Killing Daddy

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.

Killing Daddy is an intense drama about a young girl, Callie, with deep psychological problems who wants revenge for what her father did to her and her mother. It's a beautiful, intense and also a sad story, well written and very well performed. Callie is played by Elizabeth Gillies and she really has done an amazing job. It's really impressive how she manages to play a very disturbed girl in a way that makes you relate to her and feel with her. This lifts this what otherwise would be a typical lifetime movie to a different level. Gillies is able to make Callie a versatile character both strong and vulnerable, and this makes it to me her best movie so far. It shows her potential to become a very big star in the future, no doubt about that.

Callie (played by Elizabeth Gillies) is pretty much the only character that is fleshed out to some extent and have an actual personality. Every other character feels too much like your typical Lifetime side characters. They're just there to move the story from Point A to Point B or contribute nothing at all.

As a whole, the movie is FAR from perfect, but due to Gillies' exceptional acting and expressions, the movie is quite enjoyable whenever she's on the screen.

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.
