Becca James Chicago Reader Brutal violence abounds in these coastal mysteries, but they're not all show. Dec 30, 2020 Full Review Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (LAist) Incredibly violent and very fun and very strange. Feb 15, 2020 Full Review Rex Reed Observer Any film that opens quoting William Shakespeare and Beyoncé is meant to be regarded with skepticism and giggles, but this dog gets sillier by the minute. Rated: 0/4 Feb 14, 2020 Full Review Dallas King Flick Feast The most terrifying thing called Come To Daddy to appear on screen since the Aphex Twin video! Rated: 3/5 Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review It's all more moving than you would expect. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 21, 2022 Full Review Alex Behan The Post NZ A taut, well-executed film.

Julian P Weird, gorey, but entertaining. Kinda like if the Coen Bros made a mad slasher movie. 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 out of 5 stars 02/08/20 Full Review David L Don’t know why RT has this classified as comedy. Nor is it horror although it has elements of both, certainly. It’s a great story that’s well acted and well directed. I loved it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Vince S Couldn't have been better. Kind of like his haircut. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Chris F There is a nice mix of action and intrigue to this one. Went in blind and was not quite sure where the movie would take me next. It's definitely worth checking out. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review D P Uh uh, no... not even sure why the score is so high here. I can go ahead and compliment the acting and cinematography. Par for the course. But the story did not grab me at any point in its progression. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
