Daniel Isn’t Real is another unassuming horror movie from Elijah Wood and Daniel Noah’s production house, SpectreVision, the company that brought us Mandy, The Greasy Strangler and most recently, The Color Out of Space. It is the second feature from director Adam Egypt Mortimer and is based on the novel In This Way I Was Saved by co-writer Brian DeLeeuw.After a traumatic experience in his early childhood and the separation of his parents, lonely kid Luke invents an imaginary friend, Daniel. All is well at first, it seems. Luke has a playmate and blame taker, until Daniel coerces Luke into harming his mother. After which, Daniel is banished.
Some years later, Luke is just starting college and living out of home for the first time. His mother is struggling with her mental health and a troubling incident serves as the catalyst for
Luke (Miles Robbins) to recall Daniel (Patrick Schwarzenegger) to his life. As before, everything is well initially, as Daniel gives Luke some much needed confidence and positive affirmation, helping him in his fledgling relationship with artist Cassie (Sasha Lane). However it will come as no surprise to tell you that, before long, Daniel reveals his intentions are far more sinister.
