Come to Daddy

This movie was a very fun watch. Elijah Wood does a wonderful job selling his character as a priviledged adult. It does an excellent job grasping your attention in the first act, even though it tends to slow down a lot in the second. The third act successfully ramps it back up and this is where the movie shines as the over the top gorefest it is. There are a few suspenseful scenes that will keep you invested and glued to the screen, and there are quite a few interactions between characters thay will give you some laughs to ease the tension the rest of the movie lays on you. Fun movie to watch, and definitely a good movie to recommend.

Norval Greenwood (Elijah Wood) visits his estranged father after receiving an unexpected letter from him. He hasn't seen his father for decades. Then the father grows more bitter and drunken over time. The situation gets more and more surreal.

This is a nice little black comedy horror but I do think that it could have pushed harder. It could be funnier or more brutal in filming. It's all there but the movie seems to be holding back. Norval is like that. Elijah Wood plays the wimp here and he does grow a pair over time. I would have liked him to fight harder in the motel. I expected more henchmen coming for him. I expected more from this movie.

So many times I watched a movie with bad reviews mainly rated by young people and it turned out I loved the movie. Can YouTube somehow take into consideration to show ratings per generation or age range?

I'm tired of trolls with short attention spans having a major impact on ratings, using reviews as an outlet for their primary reactions. Most of their comments are immature, stupid or ignorant.

Yeah, c'mon hate on me. I bet this probably sounds like grumpy old man talk to you.

Let's just respect the fact that there is a generation gap and I'd like to be able to sort the ratings by age range.

Creative little flick with a few surprises. The acting in this is was great. Elijah Woods and Stephen Mcgattie shared some really good scenes. Dragged a little here and there but was still a decent film. The few unexpected twists were cool. The last scene kinda fell short in my opinion..6 stars not bad.

Thankfully it's not a comedy-horror as you may expect. More of a quirky thriller with moments of over the top violence. Great set-up about a son of fruity hipster appearance looking to reconnect with his brutish estranged father. Solid performance from Wood and McHattie during the first half. Last half plays out fairly typically, not particularly bad, enjoyable enough, but nothing to get excited about.
