Slaughter Daughter (2012)

good back-story, and good acting

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

There is something to be said for classic, scary cult films. It's an acquired taste and and can become an addiction. And, behind every memorable horror film is a fantastic leading lady. In this case, it is the beautiful actress Leesa Rowland who lights up the scream screen.Loyal fans who love these types of movies will truly enjoy Slaughter Daughter.

Farrah (Nicola Fiore) is a mentally ill former beauty queen who develops an unhealthy passion for convicted serial killer Jackson Miles (Tim Dax). She meets with Miles to get instructions on the best way to kill her family. Mom (Leesa Rowland) is getting remarried and has a relationship with her other daughter (Deborah Das).The film needed better dialogue. Christine Hoberg did a great job as the wedding singer, but the rest of the soundtrack was hit and miss. Lloyd Kaufman managed a cameo as the minister, which always changes the mood whenever he is in the film, serious role or not. The cast was mostly from his former films. The ending, which you expected, took too long to arrive.Guide: F-word. Sex. Nudity (Nicola Fiore, Tim Dax-brief, Danny Morales-butt)

I was positive that this was another Ulli Lommel flick, It had all of his signatures: terrible acting, terrible writing, terrible direction, billions of flashbacks,flash forwards, flash everything, obsession with a serial killer, weird actors that could only be in a Lommel flick, a little nudity, and the typical Lommel murder set-pieces. To my surprise, there is actually someone out there who seems to have modeled himself after the 'master'! I don't agree with the thousands of people who give Lommel's films one star; there is some imagination going on in all of Lommel's films, and Slaughter Daughter shows the same type of imagination. The only problem is the general incompetence that truly makes it worthy of the 'master' himself.

I'm a huge fan of any movie featuring killer females. Almost any, except this one did not keep my attention. I feel both Nicola Fiora and Leesa Rowland are decent actresses and did a good job but due to the unfocused poorly structured script there performances are lost in the muck.And most of the supporting cast can't act so that doesn't help.More blood and nudity might have helped the many boring parts. I fast forwarded through 50% of this movie. By the middle it's hard to keep focused on something that feels like watching paint dry. Overuse of colored gels and costume and makeup that feels like a high school play production. Cool name, cool idea but does not pan out.
