DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL is a bold and bonkers torture-fest, as advertised. It also happens to be a moving indie-drama at the same time. If you like Horror realism with A+ gore-effects, welcome to your new favorite guilty- pleasure. The filmmaker nicely takes his time setting up the story during the first hour and then, well, I pity the unsuspecting viewer who doesn't know what's coming. For a micro-budget project, the acting is decent, the cinematography is well-done and the hardcore horror fans get their huge dose of over-the- top sadistic gnarly- ness. Haven't we all seen so many ridiculously bad attempts at low-budget Horror? I sure have and DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL is quite the opposite. Brilliant work.

Its been about two years since this films release, and for some reason I don't know why I haven't watched it till now. I thought I would watch this movie to support an Australian filmmaker and to support a film made in my area. What I have noticed in most Australian horror films is that most of them have a good storyline, but really bad actors, CGI or Special Effects, and this just does not give the film a good look. So when I pushed play, the first thing going through my mind was, I best prepare myself for terrible effects and terrible acting which was just going to make me cringe, the only thing I was looking forward to was the storyline..... Well I can tell you now, after watching this film, I must say, NEVER HAVE I BEEN SO WRONG. This entire film was enjoyable from start to finish, well some of it a bit uncomfortable but you will have to see those parts for yourself.The acting throughout the whole film is absolutely on point, especially when it comes to little Billi Baker, man that girl pulls off her cuteness and innocence really good throughout her time in the film, and hats off to Michael Thomson, this guy is awesome, from switching to cool surfer dad to the messed in the head revenge giver is why I give him credit for being a great Australian actor. There was also good acting from minor roles as well and the extras were not to bad.Slaughter FX definitely live down their name, but I guess I can't go to deep into that so lets just say the SFX are pretty bloody good Now the storyline the most loved part of Australian films in my opinion. I am telling you now, besides the fact I think this is one of the greatest story lines I have seen in a film, it is basically an emotional roller coaster. the movie basically goes like this: Happiness then Distressed then Relief then Absolute Gut Wrenching Sadness then More Sadness then it Gradually Gets Happier then Anger then Uncomfortable Feelings With Humour then Sadness then Happiness/sadness, This movie does not get boring I swear, the only downside to the story line was that it took about 40mins to get to the main twist and have the real stuff to start. it might sound weird coming from a guy but this movie made me cry like a little girl... twice. In my opinion this movie has got to have one of the most touching, saddest yet happiest endings off all time... yes I literally put 3 different emotions for one ending, I did say this movie is an emotional roller coaster.So ill have to end this review off with saying that you should definitely watch this movie if your into messed up sh*t, but also love a good story line. it is indeed one of the greatest Australian films I have ever seen.

This is one of the best films of its kind that I've ever seen. However, it does require a pretty strong stomach. I've seen my fair share of what many people have come to call "torture porn" and even I gagged a couple times near the end. The movie was well paced and well written. The actors were believable and Michael Thomson did an incredibly good job as lead character Derek. Billie Baker as Georgia did very well also. The torture scenes were brutal and creative without getting too gross, except for the part where he was ripping out teeth and its only a few minutes long. The essence of the story is that Derek's daughter goes missing from her room one night, to be found later brutally murdered. 6 months later Derek discovers who killed his precious little Georgia and sets about punishing the killer, whom you could say he was very close to. In the end, Derek shows a level of basic decency, of sorts, which I highly applaud. The ending was excellent and rounded out the movie well. Now, some reviewers saw plot holes, but I didn't notice many. One person asked why there were cameras in Derek's house. In my opinion, this is easily deduced given the fact that the killer is obviously a pedophile. True, the answer isn't handed to you on a silver platter, but would it not be every pedophile's wet dream to get to watch a child bathe and such?I would not recommend this to anyone who doesn't at the very least enjoy a strong revenge/payback movie. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a lot of gore and bloodshed. My favorite thing about this movie is that it has an excellent reason for the torture and unlike most films of its kind, not "just because."

I am in the middle of reading "The Disaster Artist" by Greg sestero.I was trying to think of another movie with such seriousness but such stupid diologue, bad acting and plot holes.Then thought of this movie I watched a few weeks back.If you like the room you will get a bit of a giggle out of this for how bad it is, but also it is very gory, but the gore though it is done well is wasted on a poor story and bad direction.What the hell did those cameras in the brothers house have to do with anything? Who was that guy on the couch talking like he is a doctor? and the plot holes go on, have fun picking them.You have been warned.If you want to watch a real father revenge movie try "the Horseman"
