Review of Horns (2013) by Dylan D — 06 Jan 2015

Horns will pull its audience in from the outset, pique one's curiosity as the story unfolds, and lose a good bit of its momentum when it becomes a hybrid of interesting novelty and dramatic cliché that fits the story but nevertheless feels out-of-place and wholly unimaginative.

There's a brilliant story here, one with a world of dramatic interest and room for endless interpretation and discussion, but it devolves into a fairly routine little movie that's propped up by its angle.

It's still a fascinating watch and the good does manage to outweigh the bad, but Horns is a classic case of a good movie that could have been so much more.
