a young man awakens to strange horns sprouting from his temples all chaos comes from it.
Likes : This is not a bad storyline for a film special the novel of Joe Hill about A man is accused of murdering his girlfriend & the town people baying for blood. until one morning, after having sex with the town trollop, he discovers that he is sprouting a pair of horns from either side of his head.
This is where the concept of the story comes in to play, as it show these horns are for a reason as they say when someone take something you love from you, you must become the devil to take revenge, this show with everyone he meets they tells him of their desires, be they sexual, violence, whatever. More importantly, people tell him the truth which results in some of the funniest, outrageous moments your see in a film although it dose give off this dark chilling concept as the film progress.
It become a man hunt to find out who the person was that took is love away from him.
The film is a clever blend of horror and humour without going overboard on either with a really good entertaining feel to it so your not find yourself getting bored of it, it keeps you watching as you want to find out what going to happen next.
As the movie progresses, it does take on a darker tone which really works for the film & gives this a edge. Daniel Radcliff has certainly come a long way from his Harry Potter days, and has proven himself to be a very good actor who is quite versatile in doing variety of other roles over the few film since harry potter. The film was original & fresh it is always a good thing when it comes to film's as most film do seem to have the same concept where this is new.
There is moment's where this film can become emotional special a curtain part of the film it becomes a bit of a tear jerker moment which added a nice tone balancing the darker tone give the film a light mood.
There is the concept of the horn that might leave some people thinking why has he got horn well the film dosent quite explain this but you have to understand that when you want revenge it bring out the demon in you this is why he has the horns in the film.
The acting is brilliant from Daniel Radcliff, as I said above, his a really good actor. Final they put the beautiful Juno Temple in a movie where she's not playing some dumb bimbo or town trash which works for her acting as she a brilliant actress in this film even when it was just a short part for her her part were flawless.
David Morse is always awesome. He's a very under-used actor, which is really too bad. The rest of the supporting cast was good as well. The title of the film is a little questionable but easy to look past as this is a great film to watch.
Dislikes : Some people might not get the concept of why he has the horns in the first place, which i do think should of been explain a bit more but i got the concept of it but some other might not.
Overall : Great mix of horror & humour, great acting, , brilliant fresh original story.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 9.5 out of 10 for original story.
