The movie 'Horns' Starring Daniel Radcliffe has just released its first trailer.

Director Alexandre Aja, the filmmaker behind "The Hills Have Eyes" And "Piranha 3D"  has called Horns "a true fable about first love and revenge and everything we are and sometimes things we don't want to admit that we are." But it's not all serious: At the same event, Hill dubbed the movie a "tragicomic-horridy." Tragicomic-horridies: the new romantic comedies.

The fantasy thriller follows an American-accented Radcliffe, whose character gains a pair of horns that grant him paranormal abilities after he is blamed for his girlfriend's mysterious death.

Dimension and Radius-TWC acquired U.S. rights to the film a month after its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September.

Juno Temple, Max Minghella, Joe Anderson, Kelli Garner, Heather Graham, David Morse, Kathleen Quinlan and James Remar also star in the film, which is based on the novel by Joe Hill.

Red Granite Pictures toppers Riza Aziz and Joey McFarland produced along with Mandalay's Cathy Shulman and director Alexandre Aja

"[I love] whenever you find a script or a book that is so hard to pin down into one genre," Radcliffe said during the Q&A after the screening. "The first third of this film is incredibly funny and then it has this love story, which to me is the most important part of it. I think to have all these ideas held within this incredibly original way, while also encapsulating huge amounts of religious mythology, which I'm kind of in to, it was just very exciting and different."

Hill, the author, said "People used to make movies with different moods," said the author, who isn't even the best-known best-selling author in his family. (His father is a guy named Stephen King.) "A lot of films know how to play one note, over and over again. But there used to be filmmakers like George Roy Hill, who did Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which was exciting and funny and romantic and tragic. I just think there's room in life for all those things and it's kind of disappointing when a film only captures one of those things: just the scary stuff or just the romantic stuff. I'm greedy and I kind of want it all. And I think Alex did a great job of capturing that."

"Horns" opens October 31, on Halloween.
