      To be honest I thought it was ridiculous that he would suggest his patient to reignite the lost relationship with a childhood imaginary friend...it just sounded dangerous to begin with when Luke was clearly showing symptoms of schizo. It all started after that appointment

      The human imagination is, at best, a hellscape of thoughts. Each one clawing to be in the light of your conscious mind.
      To encourage someone with anxiety or OCD to pursue their imagination is like handing matches to a pyromaniac and expecting them to behave.

    I believe the ending is just Dan diving back into the real world to find a new friend. He was in the house because Luke killed himself and Dan, but then the guy who shot up the coffee shop died as well. So Dan would have had to have been at the house then as well. Then it's just a quick jump down into the real world and find a new friend.
    I think the movie's ending is terribly sad in that way. The cycle is never broken. Dan will always just find a new host, have his fun for as long as he can and move on.

    I remember an old short story about this where a guy goes around the world to research and gain knowledge, there is this house of light that could give him everything he seeks but is to scared to enter, but his shadow isn’t. His shadow disappears for years and then comes back rich and worldly, offers to pay him to become his shadow and proceeds to enslave him, the shadow taking the primary seat while the original fades and becomes the shadow.

    I mean I figured it was clear he was real when Dan was reading over the girl's shoulder so he'd know what was written. An imaginary friend isn't going to give you actual powers or anything, so the only way he'd actually be able to recite the book accurately would be if Dan was real and actually reading.

If I'm not mistaken he was the one who brought the ancient artifact dagger to the house (not sure)? It's like the therapist knew about the history of this ancient evil being. Maybe this being is well known in other cultures? Great movie and great review.

    Also, for those who are wondering, there is a BONUS ending, which you can find on CZcams! In my interpretation, the bonus ending takes place right after the final shot of Daniel descending into the abyss. I will summarize it here!
    Cassie stands nearby as a dead Luke is carted away in the ambulance. She sobs, clearly broken by this encounter. Just as she looks up, Luke (Most likely Daniel) is standing there, saying “Cassie…. I’m here…” over and over and over again. She walks away, broken, as he remains, giving one last “I’m here…” before we cut to black.
    To me, this means Cassie is next to be picked to have Daniel as a “friend”, however, he’s using Luke’s face… 😱

    • @marslito1092
      @marslito1092 Před 2 lety +148

      I think that's actually the real Luke. He was already dead when he fought Dan who was using his body, so to stop him he just had to destroy his body. His soul still lingers in the real world now, and that is the probably that Luke that calls out to her.

    This movie is a direct adaptation of a book called In This Way I Was Saved (later changed to Daniel Isn’t Real from the popularity of the movie) by Brian DeLeeuw. It’s told from the narrative of Daniel. Definitely a sad, horrible & at times depressing story. It made me cry but if you are a reader it’s worth it. The movie is good but the book is way better (most of the time they are lol).

  • @Captain_Kalari
    @Captain_Kalari Před 2 lety +276

    I believe that the end of the movie is a bit more straightforward than your hypothesis, FoundFlix. My guess is that Daniel diving into the abyss is most likely precisely how he enters the real world in the first place. He calls himself the abyss, so I do not imagine he would have ever been afraid of leaping into it. In my opinion, the dollhouse/castle is Daniel's lair and he bricked off the exits so his victims couldn't access the actual exit like he can. The abyss would be like an extension of Daniel himself, like a permeable membrane that houses his inner world, keeping him safe until he ventures out to try and find a host in the physical world.
    Just my thoughts, though. Goodness knows what's really going on!

    This might be a bit of a stretch, but I think the monsters Luke would see in the flashing lights were the darkness inside of other people. His connection with Daniel as a kid allowed him to kinda see it in the flashing lights. Their horns weren't as big as Daniels, so those other people don't have issues. I think Daniel has just been leaping from person to person and getting stronger. The reason I think of this is because of what Daniel says when Luke visits his mom. "That's because you weren't doing it right" in response to how she felt in the past. I think that meant a bit more than that. Like the darkness should be allowed to take the lead so you can feel freer and once you allow it to take the lead it gains more power. That is my view on that whole part. I don't know if that's what the movie was going for.

  • @heyiwasntdone4135
    @heyiwasntdone4135 Před 2 lety +145

    I think the ending is just the Entity diving back into our world to find a new host. It is evident that it cannot die--something cosmic in origin, judging by the appearance of the abyss. So when Luke threw himself off the roof he essentially destroyed a perfectly good vessel for the Entity, which includes his physical presence in our world. It explains his pissed look at the end that is Luke's face for a moment before switching back to his true face. He wastes no time jumping back into the abyss (crossing into our world) because he'll never stop until he gets to do his terrors. This implies that Cassie, being so close to Luke when he died, is his next potential victim--just like what happened when young Luke was at the crime scene where Josh (previous host) died.

    I think the ending is an ironic twist. Since Dan is the one seeking lonely people, and "inspiring" them. Maybe in the end, Dan was the lonely one, and he was too afraid to make the leap into the abyss. So Luke ended up inspiring Dan to make the leap he didn't think was possible.

