Critics Consensus

Horns is a bit of a tonal jumble, but it offers enough thoughtful horror-comedy -- and strong work from Daniel Radcliffe -- to hook genre enthusiasts.

Kevin Maher

The Times (UK)

You never want to rip into actors. They're a sensitive bunch. They do a job that brutalises the soul at the best of times... And yet I really struggle with Daniel Radcliffe.

Rated: 2/5

Entertainment Weekly

It seems to have been made by people who couldn't decide if their film was a horror flick, a whodunit, or a Hellboy knockoff.

Rated: C

Observer (UK)

Only in spurts does the film achieve an outre flavour of pop Gogol.

NME (New Musical Express)

Aja keeps the genre plates spinning gamely and it's great to see Radcliffe revelling in the chaos, excise Potter once for all and literally grow a pair.

Rated: 3/5

BRizz 2

Horns, starring Daniel Radcliffe, is unfortunately a film that never quite comes together. The storyline is bland and slow, taking far too long to reach any meaningful point. Watching it feels like being on a roller coaster that never picks up speed—there’s no real climactic moment, just a flat ride from start to finish. The director tried to take a different approach by following the main character closely, but the focus landed in all the wrong places. While some critics and viewers might enjoy it, for me it was a bore—a genuine snooze fest. The script could have been far stronger. Rather than diving deep into the lore in a way that feels convoluted, the story could have been adjusted to be more approachable, especially for a younger audience. I can see the attempt to capitalize on Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry Potter fame, but the execution collapses under rushed writing and uneven pacing. Ultimately, the film fails to deliver an engaging or memorable experience.

Solid movie. Better than it’s given credit for. I think they could’ve done better with some of the story line to help with the flow but overall solid movie.

Why does this amazing movie have such bad reviews? It’s so good. Also, I’m pretty sure young Sabrina carpenter plays one of the characters.

This movie goes on a roller coaster from comedy, to horror, to drama and back again. Very well done. My only gripe was the amount of sexual content Ina short span, that felt like they needed it there so found a way to get it all in quickly. Otherwise it was a pretty decent film.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
