‘Disturbing' horror film starring Daniel Radcliffe and Sabrina Carpenter now available to stream
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.

Scottish police drama with 'palpable tension' races up Netflix top 10 chart
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Netflix viewers are rushing to watch a 'suspenseful' Scottish crime drama that's drawn comparisons to Broadchurch. Initially airing on ITV in 2017, The Loch was created by Stephen Brady and follows DS Annie Redford (Breaking Bad's Laura Fraser), an officer with the Scottish Highland Police as she investigates the murder of piano teacher Niall Swift after he is found dead at the bottom of a cliff in the picturesque village of Lochnafoy, Loch Fyne, Inveraray. However, it quickly emerges that a serial killer is responsible after its discovered part of Swift's brain has been removed and a human heart belonging to another victim is found close by With a huge task ahead, Glasgow based major investigation detective DCI Lauren Quigley (Happy Valley's Siobhan Finneran) is then brought in to lead the enquiry. Last week the six-part series (which was titled Loch Ness in the US) was added to Netflix, with viewers quickly taking the chance to binge it. The Loch is now the second most-watched TV show in the UK on the platform. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. When the series first aired, critics said it was 'definitely worth a look'. 'This tartan-clad Broadchurch shows a lot of promise, not least in the way it plays on people's Loch Ness fascinations,' the Express wrote in its review. 'The peel-the-onion format here is familiar by now, but Stephen Brady's script and a group of fine performances keep it intriguing, nonetheless. A fine diversion for summer evenings,' The New York Times shared. Untamed Loch Ness Amy Bradley is Missing Critical: Between Life and Death Angi: Fake Life, True Crime The Sandman WWE Smack Down My Melody and Kuromi Squid Game The Jury 'You'll probably figure out the ending to Loch Ness well before the fog lifts, but my hunch is you're here mainly for the luscious scenery,' The Washington Post said. 'It does a good job of slowly building up a portrait of a troubled but brilliant man with little regard for authority but great regard for the law itself. Definitely worth a look,' The Post NZ added. Meanwhile user amwilson-50395 said the show 'feels fresh and has you second guessing at every clue uncovered'. 'The desire to uncover the truth is overwhelming. Suspenseful moments intertwined in a mix of both fast- and slow-moving plot points, if you are into British crime dramas, this needs to be added to your must watch list,' they wrote on IMDB. Others said it was 'compelling', 'gripping' and 'superb'. At the time of The Loch's premiere, its star Laura said the following when asked to describe it. 'It's all very dark and creepy but also has moments that are quite tongue-in-cheek. It reminds me a wee bit of the classic movie An American Werewolf in London. It has that that vibe and there's a lot of animal symbolism – wolves, crows, mutilated sheep and, of course, plenty of mentions of the Loch Ness monster.' More Trending When initially teasing details of the show, ITV shared: 'What secrets lie beneath the surface? In this stunningly set crime drama, some monsters are no myth. For Detective Annie Redford, the hunt is on to catch a killer. 'A murder in a small Scottish town sends the community into shock, and local detective Annie Redford is thrust into her first murder case.' The Loch also stars Don Gilet as psychological profiler Blake Albrighton, John Sessions as Annie's boss DCI Frank Smilie, Gray O'Brien as Alan Redford, Annie's husband, and William Ash as local tourist operator Leighton Thomas.

