We are gearing up to bring you the news from SXSW beginning this weekend. It is going to be one hell of a time too. So many good horror films coming out that we can barely keep up! One of them is Daniel Isn’t Real based on the acclaimed book In This Way I Was Saved. This one is produced by Hobbit turned horror guru Elijah Wood.
Synopsis: Starring Patrick Schwarzenegger, Miles Robbins, Sasha Lane, Hannah Marks, and Mary Stuart Masterson, DANIEL ISN’T REAL is the story of traumatized 8-year old Luke, who invents an imaginary friend named Daniel who leads them both into a world of fantasy and imagination. After Daniel tricks Luke into doing something terrible, Luke is forced to lock him away. Twelve years later, Luke brings Daniel back — and he now appears as a charming, manipulative young man with a terrifying secret agenda. The film is directed by Adam Egypt Mortimer (Some Kind of Hate, Holidays) and based on the acclaimed book In This Way I Was Saved.
