Come to Daddy (2019)

"Winning Directorial Debut from the Producer of ABCs of Death"

After deservedly huge acclaim on 2019's festival circuit, Ant Timpson's twisty turny frequently hilarious horror comes to disc and digital HD from Signature Entertainment on the Frightfest Presents label.

Urban hipster Norval (Elijah Wood) receives a letter from the father he hasn't seen since he was five inviting him to the man's remote Oregon home. When Norval gets there he is met with nothing but animosity, threats, and a refusal to discuss why his father has even invited him from a man superbly played by Stephen McHattie. 

        Then something happens that plunges Norval into a world I wasn't expecting at all & neither will you which is why I'm not going to say any more. Great performances, a quirky script from Toby Harvard (who co-wrote THE GREASY STRANGLER but don't let that put you off) and carried off with a serious amount of style from director Ant Timpson (the man behind THE ABCS OF DEATH) COME TO DADDY is as the 2019 Frightfest programme put it, a 'deliciously edgy stunner'. 

Extras on the Blu-ray (but not the DVD) include CRAB BOY, Ant Timpson's eleven minute bizarre black and white first short film. Is this the only movie to credit the creator of 'Crab Gloves'? You also get a Michael Smiley red carpet interview, and a far more indepth interview with Ant Timpson conducted by Paul McAvoy, where Timpson talks about, amongst other things, the extraordinary real-life situation that inspired his original idea. No commentary track unfortunately, but you do get 5.1 surround and 2.0 stereo sound options.

Ant Timpson's COME TO DADDY is available from Signature Entertainment's Frightfest Presents label on digital HD from 21st February 2020 and on UK Blu-ray and DVD from 2nd March 2020
