Julian P Weird, gorey, but entertaining. Kinda like if the Coen Bros made a mad slasher movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/20 Full Review John W An ever-changing blast! It can be rare in this day and age for a film to be completely surprising, but "Come to Daddy" is such a film! Even the guesses made from the trailer won't at all prepare you for what's in store! A fun, unexpectedly moving thriller with hilarious performances and cheeky bits of gore! Go in cold and you'll have so much fun! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/20 Full Review Rosana B Que filme absurdo, estranho e bizarro, amei… Adoro essa comédia de humor irônico suspeito, tudo imprevisivelmente detalhado, o efeito surpresa bisonho a cada novo ato nos pega desprevenidamente e surpreende pela estranheza que causa, fotografia bela, tudo adoravelmente genuíno com a atuação desajeitadamente proposital e talentosa de Elijah Wood perfeito para o papel, roteiro redondinho, com situações exageradas, porém amáveis, por filmes criativos, irreverentes e sanguinolentos assim... Ameiiii Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review prawnda s there are some issues with realism, for instance the chains used to hold a guy prisoner are clearly not tight enough to prevent slipping out, and i just don't think it would have been hard to make it look better. any number of things could be used, for instance a pair of handcuffs if they really are too incompetent to make the chains tighter. elijah wood's character has an extremely fake neck tattoo that they insist on doing close ups on in good lighting. some of the special effects regarding fake bruises and swelling look quite cheap as well. overall, the film is a good watch, the props and settings are well done besides the chains, but the makeup department just totally flopped. as for the narrative, it's pretty good but i really think it could have used a little extra something at the end. i would have enjoyed the film drastically more if elijah wood's character had been just a little more devious instead of so innocent. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Cheryl C I was hopeful in the beginning of this movie because of the good actors that are in it. It was actually pretty good up to the death of the father. It then took the turn of a bad high school essay. A great thesis without anything to back it up. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Kevin P A bizarre but truly interesting psychological horror comedy about a young man invited to his estranged father who slowly finds a dark past waiting for him. It’s not exactly a pleasant watch. One with plenty of cringe comedy and some bizarre set pieces. But arguably that adds to the movie’s clever use of tension and unease that lets you know something’s up, even before the horror comes into play. There’s a lot of quiet ambience to let the seaside atmosphere settle in with some nice cinematography, scenery, and lighting. There’s a twist that happens a third of the way through that caught me off guard. And then the twists keep coming as the truth unravels and subverts your expectations to where you’re really not sure where the story is going. But I appreciate that it still ties together with the main narrative/themes the movie set up from the beginning and still makes sense even in retrospective. Elijah Wood does a great job at really conveying some heavy emotional vulnerability with a gentle subtlety that gives weight to his words and expressions. A great contrast to the majority of the characters’ grimy exterior. The movie isn’t a masterpiece, but it’s certainly a creepy endearing underrated gem of 2020.
