Daniel Isn't Real

"(A) slick and thrilling take on the intersection of mental illness and creative inspiration."

"There's not much to Daniel Isn't Real beyond a cynical, generic coming-of-age story..."

"(An) enjoyably ludicrous low-budget psychological horror..."

"Disorienting, disturbing, magisterial."

"A novel convergence of mental health issues, toxic masculinity and occultish vibes."

"Daniel Isn't Real immediately puts the viewer on edge."

"Its performatively extreme imagery thinly masks a rather banal view of male subjectivity and inner conflict."

"Although it eventually settles into familiar genre tropes, for much of its running time Daniel Isn't Real proves a genuinely provocative shocker."

"What starts as a mediocre psychological thriller finishes as a surprisingly toothsome and creative horror film, complete with creature features and journeys into the abyss."

"Pitched somewhere between "Fight Club" and a Clive Barker creature feature, "Daniel Isn't Real" is a wild ride worth taking to be in the company of its promising young stars."

"A near-perfect combination of body horror, cosmic horror and psychological horror that gets under your skin while also finding its way into your heart."

"Spectrevision's stylishly crafted psychological horror thriller has enough twists and finesse to attract favorable attention beyond genre bounds, signaling upbeat prospects for exposure in various formats."
