I don't understand why DAISY CHAIN has received such bad reviews. Granted, it's not a fast paced gore fest. But I found DAISY CHAIN to be very intriguing, lyrical and haunting.
Martha and Tomas have lost a baby, Chloe and now Martha is pregnant again. Understandably, Martha is very fragile mentally, so the couple have moved to the country to get away from the stress of living in London.
While moving into their new home, Martha meets one of the neighborhood children, Daisy and it's apparent that something isn't quite right with the child. But is it autism or simply child abuse. Martha witnesses Daisy's grandfather hurl a rock at the child's head and later discovers the child lives in a shed away from the house.
Everyone thinks that Daisy is a changeling, a fairy child that brings bad luck to everyone. And some are ready to kill her in order to remove the threat.
The story is heartbreaking and Daisy is at once, menacing and haunting. How horrible would it be to be shunned by all and no one to answer your pleas of "Play with me".
DAISY CHAIN is not without it's faults but, the ending is chilling. If you want a taste of something different, something that will tug at your heart while prickling the hair at the back of your neck, then settle in THE DAISY CHAIN.
