Horns

In a quiet, close‑knit town where secrets linger like mist, Ig Perrish drifts on the edges of community life, his love for Merrin painting his world in soft, hopeful colors. Their relationship feels both ordinary and timeless, rooted in simple moments beneath a familiar tree that has witnessed their whispered promises. The town itself hums with a low‑key charm, its rhythm punctuated by the lingering sense that everyone knows a little more than they let on.

When a sudden, brutal loss shatters that fragile peace, Ig awakens to an impossible, otherworldly change: a pair of horns budding from his scalp. This grotesque gift brings with it an uncanny ability to draw out the hidden truths and desires of those around him, turning ordinary conversations into stark revelations. The supernatural element is delivered with a dark, almost mythic visual style, casting everyday settings in an eerie, amber‑tinted light that feels both intimate and unsettling.

As he grapples with grief, Ig leans on a handful of familiar faces. Lee Torneau, a longtime friend and lawyer, offers a steady, if cautious, presence, while Glenna, an old confidante, provides a mix of compassion and skeptical humor. Family ties with his brother Terry and his father Derrick are tinged with strained expectations, and the town’s collective suspicion adds a palpable pressure. These relationships weave a complex web of loyalty, doubt, and the yearning for vindication, urging Ig to balance his newfound power against the risk of losing his humanity.

The film moves in a tone that blends noir‑like suspense with supernatural dread, all underscored by a lingering sense of melancholy. It invites viewers to contemplate how far one might go when love is ripped away and an uncanny force forces the hidden heart of a community into stark relief. The mood is simultaneously brooding and poetic, promising a journey where the line between justice and vengeance is as hazy as the fog that rolls over the town’s streets.
