Killing Daddy (2014)

I simply am in love with this movie. I really hope it will be released on DVD so I can watch it as many times as I like. It is an intense story about family, psychological disorders, love and revenge. A cliché lifetime movie? Could have been if it was not for Elizabeth Gillies who plays main character Callie Ross. Gillies really lifts this movie to a higher level, her acting is brilliant. She makes Callie a multi dimensional character, not just the crazy girl,but also likable and funny. That makes you feel sympathy with her even though she makes all the wrong choices. I was really deeply impressed with Liz' acting, she did an outstanding job.

Great movie and good acting, very underrated movie. Liz Gillies did great here, you wouldn't know that she used to be on the atrocious show that was Victorious on Nickelodeon. If Gillies was looking to break out of Nickelodeon and out of all the little kid stuff then she did it here. I would definitely check this one out. (Spoilers) The movie is about a woman called Callie who appears to have lost her way in the world but seemingly had some problems emotionally and mentally as a child. She is estranged from her dad but returns upon hearing that he has had a stroke and with no where else to go. Callie returns and is want very badly to make her father feel all the pain that she felt before. So is Callie really mentally unstable or is she really justified in all this?

Vapid characters and acting. 2/3 through the movie I reviewed the IMDb user reviews to see why it got a 7.0 rating and only then decided to finish watching it. Characters are shallow and under developed with clichéd performances....interest in movie relies upon plot twists from left field....actually; couldn't wait for it to be over. Might appeal to the under 16 yr old crowd. Waste of bandwidth and a movie to be totally forgotten in cinematic history. :( I enjoy all sorts of low budget thrillers; but this one is a high budget non movie. I can't understand why it has a 7.0 rating here. Usually I rely on the IMDb ratings but in this case we are totally at odds.

Killing daddy is a very interesting story about a young girl with deep psychological problems. As a kid, Callie saw her mother suffering sort like problems ending in committing suicide, leaving Callie to find her mom's body. Now is the interesting question: did Callie already suffer from the same problems her mother had as if it's some biological problem, or did she become like this because of all she suffered? Her father seems to think the former, making her leave the house and cutting her of completely instead of trying to help her. For me, I think it's more the latter, because who wouldn't turn out like that when you see your mother's suicide and your father abandons you? No surprise grown up Callie returns burning for revenge, I can't blame her. I think it's a really interesting story about psychological problems and dysfunctional families. The acting is very good, especially main character Callie played by Liz Gillies does an outstanding job. I would recommend it to anyone, it sure gives you food for thought.
