Featured review
I discovered Daddy's Head through an image that, I must admit, left me feeling slightly uneasy. As a fan of horror, I couldn't resist digging deeper into the movie. Its premise seemed promising, that familiar mix of mystery and psychological horror that, when done right, can really grip the viewer. But that's where the disappointment started.
The film starts with an idea that, at first glance, seemed to have potential. It's not quite a slow burn, but it's also far from being a film made for mainstream audiences. Daddy's Head takes its time building the narrative, but not in the best way. The story drags, with a slowness that could have been used to create tension or suspense, but instead, it ends up being a collection of clichés. The horror and suspense are introduced in a forced manner, lacking the creativity and charm needed to truly captivate.
Speaking of clichés, Daddy's Head is full of recycled ideas from various horror films of the last 20 years, pushing us into a bland experience, lacking any real impact.
What intrigued me, in a way, was the dynamic between the protagonists. The characters are surprisingly well-written for a film with no real identity. I enjoyed the interaction between the stepmother and stepson, and found myself more interested in how their relationship developed than in the main plot.
I wouldn't say Daddy's Head is a terrible movie because that would be an exaggeration. It's minimally competent in what it does. The cinematography is decent, and the actors' performances, though limited by the script, are enough to keep the viewer somewhat engaged. However, the film lacks any artistic personality. It's missing that spark that sets good horror films apart from those that merely try to be. It's the kind of movie that's fine for passing the time but quickly fades from memory without leaving much of an impression. Still, give it a watch-you might enjoy it more than I did.
