Movie Review: Horns with Daniel Radcliffe

[shadowfireflame]

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Yay, I’ve finally gotten to see Daniel Radcliffe’s newest movie, Horns, which I’ve been looking forward to! In it, he plays Iggy, a young man devastated by the murder of his girlfriend, Merrin (played by Juno Temple), not only because she died unexpectedly but because he is being accused of murdering her. Aaand then

Interesting! I really enjoyed the book Horns, but not that keen on Radcliffe (don't dislike him, just don't have any particular warmth). Not sure I'd watch this, but it was good to read a revew :)

Ooh, I haven't read the book, but the movie was fun. I was thinking, and tonally, it wasn't that different from Mark Gatiss' The League of Gentlemen, kind of horror comedy?? Anyway, not for everybody, but I enjoyed it. :)

Hmm, I watched the trailer, and now I might even see it! It does look like a well made movie, and the trailer seemed to indicate they might have done a good job 'translating' it, so to speak :)

Ooh, I hope they did! Please let me know if you end up seeing it! :)

Radcliffe is great as always, I really liked the whole scene when he woke up and first discovers the horns on his head - it would have been really easy to either make it too dramatic or too hammy, but he played it perfect.

I know, right?! I'm so happy that he's matured into a very good actor. :)
