This underrated Prime Video horror flick brings you the most evil imaginary friend of all time

Daniel Isn't Real is a surprisingly effective horror film available for free on the Roku Channel. The story follows college freshman Luke, played by Miles Robbins, who is struggling with post-traumatic stress from a childhood event he witnessed. To cope, he created an imaginary friend named Daniel, played by Patrick Schwarzenegger.

Daniel's charming personality and high social status were initially appealing to Luke, but as he reverts to his anxious state, Daniel's influence begins to grow more sinister. As Daniel takes control of Luke's body, he transforms from a helpful friend to a malevolent force. The film's unique premise of a malevolent imaginary friend, along with its atmospheric direction and Patrick Schwarzenegger's chilling performance, make it a refreshing addition to the horror genre.

The movie's focus on questioning reality versus hallucination adds to the overall unease and keeps viewers engaged.
