Radcliffe is playing Ig Perrish, who awakens one day to find a pair of horns have sprouted from his head. Those around him who see the horns are compelled to tell him pretty much all the nasty things that are rolling around in their brain. Ig’s powers don’t stop there.
Horns is sort of a bittersweet tale about a poor sap who falls for his ideal girl. They have a relationship. They break up. And then she’s found raped and left for dead. Everyone thinks he did it, and there’s the thrust of Hill’s character piece, which explores Perrish’s search for the truth. It’s a bit of a revenge piece, but it’s also a love story.
Alexandre Aja is supposed to direct for Red Granite and Mandalay Pictures.
