This Halloween you will get the chance to see Daniel Radcliffe become the devil…After watching this movie it looks like all notions of Daniel Radcliffe as a bespectacled little boy in Harry Potter will finally be blown away. We are a million miles away from cosy old Hogwarts with this movie – rape, murder, small town bigotry and a man growing horns.
Based on Joe Hill’s book this movie is quite a delicate balance between horror, humour and romance. Joe Hill is by far one of the best fantasy/horror writers around at the moment and the movie has become one of the most highly anticipated horror films this year. It’s a supernatural thriller that follows Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) who is the number one suspect for the violent rape and murder of his girlfriend Merrin (Juno Temple). Ig wakes up one morning with a horrible hangover and finds horns starting to grow from his head. These horns possess a power that drives people to confess their sins and give in to their most unspeakable impulses – an effective tool in his mission to find out the true killer and for exacting revenge.
The whole concept of the film is intriguing, or could it be just plain weird? Positive reviews have already been made after the film’s screening at the Toronto International Film Festival and with such potential in the source material it does look like a film really worth seeing – especially on Halloween…
