Craig B Daughter is not a movie you can particularly enjoy. Certainly an interesting and disturbing watch. Would suit those who like their thrillers broody and unsettling. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review Hugo S A woman is held captive by a deranged man and forced to become part of a surrogate family. The patriarch does everything he can to protect his Son from an outside world devastated by disease. The Father's twisted ideas are challenged by the new Daughter, who stances a serious threat to the bizarre beliefs imposed by the psychotic man. Shot in grainy 16mm, "Daughter" is an arthouse horror movie resembling some of the mediatic cases of long-term imprisonment. Set in a single location, the movie tackles the toxic effects of extreme authority and control. The minimalistic cinematography amplifies the dread atmosphere inside the house and the constant sense of fear towards Father, who embodies the figure of a manipulative cult leader. The movie does an outstanding job in subverting the traditional family roles. Captivating! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Sep Z Good acting and concepts but the movie did not give nearly enough information to actually understand what was going on. Leaves you wanting an explanation, overall waste of time. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Danton M Not impressed, not at all. For only 95 minutes, the movie seems twice as long. Too many scenes apparently trying to create tension only created restlessness and boredom in me. How many times do we need the camera to move slowly from room to empty room? How often do we need a lingering look at Daughter's face? And too many unanswered questions (Spoilers!) What's the purpose of taking Son's blood? What is up with the crazy scene the "children" act out? We have no inkling of the sort of performance they will do, then WHAM! it's psychedelic time! As for the ending, apparently the writer couldn't come up with a satisfactory one, thus the faux-mysterious, "thought-provoking" conclusion that leaves a viewer wondering "What the hell?" when The End appears onscreen. Speaking of time, don't waste yours on this movie. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/26/23 Full Review Daniel G Not bad, just exactly like Dogstooth. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/23 Full Review Mark T This movie was outstanding. It's not really horror, and not really trying to scare you, but it's creepy and atmospheric, and really tense throughout. It makes you think about the state of the world, the way people force their beliefs on others, and how dangerous that can be when we're all forced to coexist. Love the old school cinematography, it makes it look like it was shot in the 70s. If you like slow burn movies that make you think, or more artsy stuff, definite check this out. You won't be disappointed! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
