Killing Daddy

I totally agree with the good reviews this movie got. Killing Daddy's easily the best TV movie I've ever seen. Interesting plot, and very good acting of the main character. I love how the story is told from Callie's point of view so you relate to her even though she is the 'bad guy' (well, girl) in the story. Elizabeth Gillies', who plays Callie, acting is outstanding, she's the other reason you completely relate to Callie. Very well done. The story has a good build up and leads to a dramatic finale. It really captured me and I was really impressed both by the story as the acting. Killing Daddy is my new favorite TV movie! I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes a good psychological thriller/drama.

The acting is horrible, the editing is porly made and so is the sound and cinematography, everything looks as it have been done by amateures. Can't belive all the high ratings, not worth watching!

If you're a huge fan of Liz Gillies (as I am), this is a must see movie. Thanks to to her, this rises above the usual blah Lifetime movie. Credit whoever did the casting for this, would have rated a lot lower if one of the usual Lifetime regulars had played the Callie role.

This was a great film. I enjoyed watching it. Elizabeth Gillies was a terrific selection for the lead. I thought that the storyline was terrific. There was some room for improvement but it was still good. Some parts of this film are slow. This film reveals to viewers a real close insight and depth of mental and psychological health. There are multiple issues out in the world that not many people are aware of.

For instance, I have had a rare syndrome since I was born. The topic of the rare syndrome that I have and other rare syndromes are not discussed nor heard about much. Health issues need to be heard more around the world. This film reveals a small fraction of that. Viewers would learn and enjoy watching this film.

Callie Ross (Elizabeth Gillies) is stealing and getting fired in her aimless life. She steals her petty criminal boyfriend Jake's truck. With nowhere to go, she decides to go home. Her father, who originally cut her off, had a vegetative stroke. Despite her stepmother Emma (Cynthia Stevenson) and half-sister Laura Ross (Tori Anderson)'s open arms, Callie sees an opportunity to seek revenge for her mother who committed suicide.

Trying to tell a story from the villain's side is always difficult and infinitely fascinating. It's different from other Lifetime TV movies in that the female lead is not a victim. In fact, I expected a tale of sexual abuse by the father. I guess it's interesting that it does not go down that path. It would elevate the stakes if the money amount is bigger. The style is strictly Lifetime TV. The switch does leave a confused rooting interest and resign this to a limited idea. Gillies has a damaged bratty beauty persona. She needs to spice it up with some more volatile violence. She needs to single white female this more.
