Harry Potter may have killed his g/f. Everyone thinks he did. Then he grows horns. He also gets powers where people confess their darkest secrets and obey his simple commands. Poor Harry. He just wants to make it right.
This was quite entertaining throughout - an adult fairytale, a whodunnit, a black comedy, an engaging story, a brilliant role for Potter actually. Harry will never shake off Harry, despite the fact that he's a decent actor. In Horns, his g/f is a ginger and he talks to snakes. He's an outsider with special insight, not quite the chosen one, but the horned one. Shot in the lush and rainy regions near Seattle's sounds, which a grunge-tinged soundtrack plus a lot of vintage Bowie, the quick gear shifts to get around the turns in the story arcs were chuckle-worthy, as long as it's not taken too seriously. The Biblical references are amusing, especially if you like films like Dogma. The flashback scenes with Harry as a child which don't quite work because we are all fully aware of what Harry looked like as a child.
That being said, of the main three, Harry, Ron & Hermione, this is the most successful post-HP flick so far.
