New Release Review - "Daddy's Head"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2024-10-16

When I tell you Daddy's Head is a horror movie about a young boy left to live with his stepmother when his father dies as a result of a car accident, you'll probably jump to your own conclusions. Stepmothers have gotten a particularly bad rap in fiction over the centuries, so much so that the noun is more often than not prefaced by "wicked." As such, you probably think this is another story of an evil stepmother trying to get rid of the burden of the kid she's been saddled with, and you might even suspect that she was responsible for her husband's death. But writer/director Benjamin Barfoot subverts all our ingrained expectations of stepmother figures in fiction by presenting us with one who is very much the protagonist rather than the antagonist.
