Exclusive ‘Come To Daddy’ Clip: Elijah Wood Struggles To Connect With His Father
If it seems like you haven’t seenElijah Woodmuch over the past decade, that’s because he’s mostly been keeping busy offscreen. In addition to doing voiceover work for animated projects likeTRON Uprising, Over the Garden WallandStar WarsResistance, he’s been working tirelessly as a producer. You may have also seen him popping up occasionally in more low-key thrillers, comedies and horror movies in the indie world. And another one of them arrives this weekend.
Come to Daddyfinds Elijah Wood playing a timid, privileged hipster-type who is looking to reconnect with his estranged father (Stephen McHattie) after receiving a letter inviting him for a visit in his father’s remote cabin home. However, upon his arrival, the welcome he receives is less than warm, and he starts to wonder exactly why he’s there to begin with. /Film has an exclusiveCome to Daddyclip you can watch below, which features Wood feeling rather uncomfortable while his father doesn’t seem to care.
Come to Daddy Clip
Come to Daddyhas been making the festival rounds since last year at SITGES, Frightfest, The Overlook Film Festival, and Tribeca. The latter festival is where our contributing writer Caroline Cao caught the film, andin her review, she teased the secrets at the center of the bloody thriller without giving anything away:
Though the above clip leans more into the drama of this father-son reunion, our review does point out there is a “twisted blend of comedy and horror.” So it’s not all suspense and bloodshed, even though the trailer promises plenty of that too (watch it over here). It certainly looks like an entertaining thriller with plenty of twists and turns along the way.
