SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

AJ Baxter 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.

imdb-18906 Please note that I rate very genre-specific movies like this one only in comparison with others in the same genre. I watched this movie despite some of the very negative reviews here and I'm glad I did. As a big fan of the genre, i.e. torture porn, what I wanted from this movie were visceral, gory and disturbing scenes, and this movie certainly did not disappoint. The story is good enough to support the premise and the acting is certainly better than in some of its genre classics (e.g. Hostel, some of the Saw movies etc.). What blew me away were the special effects that showed in graphic detail some of the very imaginative torture techniques. These are certainly some of the best I've seen. However, they did not make me cringe, like some other films did (Martyrs, Woman), and I gave it only an 8. If you don't like torture porn, this movie is not for you. If you do however, this one's worth your time.

Andy_Sparnon Daddy's Little Girl is a film with a strong plot and progresses into something you can never anticipate. A shocking story based on real events that opens up our own realisations to our vulnerabilities and capability in a similar situation to what's portrayed in this film. When a normal father is driven to a state of anguish on the path to insanity after realising he had lost his little girl. The film drives you deeper into the mind of the father, as he maintains his normal persona, while committing atrocious acts. The SFX are a standout in the film with some of the most graphic acts and realism that I have seen in any Australian horror film. The director pushes the boundaries and fans of genuine gut churning horror will find Daddy's Little Girl a treat from the mostly predictable and unconvincing effects that we are desensitised to. Michael Thomson plays the role of the father with conviction and Chris Sun pulls no punches to create a must watch Aussie horror that will leave you asking "What's next"?

mrevans2010-920-424507 After watching the trailer and making of props on Facebook this was a must see movie. This movie was slow at first and the acting felt just a little forced and lacking in some scenes while others made me bawl right along with the characters. For an Aussie made/produced film Chris Sun has done an amazing job at casting, prop work and special effects, having a weak stomach this movie was not easy to watch as the attention to detail is gruesome. As for casting his actor that plays the offender was a brilliant pick as his interaction with the child gives you the creeps right of the bat. My only other criticism is the story line could have been a bit more in depth when it came to mapping out who each character was and how they fit together for example the fuss made over the cousin, but there is only so much time in a movie. Other then that a must see for lovers of gore.
