Come to Daddy

First half is better than the second half. Around the 51 minute mark, the movie changes completely. The first half is 10/10. Second half is more of a 5/10. I wish it would've remained a father & son conflict as it was in the beginning. The enemies and their tactics are not very believable. There's a number of very unrealistic choices made by all the characters. But I was still entertained throughout, so I recommend it.

The plot seems innocuous at first, but then it gets weird then downright bizarre. This is in a good way though, as the plot twists in ways you can't imagine. It is an strange but enjoyable journey.

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.

A musician from Beverly Hills receives a letter from his estranged father asking him to come and visit him in his secluded cabin overlooking a lake n surrounded by woods. As audience we suspect that something is not right after the phone calls, but trust me the film is not at all predictable. It is very hilarious n well acted. Elijah Wood gave a good performance and Michael Smiley is hilarious with his ultimate weapons, a pen n a crossbow. The film is a bit slow in the beginning but picks up n then doesn't let go. I was laughing my guts out. I didn't like the director's Greasy Strangler. Found it gross n offensive. But this movie is less gross n more comedic.

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.
