Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Nicolas Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

tdrish Sorry, did I say a little? This Australian horror movie delivers an emotional and disturbing punch, and that's putting it lightly. It spins a tale about a guy who finds out that his daughter had been kidnapped ( I told you to fix the window!) Things escalate when he gets the word that they have found his daughter. Unfortunately, they never said they found her alive. A sorry excuse for an investigation follows, which renders totally useless for months to come. Coming across a diary, the man learns a shocking discovery...he finds out who killed, and possibly molested, his daughter, and it has hit way too close to home. Finding out his own brother guilty, and finding out that he recorded other victims within his own diary, sends daddy into a frenzy, and he's taking matters into his own hands. None of it is pretty, none of it is for the squeamish or faint of heart. We're talking hardcore, barbaric, ruthless and emotionless pedophile torture. How much torture? I'd safely assume the last 50 minutes of the movie, almost nonstop torture, acts so bad they'd probably make Charles Manson cry, so you HAVE BEEN WARNED. Now, for the haters of this film, and their one or two star reviews, listen: They just don't see the point. The movie, from what I see, shares two characteristics in which I feel it is a movie that should have been made. Point 1...Hopefully, it serves as some sort of comfort to see a rapist clearly get what he deserves to anyone who has lost their child. Point 2...Hopefully, it serves as some sort of wake up call to anyone who has any intentions on harming a child. HARD CANDY got the same kind of bad reviews, probably for the same reason, they don't feel like scum like this deserves this kind of punishment. It will clearly be up to the viewer to decide for themselves who the monster really is. It's not a movie for everyone, and it's not a movie for those who are easily upset. I recommend, it could very well be the most anti-pedophile movie ever made.

MidiHorrorReviews Daddy's Little Girl is an Australian film (2012) written and directed by Chris Sun .Review - Firstly let me say , don't judge this film based on the scathing reviews some had for it on IMDb. I feel sometimes people don't immerse themselves in a film properly and pick simplistic flaws , rather than view its beauty. My only real complaint would be the fact there was NO physical evidence of the killer ? We know in this day and age there is always some minute piece of DNA these days . Its a flaw yes , but not one that drives the film.This film makes its point clear - you don't mess with anyone's child ! A parents revenge is more powerful than ANYONE else's ! Chris Sun has made this poignantly clear in this film. Through his use of an impressive fresh Aussie cast , hauntingly emotive beautiful music , fantastic visual locations and a well written and cleverly executed script ; Chris has been able to entice the viewer in and keep them hooked for the length of the film (and i admit ,pen in hand as usual , i found it hard to take notes during certain scenes - beach , funeral ,some of the torture- for review purposes). Six year old Georgia is played by Billi Baker ; an adorable little girl full of love , giggles and spirit like any child of that age. With her hauntingly blue eyes and fair hair , she was a clear choice for the role and displays such in her performance. Derek is played by Michael Thomson . As a doting dad , we see his love and affection for Georgia ; as he trudges through the rigmarole of balancing time with his daughter , work , social life , and battling with his ex over mundane issues (as do most separated / divorced parents). In an instant we see this lovable ,lively man ; become a hollow shell , hiding from the world and drowning in sorrow following the death of his daughter. His spark is only reignited when he exacts his revenge on his daughter's killer , in a variety of inventive (and well informed) ways. Colin (Derek's business partner and friend) is played by Sean Gannon . He tries to play therapist to his friend and at times is seen as a strong supportive character in the film. Tommy (Derek's brother) is played by Christian Redford . In the beginning he's just a loutish , goofy young man ; who believes the world is his oyster. At times he comes off a simple slacker , but as we learn in the film "there is more than meets the eye". Allira Jaques is Stacey (Georgia's mother and Derek's ex) . She plays the sole parent , struggling to prove she can do things for herself just perfectly. She is raw , reactive and inconsolable at the right moments. Last for a big mention is Darrell Plumridge as Detective Michael Harris . As our law enforcer trying desperately to solve a case with little to no leads , he ambles through the film , somewhat desperately trying to comfort Derek and also do his duty. Music in the film includes some impressive piano scores . A hauntingly ethereal piece is played when Georgia's body is discovered at the beach . The use of an emotional operatic piece during the funeral scene , adds to the distress and tugs at your heart to the verge of tears. Throughout the film these piano themed pieces are used (primarily during dream / memory sequences with Georgia) and are executed at perfect moments. The Sunshine Coast backdrops are a true thing of beauty (even a Sydney resident like i can admit that) . The location choices were superb . From the leafy street Georgia goes missing from ( i feel perhaps channel tens 'secrets and lies' copied you there Chris ) , the beach her body is discovered on (on the perfectly dull and graying day) , and even simple house locations. Being a parent I felt for this plot , it reached inside me and pulled at my reactive core. How would you react to this situation? If the police dragged their ass for 6 months , trying to solve your child's murder , would you take a form of vigilante justice ? I think an honest answer (for all parents) ...is YES!! This film preys on that awful dark feeling , which hides deep within us all, and pulls it forward into a bitter ugly limelight. It engages and engrosses you , in a sordid world of torture and leaves only a strange joy , when it's all over. This film on its own is amazing . A visually stimulating , emotional roller-coaster of sorrow , evil and vengeance. I won't discuss too in-depth about the plot itself , how it unfolds or who the killer is (which is apparent early on) . You know i don't like to spoil things and prefer for you to judge it for yourselves. I will however add that the torture itself is of a class of its own . The only pleasure to be deduced from the torture scenes ,should be one based on a purely emotional response to the evolution of the storyline. I would lastly like to thanks Chris Sun for NOT over indulging the viewer with an image during the discovery of Georgia's body . Less is best and you took that road well ....a lot of others would've used it to steer the anger , you did not . Tasteful and respectful to your viewers! Well don't Chris , I can't wait to see " Charlie's Farm" when that comes out soon !!

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.
