Der Killer in mir

That's what fighting your inner demons look like.

I'll confess, they did have a compelling idea, a notion that holds significant importance but just like we witness in most cases, those ideas happened to fizzle out when it mattered the most when it was time to implement the very same. In spite of their earnest efforts (which I do appreciate, by the way, make no mistake) the execution does come off unskillful at times if not achingly short-sighted!

Even though I do understand that the creators had to make compromises to be accessible to a much broader audience but then again topics like these generally demand a certain degree of sincerity & seriousness and letting that slide may as well lead to severe consequences. And yes you guessed it right, that is precisely what happened in this case. A fascinating concept bogged down by poor presentation.

The actors do a good job with Patrick Schwarzenegger standing out. The directing is pushing the psychedelic button with the wannabe eary music and reddish and yellowish light effects a bit too much in my opinion but all in gets the point across. Not sure I'd have payed to see it at the movies as it has it's lengths and with a run time of 100 minutes it's pushing its luck. For those that like movies with mind tricks, dual personality issues and so forth, you'll find what you need here.

The story is so different from what I expected. It is engaging, thrilling and scary. It is definitely worth a watch!

Rating this movie with the lowest score possible is just ridiculous. People should think a bit about it before rating movies, as a one star movie is just awful, almost unwatchable, and in this case Daniel Isn't Real is certainly watchable. I get it that not everybody will love it but just rate it honestly. If you like movies like Donnie Darko (2001) or Split (2016) you should enjoy this one as well. The other two mentioned are way better, no doubt about that, but Daniel Isn't Real has some good moments. The acting was good, really can't say anything bad about that even if I tried my best, the story is certainly entertaining to follow, the cinematography was way better than I expected it to be. Just do me a favor and rate your movies correctly, stop with those perfect tens for average movies, and certainly stop with insulting one star ratings for movies like this one.

It's a good flick! it might not have the most clever dialogue, but it builds tension pretty well. it knows its climax, it doesn't give a lot of unnecessary explanations, it's scary when it has to be...i enjoyed it. maybe is a bit slow in the first hour, but it makes sense in order for the final to be more frenetic.

i like horror filmes but more in the slasher genre...this one is more psychological but it works because the rythm is in the right place. some of the reviews are too harsh, maybe because the film doesn't want to rush into anything. i think that's good.

go with no expectations. i liked it. in the category of psychological horror it's not bad classified.
