The Daisy Chain (2008)
Dir- Aisling Walsh
A couple moves to a coastal town in Ireland as they await the birth of their child. After a house fire, the wife wishes to adopt an orphaned young girl, but a series of accidents seem to follow her as people in the community suspect she may be cursed. Daisy Chain is a psychological thriller starring Samantha Morton and directed by Aisling Walsh. The film is a terrifying example of how the most seemingly innocent can be a harbinger of evil. The young actress Mihairi Anderson who portrays Daisy deserves praise for her convincing portrayal of a troubled young girl who may be autistic and is certainly sociopathic. The beautiful Irish coastal setting also shows how an isolated community can benefit a thriller, especially if the protagonists are city dwellers. Daisy Chain will have you guessing if the young girl truly is evil or if the community may be suffering a bout of poor luck and blaming their struggles on others.
