In the wake of his father's untimely death, a young boy is left in the eerie solitude of a sprawling country estate with his newly widowed stepmother. Struggling to navigate the overwhelming task of parenthood, his stepmother grows distant, leaving their fragile bond at risk of collapse. Amidst the growing tension, the boy begins to hear unsettling sounds echoing through the corridors, and is soon haunted by the presence of a grotesque creature bearing a disturbingly familiar resemblance to his late father. As the boy's warnings are dismissed as the imagination of a grieving child, the sinister entity tightens its grip on their crumbling lives.

Alison Foreman indieWire Daddy’s Head isn’t likely to stick around as a film that genre fans will revisit often, but as far as haunting and half-baked ghost stories, Shudder subscribers could do worse than this sort-of-good-sort-of-bad pain in the neck. Rated: B Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Phil Hoad Guardian A monster, or the supernatural, as a manifestation of uncontainable emotions is hardly a new idea... Daddy’s Head adopts this increasingly familiar tactic, and just about succeeds in freshening it up. Rated: 3/5 Oct 8, 2024 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Daddy’s Head is handsomely crafted, with a creature design that’s pure nightmare fuel. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 28, 2024 Full Review Elliott Collins Movie Files I wanted more from the storytelling and I wished it had better payoffs and better pacing because after about 45 mins of nothing happening, you start to see the story fall apart. The characters' emotional elements were blatantly one-dimensional. Rated: 2/5 Oct 20, 2024 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Precise and confident in execution, if ambiguous in content, Daddy’s Head is a strikingly atmospheric cipher. Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Jericho Tadeo MovieWeb A slow-burn dance between horror and heart Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Christian K The monster is definitely spooky and well presented and has good performances. The plot is pretty whatever and the scope is barebones but its worth it I think? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Travis M [SPOILERS] When you kill the family dog (which itself is a questionable trope) just to up the stakes for the characters but then can't fully decide if one of the major supporting characters is alive or not at the end, you might want to question "is this script ready?" and "have i really fleshed things out enough?" before making it. Also, someone remind me to watch Babadook again. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review diane S This would have been a stunner of a horror movie had they kept the head pale and blurry because when they began to flesh it out more and give it color it just became silly. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Thirdi A its good in the last 45 minutes but up until that point its a snoozer. I was not expecting Krang from the 90's ninja turtles to be the bad guy but it wasnt enough for me to recommend watching Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Rebecca S I kept waiting for it to get good. It didn't. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Gareth M A slow burn which never pays off, unfortunately. A great concept which is wasted. Some interesting visuals at times but ultimately this is a missed opportunity. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
