3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Come to Daddy’: 1. I give it points for being wacky, weird, and original. And Elijah was fun to watch. Even though it felt like the film didn’t know what it wanted to be, the randomness kinda worked. 2. In the end, it’s quite forgettable. The film ends with no significant payoff or message. The final scene left me feeling a bit empty and disappointed. 3. I thought the film started off strong and super eerie. It legit made me uncomfortable. I went in knowing nothing and thought it’d end up being a supernatural story. It definitely took more than a few turns and was nothing I’d expected — both a good and not-so-good thing. Bonus Thought: I thought it was clever how we find out that Gordon sympathized with Norval, and why he didn’t kill him.

I'm not quite sure what this film wanted to be. It was a weirdly tense psychological drama for the first half, then it takes a left turn into an escape thriller, and then it sort of whimpers out into a revenger that really gives you nothing to hold on to. I'm still struggling to pull much from this after having sat through it. Maybe it's supposed to showcase Elijah Wood's character growing in some way, but I'm not sure he really grows in any ways that feel good or positive. *Shrug*

Best part of the movie... [spoiler]the shit pen[/spoiler]

Come to Daddy is a funny thriller with some horror elements in it. It's a fun ride with some dark comedy and great lines. Elijah Wood is supporting a decent stache and I love his choice for movies the past for years! This one is a film by Ant Timpson (his debut!) and is a Horror/Thriller/Comedy mix. The story is simple but slowly unfolds. We have Norval (Elijah Wood) visiting his estranged father after he left him and his mom 30 years prior. From that point on the story unfolds. I don't want to reveal anything about the plot but it's loads of fun! If you have 90 minutes to spare, be sure to check out Come to Daddy. I really enjoyed it and I think you will too.
