The killer inside me. More traumatic horror psychedelia from SpectreVision, bathed in the same crimson six-sided Jodorowsky glow as MANDY. Makes up for a few wonky performances (Arnie’s kid is B-A-D) by diving head first into demonic hysterics by the final reel (not to mention some rather icky body horror). Super unsettling and filled with images that linger longer after the credits roll.

Unsettling, frightening, surreal. Daniel Isn’t Real explores the side of us we’re afraid to let out.

first fifteen minutes, I was hooked, then it slowly faded downhill, with a few awesome spurts of creativity along the way 

spectrevision is still my dad

This film was such an amazing watch. Imagine drop dead fred on acid. The cast compliment each other perfectly throughout the entire film. Can see myself rewatching this many times.

Pretty problematic in how it treated schizophrenia. I thought that it was going for a message. 

Some interesting effects and a cool use of color in the cinematography but boy were there a whole bunch of lens flares.

Patrick served wtf

I'm not so into horror movies, so maybe my review is a little biased, but overall I wasn't really into it. I mean, the tone of the film is established immediately in the opening scene and remains consistent throughout the entirety of the film, which I appreciated, but what I really wasn't fond of were the female roles in the film, specifically that of Sasha Lane. Now, I'm a big Sasha Lane fan, but I'm so fucking tired of the glorification of the manic pixie dream girl cute-but-psycho archetype. Like... it's 2019, we can do better. I get that the women in the film weren't really central to the plot, but it'd be cool if we learned Lane's character's name before the film's halfway point after her role was already established. However, 1/2 a star for the tonal consistency, 1/2 a star for the American Psycho vibes, and another full star for Luke legit being a Cole Sprouse doppelgänger.

Nodded off for a few minutes, so no review. Wasn't super into what I saw.

Imagine Patrick Bateman as your otherkin.

Bold visionary
Best horror effects since Thing
Gets under your skin

Wish it would have leaned harder into all the weird shit it was hinting at. Oh well 🤷‍♀️

My favorite film screening of all of SXSW. This film was amazing in terms of how it bridged psychological horror and cosmic horror together. It was super experimental and super trippy and I loved everything about it. The performances, the soundtrack, the emotions, the relationships, all pieced together a seamless and truly fucked up film that left me thinking about the whole thing days after.
