SPOILER ALERT ! I watched some movies about revenge but I have to say this movie made me sick to my stomach and I truly mean it. I am not a fragile person and I watched all type of horror movies you can get but the subject of the movie and the way it is presented was just too much to bear.First : the overall structure of the movie. During a big half of the movie there is not much else to brag about and then it's 40-50 min of non stop torture ...Second : the stupidity of the Rapist who let his personnal journal on his desk !! How can you be so dumb about such a serious crime ? And in a house when you organise a party !!!!!Third : The lovely little daddy with no medical knowledge who become an expert of the human body and is able to make a tracheotomy, etc...Fourth : Yes, the criminal is a pedophile but HOW ON EARTH CAN YOU TAKE PLEASURE to watch a human being torture in such vicious way ? People say that the person who dislike this movie doesn't understand it blablabla but I personnaly find it takes a very sick and twisted person to appreciate this film and try to defend it by saying "it's great and the peole who don't like him miss the point of this movie". THERE IS NO POINT ! It's just another dark and vulgar torture porn who turn the main character into the villain, not allowing any kind of explanations/confession because he is too busy make the criminal suffer.I appreciate the law of the Talion but not like this. And I am truly disgust to know that there are peoples cruel and stupid enough to make a movie like this thinking "it's gonna be entertaining to watch". Now if you excuse me, I have to go watch Little House on the Prairie to remind me that life is good and people are awesome.

Yes, most -if not all- of the people who gave this 9's and 10's are likely family and friends of the filmmakers, but the people giving it 1's are being pretty melodramatic and jaded.Cinematography, writing, acting, directing, editing, music - it's all passable. None of it really wow's, but it all gets the job done. A lot of the dialogue feels forced and unnatural, but none of it yanked me out of the narrative.Where the film excels is the violence. The gore effects are all very good and a lot of it succeeded in getting under my skin. I don't understand how so many reviews here can point out how good the effects are and still give the movie a 1. I think the technical work on the gore is easily worth at least a 3 out of 10 on it's own.(minor spoiler) My only major complaint is that I don't think people can scream like that with a tracheotomy. Though maybe I'm wrong there. I also didn't like how the mother character just completely disappeared from the movie after the funeral. (/end spoiler)As far as revenge films go, this isn't a satisfying ass-kicker like John Wick or The Crow, nor is it a classier drama like Man on Fire or Ransom. It's more of a torture film, comparable to Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood. But if you're into that, definitely check this out.

Best movie I have seen in ages. Absolutely a must watch. Am proud to say this is now one in my collection. Great Aussie movie. Can not wait to see what else you guy's bring out. Absolutely fantastic cast and crew. Well done Chris. I did not take my eyes off the TV until it was finished. Then i was speechless. There is nothing I could say. Just watch this awesome movie. You will not regret it. Defiantly rated the right way. There is not one thing I would fault at all in this movie. I would have to rate Daddy's Little Girl as my number one movie that I have seen this year.It is a real eye opener. I will be showing and telling everyone that I know to watch it. Would be a real eye opener if this was not a movie. There would of been a lot of thought go into this movie. How you made it all come together was just fantastic. Every detail was just so real like it was really happening right in front of you. Even the noise wow. My favorite part would have to be were he figured out who it was and how fast it all then happened. He lived a great life. Still can not believe it was him. Wow mind blowing.

Daddy's Little Girl is a film with a strong plot and progresses into something you can never anticipate. A shocking story based on real events that opens up our own realisations to our vulnerabilities and capability in a similar situation to what's portrayed in this film. When a normal father is driven to a state of anguish on the path to insanity after realising he had lost his little girl. The film drives you deeper into the mind of the father, as he maintains his normal persona, while committing atrocious acts. The SFX are a standout in the film with some of the most graphic acts and realism that I have seen in any Australian horror film. The director pushes the boundaries and fans of genuine gut churning horror will find Daddy's Little Girl a treat from the mostly predictable and unconvincing effects that we are desensitised to. Michael Thomson plays the role of the father with conviction and Chris Sun pulls no punches to create a must watch Aussie horror that will leave you asking "What's next"?
