Right, just got finished eating some raspberry ice cream, which was great thanks for asking, but I'm not here to review that I'm here to review the film Daniel Isn't Real. This was final film in my now completed little collection of independent horror films produced by the man himself Frodo Baggins. Unlike the raspberry ice cream, which was pretty fire trucking good, this film was only unfortunately decent. I've wanted to check this film out for a while but never got round to doing so, but after skimming the synopsis in hmv it finally pulled me in. The concept seemed potentially fascinating if pulled off correctly, but it ended up going quite a generic and safe route. So it's safe to say I was a tad bit disappointed. The whole "he's a good friend" at first and then turns into a evil pr*ck thing was going on if you know what I mean. Don't get me wrong though, when the film excelled-it was brilliant. The performances were super strong thanks to clever and clear direction from Mortimer, the end of act 4 was brilliant and i must say some of the cinematography here and there was so beautifully crafted to bring the director's vision to life. Also, one thing that did steer the film away from that generic route was the whole other worldly nature of who Daniel was. But in the end it just didn't reach its potential, in my opinion, which was a huge shame. Mandy still takes it as the best film to come out of Elijah wood's horror producing career, and it's good to see he is by no means afraid to green light a project that would usually be frowned upon if pitched today to a big Hollywood studio. And for that i respect the guy, and can't wait to see who's work he is bringing to the table next. *Claps* P.s Turns out I've only seen the horror films he's produced, he has done more previously apparently. So I'll definitely be checking those out.
