I keep forgetting that we have Horns coming out this year. I’m a huge fan of Alexandre Aja (Haute Tension, Hills Have Eyes) and Daniel Radcliffe is a solid actor. To see the two of them team up on a movie based off of Joe Hill‘s book, Horns, is a match made in…well, hell. The film follows Radcliffe’s character who starts literally turning into the Devil and if that wasn’t creepy enough, we have a bunch of new images thanks to SciFi World. Check them out and be warned that these are very spoilery!
“Ignatius Martin Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke the next morning with a headache, put his hands to his temples and felt something unfamiliar, a pair of knobby, pointed protuberances. He was so ill-wet-eyed and weak-he didn’t think anything of it at first, was too hung-over for thinking or worry. But when he was swaying over the toilet, he glanced at himself in the mirror above the sink and saw he had grown horns while he slept.
The second son of a renowned musician and doting mother, Ig Perrish has a privileged life and expectations of a bright future with his childhood sweetheart, Merrin Williams. But life takes an unexpected dark turn when Merrin is brutally killed and suspicion falls hard on Ig.
A year passes, but Ig is nowhere near over his grief or his rage . . . feelings that come to a head in a lost evening of alcohol and hate. When he wakes the next morning he discovers that he has undergone a surreal transformation, and is in possession of an incredible power. It isn’t long before he turns his terrible new abilities towards vengeance. Unfortunately Ig is about to learn that when it comes to revenge, the devil is in the details” .
Horns is due out on October 29th and is directed by Alexandre Aja, based off of the novel by Joe Hill. The film stars: Daniel Radcliffe, Juno Temple, James Remar, Joe Anderson, and Kelli Garner.
