My other watch for Halloween was DADDY'S GIRL (1996), a little-known and unbelievably ripe addition to the psycho-thriller genre. By 1996 the budgets for these films were low and the quality of the scripting even worse, with cliched dialogue and scenarios throughout; the only actor of note they can muster is William Katt (CARRIE, HOUSE), someone always willing to act in B-movies. This one's about a ginger kid called Jody who has such a loving relationship with her father that she bumps off anyone else who threatens that union. It's not gory but the kills are handled violently and the kid even makes Freddy-style wisecracks after each one. Definitely an example of so-bad-it's-good entertainment at times, but in the end it's too cheap to make an impact.
