1.0 out of 5 stars Very slow, very english, very bad, July 1, 2010

Yes this may be one of the really bad movies I have ever see.
The trailer has everything of any importance that happens in the movie. The reason that the trailer might indeed be far better than the movie is that there are no fake ear piercing screams.
Yes scream after scream after SCREAM, I stopped counting after 345 screams.
Oh and by the way the cover has nothing to do with the movie nor does the name.
Don't even rent this thing......just let it sink into oblivion all by itself.

3.0 out of 5 stars psychological horror, October 19, 2011

This review is from: The Daisy Chain (Amazon Instant Video)

Yes, this movie is slow paced. It's not bad though. Sometimes what people mean by "a slow movie" is a movie in which the plot stalls for a good deal of time. This movie is truly slow in that the story is constantly advanced but not in rapid fashion. It has some moodiness and atmosphere to it but not enough to make it spectacular. The cinematography is decent but there's no wow factor to it. Acting is fair throughout. The child star here is worth watching. She really really creeped me out. The telling stares this child pulled off were interesting. She could give a blank yet knowing stare in once scene and in another make her stare seem as if she wasn't even seeing this world but yet had a malevolence behind it. Kudos to the little girl and the director for her performance. About the plot... this is old world faerie mythos stuff. It's not some tiny person with wings casting spells and stealing babies breath. Expect nothing you wouldn't see in real life. And therein lies the true horror. You could encounter events and a person like this in real life... would it make you believe something supernatural was happening? Might you believe strongly enough to take action on another being? It is indeed horror but not gore horror, it's psychological horror. Not a psychological thriller mind you, but a psychological horror movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fairies, September 11, 2011

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Daisy Chain (DVD)

First of all, I would like to say that if you don't know much about fairy lore, then you will not understand this movie, and that is probably the reason for some of the negative reviews. For those who say the cover has nothing to do with the story in any way, it actually does. The figure on the cover is a fairy. She has thin wings on her back...Fairies in lore are not always depicted as being kind little creatures...They were originally considered malevolent creatures and one of the things they would do, including leprechauns, is steal/kidnap infants. That is most likely the reason for the fairy's grotesque appearance. A daisy chain is a garland that is sometimes made by people by tying daisies together...The child, Daisy seemingly "sets off" a "chain" of bad luck in the story. I watched the film several times, oftentimes replaying certain scenes in order to try and put the pieces all together. Which is something the director did a good job with. The audience has to really pay attention to the details of the film in order to figure out the "mystery" of the little girl. In my opinion, it could all be complete coincidence that the bad things happen to the different characters in the film and have nothing to do with Daisy causing them. It is obvious, of course that she was abused, living in the shed, being dirty, and hungry. It is possible that she was somewhat autistic, but a more functioning one. I ruled out Daisy killing her parents, because if you go to the scene where the policeman is talking to Tom, Martha's husband, about the fire, he says that they built it around a fairy ring. A fairy ring is a circle of mushrooms growing naturally from the ground...According to lore the circle could be a gateway to the fairy world. He said there was lots of gas spread around, and one of them could have tried to stop the other, and both getting caught on fire in the process. This makes sense, as the old man next door was telling Daisy's mother that her "real" baby was crying for her...So it seems to me, that she would have built the fire to kill Daisy, and her husband (if you notice in the film, he is more protective of his daughter than the mother), tried to stop her, so they both died in the fire and Daisy escaped. Daisy said during police questioning that the fire was, "hot, hot, hot..." Her way of repeating things most definitely fits autism, and in the olden days when people exhibited some kind of oddity or disability, they were outcasted by society. Even someone who had a bit more extra hair on their body or face than normal, was considered to possibly be a werewolf. Does Daisy have some kind of supernatural power? I don't think so...I think the film is a great depiction of how superstition and unchanging small towns can cause obsession and brainwashing...Basically all logic and rationale gets thrown out of the window, because it would make things easier...Even Tom admits to this, when he tells Martha he doesn't want Daisy to be a part of the family...He says he doesn't care if she's a fairy, autistic, or abused...It would just make things easier on them without society's pressure if they let Daisy go. I think Daisy removed the latch on the door because of the scene with her and Martha in the bathtub, but I don't believe that she deliberately drowned her brother. A lot of young children innocently try to smother their infant siblings...That doesn't make you a fairy. It makes you disturbed...Any child who isn't getting proper love from her parents or society and is made to live in a shed will of course be disturbed. What little girl hasn't called herself a "fairy" or a "princess"? Especially if the people around you accuse you of being it. The ending, however, is why I didn't give 5 stars...If you notice the last shot of Martha lying bloody on the bathroom floor, she is still breathing...You can distincly see her stomach going up and down...Was this simply overlooked during filming, or was she supposed to still be alive? Tom takes off with his newborn son from the room where Daisy had him wrapped up in his cradle on the bed, and we don't know what he does or where he goes...Perhaps the director meant for it to be that way, so that the mystery isn't completely solved by the audience...We get to experience what it really feels like to be surrounded by all that kind of paranoid superstition. I loved this movie. It is slow, but I love that aspect about European films...You get to really allow the story to saturate inside your mind and heart.
