Films To Keep You Awake - A Real Friend

A Real Friend (2006)
Dir: Enrique Urbizu

A lonely girl spends her time reading horror books and talking to her imaginary friends, Leatherface and a vampire. When she invites the vampire to dinner her widowed mother is shocked to see a face from her past.
A weak story with not enough going on to keep you interested. It starts okay and there are glimpses of what the film could have been if only the director had known what he wanted to achieve. It's strange to see legendary horror characters like Leatherface and Nosferatu used in a film like this, and even worse that they aren't remotely scary. It's unpredictable and solidly acted, but the director should be blamed for failing to do anything with the intriguing concept.
