This should properly be called "Step Daddy's Girl", which isn't quite as disgusting as the incest implied here initially. Sadly, everything else is disgusting. The villain of the piece is a serial killer who served in Iraq. It wasn't his wartime experience that turned him into what he is, rather he appears to have joined the military for the express purpose of killing and torturing, not necesssarily in that order.
Now he is located in rural America living with his stepdaughter, her mother having committed suicide some years before. Although he isn't particularly attractive, he finds it remarkably easy with a little help from his companion to pick up reasonably attractive young women, take them home, and torture them. There is no suggestion even of rape, just pure sadism and bloodlust.
Fortunately, he is soon recognised by a local lawman who also served in Iraq, although he looks far too young to have done so. There is a resolution and a somewhat unusual final scene, but apart from that, this modern day film noir in colour has no merit at all.

Daddy's Girl (2018)
Disappointed
If you wanne see of of those torture movies...look elsewhere. Yes, this one is mostly about torturing and killing young girls. But there is no gore. It's more playing in your head. But that's not bad. Seeing another CGI effect or artificial body parts ripped of gets boring over time. No, what makes this one an disappointment for me is the character of Daddy's girl. She is a helpful hand in getting new victims and satisfy daddy's needs in bed. She is watching him torturing the girls and only once (without known reasons) she helps a girl.....in putting a gun into her mouth. But the biggest fail is...the end. She makes an 180 and now is killing those who harm girls.
Playtime (is over?)
Whatever you think of this - thriller/torture porn/craziness - one thing is clear: Costas Mandylor had the time of his life shooting this. The man you may know from the Saw franchise plays a wicked character in this one, where family is more than important.
It is a tough watch and I have to admit, while it is brutal and has some cringe worthy scenes in it (yes I always remembered this is only a movie, still you can't completely detach can you?),I was happy it was edited in a way, that gave you some time to breache. The actors overall are really good in it and the original way they were going to end the movie probably would have elevated the whole thing, but we didn't get that. Instead we get something more predictable, which is also fine overall (for the other ending watch the vlog on the disc, won't spoil it here for you)
