Daniel Isn't Real

I rated this film a 7, fair, which isnt a 10 or a 1 which this film is neither of anyway. It's worth watching, good storyline, casting was good, directing was really good and maybe helped garner the rating for me, special effects were even fairly good, one scene in particular and several others were close. What docked the points was it felt a little rushed at times, some of the acting and scenarios were cheesy and seemed out of character, especially the doctor. The final solve seemed sort of pushed out and not pulled out with some logical investigative deducements. So then the end was a little hard to decipher and didnt really fit with the rest of the movies flow and style and here was also some very bad special effects happening that was distracting from the cohesiveness and melodic translation of the first 3/4 of the film. So its definitely worth a look, prepare to be pleased but not rocked, but also not skunked. It's only a fair movie but I think most thriller/horror/drama fans will agree.

This film has it's moments. There is not, at least in my opinion, a clear cut direction laid out but it does have a way of drawing you in. However, it felt a bit tedious at times and I was wanting it to move along a bit better. As my title indicates, I didn't love or hate it but it was an interesting watch.

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

Oh no! I really wanted to like this more. It started out quite interesting and I was ready for the excitement to begin. SADLY it was mostly disappointing for me. There were really good moments but then a bunch of confusing, nonsensical silliness. I just quit caring about a third of the way through. Sorry but not for me but I am sure that others might like it better.

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.
