So, i'm compelled to write my opinion because i think there are too many fake reviews about this one. I love horror movies, it is my go- to genre when i need pure entertainment since i was a kid, literally 12/13 years old and with my mates, we would gather and watch splatters or slashers. Through the years, my tastes changed - my favorites are the so called "folk horrors" or the ones involving paranormal/mystery - a river of blood and guts doesn't make the movie scarier and a good suspense is hundreds times more effective. This one if far from being the best movie from Australia, actually Australia has a pretty healthy production of horror movies lately! So don't pay attention to those comments here saying it's innovative or a game-changer by all means. It is a very basic revenge-horror with very graphic torture scenes, borderline with splatter. I have to say the special effects are really good here, so if this for you could be a plus, you need to watch it! For me they are important but there must be a good story behind it. The acting is very poor, usually i don't complain but the actor playing Colin is really bad (i feel sorry for saying that, probably he's a good chap)... and sometimes the dialogs are so silly! I also hate how the killer is discovered, it's all so random that i had a hard time believing it was all that simple ... because until that moment, the construction wasn't awful. I just discovered i recently watched the second movie made by Daddy's Little Girl's director Chris Sun - it's called Charlie's Family and it's way way way better!

Prior to seeing this I'd taken into account that many of the positive reviews on here may have stemmed from people doing the director a favour, and knowing that he has a large following on Facebook it didn't surprise me. But I wanted to check the movie out for myself and make up my own mind, especially since learning more about Chris Sun of late. I now truly believe that the positive reviews are completely fabricated, as there is just no way anyone could possibly believe this movie is worth more than a 5/10 at best.Everything I just read about how bad the acting was is totally true. I didn't believe in a single character, which left me devoid of any emotional attachment. This resulted in me having no desire to see the killer get what was coming to them, which is essential in a revenge flick. I usually love seeing the bad guys get what they deserve in movies, but this time around I just didn't care.The plot had too many holes, especially how the killer is revealed. Completely implausible. If I were doing something so despicable there's no way in hell I'd leave evidence lying around where anyone could find it. It would be more believable if the culprit were severely mentally ill and incapable of thinking rationally, but in this instance he was just a boring, regular guy.I haven't been excited about Charlie's Farm, being that it looks like a derivative slasher flick that I've seen 100 times before and proudly boasts Sharknado's Tara Reid as a star. I was hoping that watching DLG might boost my eagerness, but now I'm even less enthusiastic about it.Still, it gives us filmmakers hope that you can still achieve success by churning out utter crap. All you need to do is somehow trick the public into believing that your arrogance towards people and high self-opinion is charming.

In it's starting, you really think you're in for a good quality drama, which later, sadly, gives way to some of the most tortuous, hard to stomach violence, I've seen, there's a lot. But don't get me wrong, on the other side of that token, the culprit in question, which becomes a devastating blow of shock, as being family, where in the back of mind here and there, I suspected him, deserves everything he gets. This movie opens your eyes to a lot of things, about how precious children are. Shot in Queensland, this film, worse than any horror movie, I must say, suffers from a bad script and mostly laughable overacting, unconvincing, but embarrassing too, although the three leads are genuinely quite good, especially the father. When acted at the start by these three, it was more naturalistic acting that really worked. A father who's baby girl is snatched, stumbles onto the truth while at the party of the younger brother, where in the previous six months, he's dealt with the grief and unbearable pangs of heartache, after losing his little angel. Blaming the wife for not properly fixing the window, I'm on his side, where watching this film, I really hope that this a pre warning to parents out there to ensure little jobs like this are dealt with. The killer too has kept a sick diary of horrid details, not just about killing his niece, but other little kids too. When the torture starts, let me warn you, it's very graphic, if underestimated, much like the victims of the Asian torture porn flick, Grotesque, as so what's left of the state of this victim too. There's very funny moments too, which this avenging father, during torture session, 101, thanks to some of the dialogue, which I must say is pretty ordinary, if stereotyped. Watching just how much pain, this poor ba..ard, endures, had me wondering what that really feel like. How much pain, can a guy endure, and let me tell me tell you, he does a lot of squirming. The plucking out tooth scene, had me licking my teeth to confirm if I still had em', it was the most unbearably visual moment. Daddy's Little Girl shows a lot of promise early, but in it's neat hour, it's resorts to such sick and reprehensible violence, to illustrate the points and consequences of about being a child murderer and paedophile, where real justice even though excessive, in my opinion, is warranted and truly justified, where many of the film's viewers who have kids will feel that way, too.

Please note that I rate very genre-specific movies like this one only in comparison with others in the same genre. I watched this movie despite some of the very negative reviews here and I'm glad I did. As a big fan of the genre, i.e. torture porn, what I wanted from this movie were visceral, gory and disturbing scenes, and this movie certainly did not disappoint. The story is good enough to support the premise and the acting is certainly better than in some of its genre classics (e.g. Hostel, some of the Saw movies etc.). What blew me away were the special effects that showed in graphic detail some of the very imaginative torture techniques. These are certainly some of the best I've seen. However, they did not make me cringe, like some other films did (Martyrs, Woman), and I gave it only an 8. If you don't like torture porn, this movie is not for you. If you do however, this one's worth your time.
