The Young Cast and Crew of this "Imaginary Friend" Nightmare Show Above Average Creativity and Zest.
The Horror and Thriller Genre has a Rich History of Showcasing and Exploiting Personality Disorders.
It's a Story that Lends Itself to Disturbing and Terrifying Imagery and Horrific Situations.
The Film Adopts a "Psychedelic" Tone from the Stunning Artistic Images During the Openings Credits.
From There the Film Progresses with a Nightmarish Tale of a Schizophrenic College Freshman (Miles Robbins) and His Uneasy (to say the least) Relationship with an "Imaginary Friend".
"Daniel Isn't Real" says the Title, but Audiences are Quick to Challenge that Statement as the Film Unfolds.
"Daniel" ({Patrick Schwarzenegger) is the "Friend", Helper, Tormentor, and Nemesis.
He Represents the "Inner" Intelligence that is Gregarious and Creativity that Daniel Possesses but is too Shy and Insecure to Let Breathe and Associate with the World.
It Proves Rewarding for Luke and the Medication and Visits to a Psychiatrist are Now what Constitutes Life for the Withdrawn Youth who has a New Hobby Photography and an Actual Girlfriend to Relate to.
But Things Don't Stay "Normal" for Long. Daniel is a Demon that Thrives on Terror, Violence, and Dominating the Weak Luke.
There are Images that Disturb and Horrify and the Tone is Relentlessly Unsettling with Many Stand-Out Scenes.
The Ending is Up for Debate about the Particulars but Regardless, this is Fresh Look at and Old Type.
