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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 4, 2014

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.

| Original Score: C | Nov 5, 2014

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 2, 2014

Alexandre Aja's sprawling, wildly uneven film suffers from its continual shifts in storytelling style. It's at its best as a Twin Peaks-style mystery with supernatural elements.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 31, 2014

Radcliffe, through his sheer presence and the piercing honesty of those big, blue eyes, makes this mixed-up material watchable.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 31, 2014

In its later stages, Horns plays a little like a pastiche of a 1970s high-concept detective show: Quinn Martin presents Devil Cop!

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 31, 2014

Horns juggles a lot of balls, and admirably keeps them in the air for longer than you might expect. But it doesn't know how to bring them down gently.

| Oct 31, 2014

We get slithering snakes, rock music, woozy camera angles. And zero sense of danger. Without that ingredient, Horns feels like Harry Potter meets Ken Russell.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 31, 2014

Campy-fun but pointless ...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 31, 2014

"Horns" is a good-ideas-gone-wild movie that leaves the best of itself behind.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 31, 2014

The result is that a story with a couple of good ideas founders for lack of a third or fourth good idea.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 30, 2014

Anyone could imagine the better, cleaner, more coherent 90-min. film at the core of Horns: the one about the physics of apparent demonic possession.

| Oct 30, 2014

Horns is too long and too convoluted, and it doesn't take nearly as many risks as it might have, but in its off-kilter way it has something to say about humankind and the nature of evil.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 30, 2014

"Horns" shifts from nifty Gothic thriller to obvious but meaningless allegory.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 30, 2014

Radcliffe gives it his all and makes the film worth seeing. But the supernatural story feels scattered.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 30, 2014

Somewhere inside this lumberingly long fantasy-horror is a smart little black comedy trying to scuttle out.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 30, 2014

There are so many red herrings and plot twists, such a dense barrage of flashbacks and quick cuts, that you may find yourself as rattled and breathless as Ig himself.

| Oct 30, 2014

The movie's anything-goes quality ends up deepening instead of torpedoing the narrative, as can sometimes happen in horror flicks.

| Oct 30, 2014

What in the world is Mr. Radcliffe doing to himself in his post-Harry Potter movie career? Movies are supposed to be entertaining, and directors are supposed to protect their actors, not expose them to derision.

| Oct 30, 2014

Heedless of purpose, "Horns" charges full speed ahead anyway, ramming its high-concept hooey down your throat until the only heat you feel is from indigestion.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 30, 2014
