Today EW got their hands on some new stills from Alexandre Aja’s new horror film Horns and they deliver exactly what you hoped to see — Daniel Radcliffe sporting a pair of devilish horns. Aja’s adaptation of Joe Hill’s novel sees Radcliffe take the lead as Ig Perrish who suddenly wakes up with a pair of horns growing from his head. While no one else can see them, everyone he comes in contact with feels compelled to tell him their most horrific secrets. Got your attention? Well it certainly should! Not only is Aja at the helm, who’s responsible for the horror gem High Tension, but Radcliffe will be one hell of a site to see in the role of Ig Perrish. This should be one nasty little flick and I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
When his longtime girlfriend Merrin (Juno Temple) is brutally murdered, Ignatius “Ig” Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) is blamed by many in his small town for her death. While the case remains open, public opinion has already condemned Ig for the crime, and the media are poised to crucify him. In the wake of this tragedy, Ig awakens one day to find horns growing from his head.
Suddenly, people start being strangely honest with Ig, confessing their darkest desires and most hidden secrets. As everyone — friends, family and strangers alike — is compelled to confess to him their ugliest impulses, Ig struggles to understand his newfound power and how he might be able to use it to find Merrin’s real killer.
Horns also stars Juno Temple, Max Minghella, Joe Anderson, Kelli Garner, Heather Graham, David Morse, Kathleen Quinlan and James Remar. Right now the film is currently set to open sometime in 2014. Dig on the new imagery below!
I have the book, along with Hill’s Heart-Shaped Box and 20th Century Ghosts and I have yet to read any of them. I need a fire lit under my backside.
Nice! I’ve had the book sitting on my shelf for a while. I might pick it up after I finish Joyland because I’ve heard some amazing things about it.
How is Joyland?
I’m enjoying it so far. About half way through and in typical King fashion, it’s taking a while to get to the good stuff!
Another fascinating film from Aja; can’t wait! 🙂
Always excited to see what Aja does next!
I hadn’t heard of this till now, but Juno Temple has been great recently! This looks quite interesting ^.^
I’m surprised this one hadn’t caught your eye until now. It will most definitely be an interesting one!
