Raboul T Sep 18 “Horsehead” is a hypnotic dive into the subconscious, where nightmare and myth or symbolism blur into one seamless vision. With striking imagery and an oppressive dream-logic atmosphere, it recalls the visual daring of Argento and the symbolic density of The Company of Wolves, while carving out a voice of its own. Bold, unsettling, and strangely beautiful, Horsehead lingers like a half-remembered dream — one you’re not sure you want to wake from. See more 11/06/2016 Horsehead is an artfully crafted movie with some stylistic nods to both Dario Argento and Mario Bava and an unnerving Lynchian nightmare weirdness. If you're open to something strange and out of the ordinary, if you crave nightmarish cinema dripping with dread, Horsehead comes recommended. See more 03/04/2016 Horsehead is a movie that doesn't give you any breathing space as it immediately jumps straight in. It's kind of exhausting because we now get a straightforward plot that tries to unravel a mystery for the upcoming 90 minutes. While it isn't really erotic, it does include some elements, which I didn't mind, but didn't make much sense either. That being said, there are some beatiful shots and I believe the story had potential. Unfortunately Horsehead leaves you confused after an anticlimatic ending with many questions left unsolved. See more 01/15/2016 HorseHead walks some inspiring and tough grounds, as it artistic intentions often conflict with its "student film" look and its bizzarre acting and directing issues. The movie has plenty of interesting moments that contrast roughly with the more clichéd and dumb horror movie moments, and by the end, Horse Head is more of an experiment that is up to the viewer to accept or not. See more 07/14/2015 surreal, strange and sublime. Lillly-Fleur Pointeaux, has a cracking body on her though. See more 06/06/2015 Romain Basset may be aiming to create a Argento-esque horror movie, but it looks more like an extended 1990's video for NIN and Marilyn Manson by Mark Romanek or Floria Sigismondi. But that is being too generous. While he has managed to stretch a very small budget to create some amazing looking set-ups -- he fails to focus on plot and dialogue. Basset also appears to want to be "surrealist" and "avant-garde" without really understanding what either actually means. The movie fails to be either interesting or scary. It only succeeds in being stupid with some lush dressing. See more Read all reviews
