Playfully peculiar cinematic agitator Art Timson's sinisterly surreal slice n' dice of blackly comedic crappy families finds the minutely moustachioed, and titillatingly tonsured, somewhat ineffectual, disenfranchised young man Norval (Elijah Wood) at a stressfully existential crossroads, a universally neurotic nincompoop whose insular, smartphone miniaturised life is about to take a precipitous plunge into preternaturally strange paternal perfidy after he visits his long estranged father at his creepily isolated 60s UFO-fashioned domicile. 'Come To Daddy' is a fiendishly twisted, riotously entertaining, deliciously morbid satire about the myriad insanities of family life, and there's a brash Joe Orton/Irvin Welsh vivacity to poor beleaguered Norval's increasingly disturbing revelations, perhaps, by courageously attempting to seek closure with his absentee pater unfamilias he inadvertently opens up an especially pernicious Pandora's box of starkly savage, paradigm shifting, bodybag-filling secrets! Elijah Wood's Norval is one of the most adorably frustrating, awkwardly fragile protagonists in recent memory, and the uniquely coiffed lad's hyperbolically hate-fuelled hero's journey is not one this blissfully brain-boggled viewer is likely to soon forget!

Creative little flick with a few surprises. The acting in this is was great. Elijah Woods and Stephen Mcgattie shared some really good scenes. Dragged a little here and there but was still a decent film. The few unexpected twists were cool. The last scene kinda fell short in my opinion..6 stars not bad.

First 20 min or so I was going to rate this higher, but as it went on it's rating started to fall. Characters from the estranged son & supposed dad along with the behavior of all others didn't come across as real. Lots of four letter obscenities to fill a dialogue that was going nowhere. Brief action scenes also yawning unbelievable. Lack of attention to detail, e.g. character not locking steel trap door; using the being used car trunk to hide in; Calif. zip code with 555 movie area code with location either in Mich. or Ontario with address in Portland and non-existent bus company; filmed on Vancouver Island, Canada. Pointless, awkward attempt at serendipity w/tiger toy; tiger plastic bag; large tiger sign. That's what happens when New Zealand, Ireland, Canada, US create a disjointed unreal script.
