wes-connors After she is fired for stealing money from the cash register, voluptuous waitress Elizabeth Gillies (as Calista "Callie" Ross) leaves Independence, Missouri to live with her wealthy father in Philadelphia. Previously, he had Ms. Gillies institutionalized. She blamed daddy William R. Moses (as George A. Ross) for the death of her mother, after which Gillies began cutting herself. Returning home, Gillies learns Mr. Moses has suffered a stroke and is confined to his bed, unable to speak. Gillies decides to take revenge on her millionaire father and overcome the fact that he has disinherited her. One obstacle is dutiful housekeeper Cynthia Stevenson (as Emma Granger), who has become very close to her employer. Another problem arrives in the form of muscular "bad boy" Sebastian Pigott (as Jacob "Jake" Walkins), who wants a piece of the action. Tightly-dressed and fond of the low-cut look, Gillies is an attractive and engaging vixen. She reaches all the right notes as a sexy "Lifetime" TV Movie psycho, without getting too hammy. We almost forget Moses is a multi-millionaire with no facilitated communication. He has great facial and eye movement, but is unable to give any indication something is wrong.***** Killing Daddy (7/5/14) Curtis Crawford ~ Elizabeth Gillies, Cynthia Stevenson, Sebastian Pigott, William R. Moses

Lobke6 When you hear "Nickelodeon's Liz Gillies" it automatically wires your brain to think "horrible acting", which is understandable if you've seen some of the shows they put on their channel. However, in this case you couldn't be more wrong. Gillies' performance is near perfection in Killing Daddy (not unlike any other of her projects i.e. Victorious and Animal). Her acting makes it all seem so real and it really makes you feel what she's feeling- as other people have mentioned in their reviews- especially near the end. Not only is the acting above exceptional, but the plot is everything I've ever dreamed to have been. Killing Daddy is like a fanfiction story come to life, but not the shitty kind like 50 Shades of Grey came to be. It's a story that everyone can become interested in because we love the sick idea of it. It's always been in our imagination, but it's finally come to life. And even better than that, the movie is realistic. While watching, you will not roll your eyes at how "cheesy" or " predictable" it is. There's nothing cheesy nor predictable about it, there were twists and turns here and there, but at the same time they weren't so drastic to make you think it's stupid. If you don't believe me, watch the movie. You won't be disappointed!

Jelly Blossom Killing Daddy is no question my favorite Lifetime movie ever. The intense, dramatic story and the brilliant acting of main character Liz Gillies make this one very special. I love how from the beginning you can see how disturbed main character Callie is, she really is crazy, yet you also fully understand why she feels the way she does about her family. The story is completely about how Callie tries to get revenge on her father and there are whole scenes were she is the only one, I think Callie is in 99% of the scenes. This is very well done by Liz Gillies, who does an extreme good job, very impressive. The end is quite sad, as can be expected from a Lifetime movie but it's yet more prove of Liz Gillies talent that she makes you wish things would have ended better for Callie.

Frederique14 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.
