This year’s Beyondfest started off with a bang with a double feature of two highly anticipated films, “Color Out of Space” & “Daniel Isn’t Real.” “Color Out of Space” is based on a short story by H.P. Lovecraft and directed by Richard Stanley. The film stars Nicolas Cage as Nathan Gardener who has relocated his wife (Joely Richardson) and three kids from the city to a farm that was once owned by his father. A meteorite carrying an alien organism crashes into their front lawn.
“Daniel Isn’t Real” stars Miles Robbins (Luke) as a college student with a mentally ill mother. As a child, he has an imaginary friend named Daniel. Daniel returns to Miles’ life with a darker side. The film is directed by Adam Egypt Mortimer.
