Critics Consensus

Bloody horror with barbed wit, Come to Daddy anchors its brutal violence in a surprisingly mature approach to provocative themes.

Brutal violence abounds in these coastal mysteries, but they're not all show.

Incredibly violent and very fun and very strange.

Any film that opens quoting William Shakespeare and Beyoncé is meant to be regarded with skepticism and giggles, but this dog gets sillier by the minute.

The most terrifying thing called Come To Daddy to appear on screen since the Aphex Twin video!

Weird, gorey, but entertaining. Kinda like if the Coen Bros made a mad slasher movie.

An ever-changing blast! It can be rare in this day and age for a film to be completely surprising, but "Come to Daddy" is such a film! Even the guesses made from the trailer won't at all prepare you for what's in store! A fun, unexpectedly moving thriller with hilarious performances and cheeky bits of gore! Go in cold and you'll have so much fun!

After 10 minutes of boredom and zero interest in the characters or what happens next I gave up watching.

Don’t know why RT has this classified as comedy. Nor is it horror although it has elements of both, certainly. It’s a great story that’s well acted and well directed. I loved it.

There is a nice mix of action and intrigue to this one. Went in blind and was not quite sure where the movie would take me next. It's definitely worth checking out.
