A sleazy exploration of domestic-abuse and human behavior is combined with feminist vigilante justice in Julian Richards’ horror-thriller. This indie gem pays homage to the 70s grindhouse, horror-revenge titles with frightening performance by Costas Mandylor as Daddy, as well as Zemma Dallender as Zoe, a step-daughter and an accomplice to many of Daddy’s travesties.
