Horns

THE GIST: Ig and Merrin are deeply in love, but when she is found murdered, everyone thinks Ig did it and he has no way of proving his innocence. One morning, he inexplicably wakes up with a couple horns growing out of his forehead. Annoyance aside, the horns seem to induce anyone he meets to reveal their deepest, darkest sins and desires. He decides to use this newfound power to find his love's real killer.

You look at the poster for Horns or you read what it's about and you might think this movie is so out there, it's got to be a pile of crap.

Well, I'm happy to report that that assessment couldn't be further from the truth. Sure, Horns isn't a great movie, but it's not a bad one either; anything but. I found the story to be well told, intriguing, and certainly compelling.

Daniel Radcliffe does a good job in the lead role, flanked by Max Minghella, Joe Anderson, Juno Temple, James Remar, Kathleen Quinlan, and David Morse.

THE BOTTOM LINE: I would think of this movie as a curiosity to check out, almost as if it just beckons you to do so.
