Father's Day is a Troma film and such as these production type movies, it isn't mainstream and certainly for a specific niche audience. There is most definitely a certain charm and bizarreness that makes this film worthwhile and engaging to watch. A lot happens and it is completely unpredictable in which direction it takes.
It is cheap and the over the top special effects look as such making nothing exactly shocking but more so disturbing and somewhat cringe.
The plot starts off relatively slow but once the lead character of Ahab (who sounds like he's doing a Batman voice impersonation) is further brought in, the film gets going.
Troma films shouldn't be judge by ordinary standards. They are not exactly "good" in the same way that mainstream Hollywood films might be good. They are "good" by being as insane and over the top graphically with cheesy acting as possible.
Containing boundary pushing gore, everything is intended to be offensive and sick. It works since it feels quite original and very "out there". It is gory, sick, depraved, self-knowingly silly, and entertaining if you're in the right frame of mind. Sure, however it succeeds in doing the exact thing it sets out to.
The ending is somewhat of a cop out and sort of drags on, when we see the final reveal, although quite unpredictable in a sense.
Like Troma films, Father's Day isn't for everyone, though for fans of Troma or oddball, unconventional spoof comedy/over the top cheesy unrealistic gore films, it's certainly watchable.