    This one actually reminded me quite a lot of the dynamic between Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Harris had contempt for creation itself, but he couldn't exert that wrath on his own. Yet, instead of finding someone who felt like he did, he found someone who was weakened by his contempt for _himself._ Harris then used Klebold's feeling that *_his_** life* was meaningless to show everyone else that *life* is meaningless.*
    Even more appropriate still that the barrier between worlds, the place Luke fell through, was an abyss. _“For when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”_ Harris in particular was enamored by Nietzsche, though I think it’s obvious he didn’t understand him.
    _* Klebold was obviously guilty for his part, and I’m not attempting to take that culpability away. The catalyst, however, was Harris (Harris was homicidal, Klebold was suicidal). Since that’s the dynamic I see mapped on in the movie, I think that's the relevant point of focus._

      Anesthesia effects everyone a little differently.
      It can even be passed down family lines. For example (I'm SO GLAD it skipped me.) on my grandfather's side several people who get put under anesthesia wake up mid surgery. They can hear everything and feel everything but they cannot move or speak. A part of their consciousness can even transfer to watch the whole thing, from either above, or slightly to the side.
      They (at least two of them) proved it by reciting conversations and sensations they would've had no idea was taking place during their separate surgeries. After that it was noted in their charts that they cannot ever be put under general anesthesia. Because they can obviously still feel it all.

    Have you watched The Novice? I found it pretty interesting. Also, just finished the first season of Yellowjackets. I think these are both a movie and series that you'd appreciate. I'd love your take on them!! Love your videos, as alwaysss

      I highly doubt that DID is hereditary as it is the brain’s way of coping with significantly large amounts of trauma at a young age before the brain is fully developed.

    It’s interesting that he takes a fall into the abyss to return, only to fall from a building. I think there is a fair argument that it was all in his head after all, and that final plunge into that cosmic abyss was him falling from the building, the rest being the last of his brain’s fantasy from DMT

    I'm autistic and this plot kind of communicates some of my experience
    Most of us are unemployed and isolated, and have serious financial, health, social and other issues, often because of how people react to us
    So you go to a therapist or doctor, which is the only route to support, because nothing else is available, and they coerce you to take antidepressants, and if you don't, even if you've tried all of them, you're just noncompliant. They say you have to receive treatment, you have to go to therapy
    Antidepressants and therapy don't provide food, shelter and community for autistic people. You can give me any drug you want and it won't get rid of Daniel

    It could be that Daniel was also trapped in the Castle with the others and needed someone to take down the bricks behind the door to escape. John was trapped for a long time and never tried to get out, so Daniel had to move on to Luke. Once Luke opened the way to the outside Daniel was free to escape as well using the same path

      So, was him being locked in the dollhouse at the beginning preventing him from doing that before? Or was he assumedly with another "friend" (that we don't see) in between possessing John and Luke? I guess I'm still confused how his dimension works. Does he have to wait for an opening, some lonely person to let him in? Or does he just wander in the abyss freely, taking advantage of whatever lonely person he finds while roaming earth? I guess this video is theorizing he was not able to wander freely before and was stuck "locked away" for all those years but now he is able to travel between his dimension and ours without a host. I honestly don't know. It's 4am and I should be sleeping lol

    • @beetreynolds8276
      @beetreynolds8276 Před 2 lety +10

      I take it as he was locked in the castle all that time and he can’t move on another person until his friend is dead. Now that he’s friend is dead, he can start with a new person and befriend them. Someone close to the crime scene. Kinda like how he found the kid at the beginning of the movie. Looks like he’s stuck as his human male form though aged up or down. The end of the film being him stating the cycle again.

He won't have a body when he gets here but we've seen how he crosses that bridge when he comes to it; inhabiting ppl's minds with the goal of eventually taking over the body.

    As soon as Dan applauded their destructiveness, encouraged him to sin and didn't like the idea of the Apocalypse (he knows what happens to his kind) I knew what he was. It was kind of obvious really, especially knowing what they feed off and them having to be trapped within something, symbolically and physically. And I SWEAR that this movie is based on an old Tales From the Crypt episode. It was damn good. And both Miles Robbins and Patrick Schwarzenegger were great in it.

  • @spykkielee7627

    Rolling out my thoughts here, the monster Luke meets in the castle is Daniel's previous victim, his "monster" appearance being a reflection of how he looked in his final moment, being pierced by bullets. I'm thinking the monsters Luke could see in the flash of lights were a premonition of how those people would look when they will die. If they didn't die a violent death, there wouldn't be much blood and there for not as much "horns" would show. This would mean Luke was mystically gifted, which would explain why he could see those "visions" and fight Daniel on somewhat of an equal footing at the end. The monster returning to the real world at the end seems to be Luke's death state, as the previous victim stated that even in death he was trapped in the castle.

    I think the ending where Daniel is jumping off the roof into the abyss represents the tormented ending of jumping off the roof, over and over again. Just like with the last victim, who had a blown up face, Daniel is now subject to the same tormenting cycle that he put all his victims through. In that way, seems like a less bleak ending. Plus, I have not seen the ending but I did not see the main character there at the ending with Daniel. If that's the case, maybe it means that the main character has finally moved on to a better place while Daniel is there trapped in his world again, but this time as somebody who will jump over and over again for eternity.
