Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I think the high-votes that this movie got was due to the fact that it was an adaptation of Joe Hill's (Stephen King's son) novel of the same title. The book didn't performed well and it translated into the movie just the same. It doesn't invoke any sympathy on my side and I don't even feel like rooting for the characters except for Glenna (played by Kelli Garner, which was good in this movie although she had little scenes). Max Minghella as Lee Tourneau was a bad choice, his acting was substandard in this movie that I can't even take the whole concept of him being there seriously.Unless you have close to 2 hours to waste, then go ahead watch this movie.

Soon after being accused of murdering the love of his life, Ig grows a "lovely" pair of devilish horns, which grant him an interesting ability. He's able to make every person tell his most hidden and cruel desires and thoughts, while being able to persuade them into doing something they wouldn't have thought before (or have courage to do). By using his "gift", he sets out to uncover the identity of the true killer and punish him for his terrible deed.It's a dark and thrilling story, which brings an interesting feat into the movie's equation, the horns. They transform a normal investigation into something more deep and troubling, fact which is featured in great and explicit details. It's complex and unpredictable, making you lust for its conclusive finale, which thankfully, explains everything and does some much needed justice. It had a bit of monotony and some boring moments but overall it managed to create a bleak atmosphere in which its story can freely unravel. A very good movie.

Very original concept! Ideal for a night at home. Not a too complicated story and easy to follow. Some things in this story don't really make sense, but it's forgivable. Amazing twist towards the end of the movie resulting in giving you an emotional rush. Con's: Max Minghella delivers a weak performance (like always) and weak choise of music.I see some people giving this movie a 10/10 here and there. This movie is not that, but it sure is worth watching.

Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) and Merrin Williams are deeply in love since their early childhood. After her brutal murder, the town is outraged believing him to be guilty. Even his parents aren't sure. The evidence is against him. After sleeping with barmaid Glenna Shepherd, he wakes up the next morning with horns growing out of his head. Now, people confess to him their darkest thoughts, obey his command, and unleash their hidden desires. He can bring out their memories. He tries to piece together that fateful night and find Merrin's killer.The premise brings out the darkness of humanity. It does struggle to settle on a specific level. It has too much silliness at times which threatens to make the movie a light weight. As for the murder mystery, it seems obvious from early on. There are probably too many hints. This movie has a good idea set up. Radcliffe is a fine lead. It stumbles once in awhile but manages to cross the finish line with plenty in the tank.
