‘Horns’ (2013) – A Supernatural Fantasy Mystery
Daniel Radcliffe’s “Horns” is a supernatural fantasy mystery based on a novel by Joe Hill. To begin with, I never have read any of Hill’s literary pieces, so my observations will be fresh. “Horns,” tells the story of Ig Perrish (Radcliffe) who is accused of murdering his longtime girlfriend (Juno Temple).

A Good Marriage (2014) – Based On A Novella By Stephen King
Starring Joan Allen and Anthony LaPaglia, A Good Marriage is a film based on Stephen King’s novella of the same name.

Run Like Hell (2014) – No Thrill At All
Written and directed by James Thomas, Run Like Hell is just a lame thriller that doesn’t give you an ounce of thrill in the entire film.
