Farrah (Nicola Fiore) is a mentally ill former beauty queen who develops an unhealthy passion for convicted serial killer Jackson Miles (Tim Dax). She meets with Miles to get instructions on the best way to kill her family. Mom (Leesa Rowland) is getting remarried and has a relationship with her other daughter (Deborah Das).The film needed better dialogue. Christine Hoberg did a great job as the wedding singer, but the rest of the soundtrack was hit and miss. Lloyd Kaufman managed a cameo as the minister, which always changes the mood whenever he is in the film, serious role or not. The cast was mostly from his former films. The ending, which you expected, took too long to arrive.Guide: F-word. Sex. Nudity (Nicola Fiore, Tim Dax-brief, Danny Morales-butt)

SLAUGHTER DAUGHTER is a bit better than your usual garden variety indie horror film. It has proper characterisation, for one, and if it's still rather cheap and unwieldy, at least it resembles a proper movie more than most. The attempts at character depth means that it's more involving than expected and the story, about a maladjusted young woman who becomes convinced she needs to kill her overbearing mother, is quite interesting. It's still cheap and silly, with unconvincing acting at times, but at least it keeps you watching throughout and the ending is suitably bloody.

With a title like "Slaughter Daughter" you'd probably expect a lot of blood, and you won't be disappointed, but this is far from your usual teen slasher flick, rather it is a disturbing tale of a young woman's madness. Farrah is seriously disturbed; she has a history of doing things to herself she shouldn't, like slicing off one of her fingers and posting it to a serial killer, a truly gruesome scene that. Obviously a bit of poetic licence is needed to visualise how the letter got to him and how she managed to meet him face to face, even if she did know one of guards. His visiting her in her bedroom is unambiguously unreal; it is clear she is delusional as well as a danger to herself, but why does she want to murder her mother, is it just because she is remarrying to a man Farrah does not particularly like, and why must so many others die?This film scores for originality, but those of a nervous disposition should not watch it. Vampires and murderous apparitions may give us a superficial fright or two, but we know they are not real. An attractive young woman you wouldn't give a second glance except for the usual reasons is a different proposition entirely.

I was positive that this was another Ulli Lommel flick, It had all of his signatures: terrible acting, terrible writing, terrible direction, billions of flashbacks,flash forwards, flash everything, obsession with a serial killer, weird actors that could only be in a Lommel flick, a little nudity, and the typical Lommel murder set-pieces. To my surprise, there is actually someone out there who seems to have modeled himself after the 'master'! I don't agree with the thousands of people who give Lommel's films one star; there is some imagination going on in all of Lommel's films, and Slaughter Daughter shows the same type of imagination. The only problem is the general incompetence that truly makes it worthy of the 'master' himself.
