Norval élete enyhén szólva is nehéz volt. Az anyjával élő, problémás fiatalember alkoholfüggőséggel küzd. Egy nap levelet kap az elidegenedett apjától, aki arra kéri, hogy látogassa meg a távoli, tengerparti otthonában. Talán az újbóli találkozás megadja neki azt az érzelmi töltetet, ami eddig hiányzott neki. Norval azonban gyorsan rájön, hogy valami nem stimmel az apjával. Rádöbben, hogy az apa-fiú kötelék halálra van ítélve. A családi újraegyesítés helyett valóságos rémálomba csöppent. (HBO Europe)

A kiváló, pszichológiai és titokzatos nyitány után, amikor minden kártya rendesen asztal alatt van elrejtve, kiderül, hogy egy olcsó gyilkos játékról van szó, rosszul elosztott szimpátiákkal egyes szereplők között, ráadásul ostobán alakuló cselekménnyel. És messze a legérdekesebb és a legjobban játszott karakter az első, aki kiesik a játékból. [Sitges FF]

A black-humor journey praised abroad, where Elijah Wood goes to visit a father he's never seen, but everything will be different than he expected. The film quite interestingly creates unexpected twists and turns with a mixture of black humour, and there is a bit of violence, so it's not completely bad, but nothing that would make me fall on my ass either (though a stabbing with a pen dipped in excrement is something I’d never seen). It's good for one viewing and I'm glad Elijah Wood has dedicated himself to horror. 5,5/10.

Come to Daddy begins as a mysterious story about the reunion of a father and son, whose immense differences are very obvious from the very beginning. It soon becomes clear that something is wrong with the father and the substantial suspense starts to really build. After the turn of events in the middle of the movie, however, it starts to move in the direction of almost some pirate adventure yarn, and it starts to really lose its mysterious atmosphere, however, at least it then heads into a stylishly eccentric finale. The tasty bit is that Stephen McHattie and Michael Smiley in particular have great on-screen presence, meaning they should have been given even more screen-time than they were given. [Sitges 2019]

From its very beginning, this film presents a dense drama about the reunion of a father and son after approximately thirty years, based on the premise that the father has become a hateful drunken bastard over the years, and there is nowhere to run from his cabin in the wilderness. After a major twist, about halfway through the story the film switches to another genre, which is practically unrelated to the previous events and is somewhat bizarrely straddled between a thriller and an off-the-wall black comedy. On paper, the film might look interesting and entertaining, but the result is unsatisfactory, as a number of directorial and screenwriting blunders and a desperately non-charismatic protagonist take the wind from its sails.

The co-production Come to Daddy shows that horror movies can have an atmosphere that builds slowly from the idea that something evil is lurking in the woods, whether it is paranormal or not. Elijah Wood proves that he is quite good at choosing interesting projects, especially in terms of picking specific movies and movie genres that are intriguing, and that is very true of Come to Daddy.
