If there is a movie that has been present in most of the genre festivals in the past 2019 it is horror-thriller and comedy Come to Daddy (2019). The movie is the debut feature film as a director of Ant Timpson, who has been producer of some of the most interesting titles of the last years like Turbo Kid (2015), Deathgasm (2015), The Greasy Strangler (2016) and the horror anthology The ABCs of Death (2012) and its sequels ABCs of Death 2 (2014) and ABCs of Death 2.5 (2016).
In Come to Daddy (2019), Norval, played by Elijah Wood, isn’t having the time of his life right now; he’s trying to overcome his drinking problems and has gone back to live with his mother. So when his estranged father invites him to spend a few days at his beachfront home, it seems like an opportunity to strengthen their parent-child ties. However, it won’t be long before he realizes that something bizarre is going on with his father and he confirms that family reunions often seem more like a nightmare.
Together with Elijah Wood, Stephen McHattie, Garfield Wilson, Madeleine Sami, Martin Donovan, Michael Smiley, Simon Chin, Ona Grauer, and Ryan Beil also star. The movie was written by Toby Harvard, one of the writers of The Greasy Strangler (2016), based on an idea of director Ant Timpson.