Netflix quietly cancels 'gem of a series' with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A Netflix show fans hailed as 'amazingly intimate' and a show for the 'whole family' has quietly been scrapped after just one series. In late 2023, documentary maker Greg Whitely treated fans to Wrestlers, which gave an peek behind the scenes at how a professional wrestling company was really run. It still has a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, but Al Snow – whose promotion OVW (Ohio Valley Wrestling) was the focus of the series – has exclusively told Metro that a second season is officially off the table for Netflix. 'There were certainly talks. They had an option for a second season up until last September, and they just never took the option,' he explained. '[It] just ticked past. There was no fanfare or anything of that nature. It just quietly moved on.' Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. The 62-year-old star heard on the grapevine that there had been some behind the scenes moves 'to do basically the same format with more established brands'. Indeed, filmmaker Whitely went onto work on series featuring the likes of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, while Netflix launched WWE Unreal this week, which gives fans an intimate look behind the curtain of the worldwide juggernaut. Al, who wrestled for WWE from 1995 to 2008, insisted the new WWE series is 'good for everybody', while the door isn't shut on OVW reviving Wrestlers in another way. 'From what I understand, we have the option to have a second season, if we wish. We just would do it with a different streaming service than Netflix,' he added. Confirmation Wrestlers isn't returning to the streamer will be a blow to viewers, who had hoped for a second season after getting hooked on the original run. 'This wrestling documentary is amazing! It made me cry because I felt the hard work of all the wrestlers and everyone at OVW,' wrote Charish Herida on Google Reviews. 'Great show the whole family can watch together. Fantastic binge worthy series,' added Kelly iztheBest, while William Luckett said: 'Greg Whitely makes amazingly intimate portrayals that you can tell are authentic and not overproduced.' And Simon Manley said: 'There are heavy emotional moments in here as well as heavy bumps and hats off to [them], there are some real cinematic moments here too. Greg Whiteley has created an absolute gem of a series that wrestling fans and non-wrestling fans alike will love.' Thankfully for OVW fans, the company is still going strong after being bought out by UK-based sports agency Morley Sports Management (MSM), who are launching a new initiative to give athletes in football, rugby and other sports a launchpad into wrestling. More Trending MSM founder and CEO Rob Edwards said: 'We absolutely know the talent is there in the UK – particularly in football – and the opportunities we OVW provide could give so many sports people another chance.' But Al warned that he's seen lots of athletes come into wrestling without realising the 'physical exertion and amount of commitment' required.

Inside England Lioness Chloe Kelly's marriage to husband Scott Moore
Chloe Kelly is the woman of the hour at the moment after securing the Lionesses' win at Euro 2025. The England women's football team triumphed over Spain in a nail-biting final that saw Kelly, 27, score the winning goal during penalties. It marks the first time an England team has won a major trophy on foreign soil. Among the proud loved ones celebrating the team's monumental achievement is Kelly's husband, Scott Moore, who shared a touching message on his Instagram page. 'Speechless once again,' he wrote, along with two silver heart emoji. 'I'm so grateful to have you by my side,' Chloe added when she shared the post to her own Instagram Stories. Kelly maintains a fairly private life, but it is thought that she began dating the Everton groundsman after they met when she was playing for the team. Opening up on how they met, Kelly told Vogue: 'One day I held the door for him, and ever since that day he kept saying he was going to message me. 'When he did slide into my DMs, I didn't see it for ages, because it was in my requests folder, and then when I did see it I was like, 'Who is this?' But when I saw a few people that I knew had followed him, I realised, I must know him!' They then went on an unlikely first date to IKEA, and the rest is history. 'We got a little monkey and every time I see it, it reminds me of when we went to IKEA,' she told The Sun. Moore proposed in 2023 during a trip to Finland, popping the question under the Northern Lights. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Sharing a picture of the duo posing under the green skies and showing off her glittering engagement ring, Kelly wrote: 'The easiest YES. Here's to forever with you.' Speaking about the moment on the NearlyWeds Podcast, Kelly lightly ribbed Moore over what made her happier – the proposal, or her winning goal at the 2023 Euros. 'The wedding's not been yet, so I'm going to say the winning goal,' she teased. The couple tied the knot in 2024 after being together for five years in a picturesque ceremony at Merrydale Manor in Cheshire. She walked down the aisle in an incredible, intricate white lace dress with bridesmaid team-mates Ruby Mace and Steph Houghton. Their one-year wedding anniversary fell during the Euros, with Kelly admitting she hadn't had much time to celebrate among training and playing. 'I haven't even got a card, to be honest,' she said before the tournament began. 'I'm sure in the moment, I'll think of something and get my mum to sort it More Trending 'But no, we are just taking it each game as it comes, and we've got a huge game coming up, and we know that we need to be at our best for that, so not looking too far ahead. 'I'm sure Scott has, but I definitely haven't.' Moore has been supportive of Kelly's career, regularly attending her games as well as celebrating her achievements online. During their final Euro match, Kelly's shinpads bore an image of her and Moore kissing during their wedding, a touching tribute to their relationship. Got a story?
