‘Disturbing' horror film starring Daniel Radcliffe and Sabrina Carpenter now available to stream
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A decade after its release, a hidden horror gem starring Daniel Radcliffe and Sabrina Carpenter is finally getting the appreciation it deserves – and it's about to be available to stream for free. Horns, a genre-bending 2014 horror-fantasy, sees Radcliffe step far from the Hogwarts universe and into far darker territory. Based on the best-selling 2010 novel by Joe Hill (son of Stephen King), the film follows Ig Perrish, a man accused of brutally murdering his girlfriend, Merrin. After waking up one morning to find horns sprouting from his forehead – and with them, the disturbing ability to compel people to confess their darkest secret – Ig sets out to solve the murder himself. Directed by Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Crawl), Horns blends horror, dark comedy, supernatural fantasy, and psychological suspense. While the film received mixed reviews upon release, it has since gained cult status among horror fans. The cast features Ted Lasso's Juno Temple as the adult Merrin Williams, with a younger version of the character played by pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter. Max Minghella (The Handmaid's Tale) plays Ig's childhood friend Lee Tourneau, in a role that deepens the mystery at the heart of the story. Fans on IMDb have praised the movie's originality, with one reviewer calling it 'an underdog movie' that combines 'horror, fantasy, and drama' with 'psychological suspense.' More Trending Another wrote: 'I've watched a lot of movies in my 69 years on this planet, lol, and I have to tell you—I was glued to my seat watching this one.' Despite its initially lukewarm reception, the film has steadily attracted a following for its unusual premise and its exploration of themes like guilt, vengeance, and transformation. Lucky for fans of unusual cinema, Horns will be streaming for free on Pluto TV starting Monday, July 21, giving new audiences a chance to experience the twisted, touching, and at times darkly funny tale for themselves. So whether you're a horror buff, a Daniel Radcliffe completist, or just in the mood for something wildly original, Horns might be the dark horse film you've been missing. Got a story?
