Daddy's Head Ratings & Reviews
Loud and Clear Reviews
Emma Vine
Though Daddy's Head results in a clichéd conclusion, the film's haunting creature design makes it worth the watch.
Sunshine State Cineplex
Joshua Ryan
Despite the cast's strong efforts and innovative creature design, the film is bogged down by the recycled elements of its overly familiar script.
The Cinema Spot
John Daniel Tangalin
Despite being a horror film, the narrative doesn't require a body count to carry it but rather showcases its themes through a story of belief and family matters.
Geek Vibes Nation
Codie Allen
Daddy's Head transcends traditional horror; it explores the human experience in the face of profound loss.
MaitlandOnMovies (Substack)
Maitland McDonagh
Though not based on an H.P. Lovecraft story - trust me; I have the library - writer-director [Benjamin] Barfoot's movie is deeply Lovecraftian. It's rooted in bred-in-the-bone horror at just how gross and unpredictable the human body can be....
Common Sense Media
Jose Solís
Despite its terrible title, this is an elegant horror flick with unexpected twists and turns.
Big Gold Belt Media
Xero Gravity
"This film makes me want to jump out of my skin. It's one part creature feature, and one part home invasion, thrown together and solidified with the glue of familial trauma and grief. It's really messed up"
Cinema Crazed
Emilie Black
Yes, there are a few creepy, spooky scenes, but they are not enough to save the film from itself.
IndieWire
Alison Foreman
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.
Jordy Reviews It
Jordy Sirkin
A captivating yet delicately paced story about grief, featuring unsettling visuals and a grotesque, nightmare-inducing creature.

Daddy's Head is like The Babadook for step-parents. I enjoyed the look at the anxiety and uncertainty at play with someone stepping into a role of a parent. The creature design and scares were effectively creepy.
B-Sides & Badlands
Bee Delores
Daddy's Head packs in plenty of frights so you can better understand grief and how it operates within and without the body. It's never easy to swallow, and Barfoot's story makes it make sense.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
a modern day folk horror examination of grief and longing…despite its bizarre creature concept, it's not very scary and ultimately unsatisfying.
The Blogging Banshee
Molly Henery
Daddy's Head uses a nightmarish creature to tell a terrifying tale of the many stages of grief.
Daily Dead
Matt Donato
Barfoot excels when unleashing his monster's creepiest attacks, but the story tends to trudge forward without feeling complete. Your patience for whimsical, ungraspable horrors will be tested - unless that's entirely your vibe.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
Daddy's Head is handsomely crafted, with a creature design that's pure nightmare fuel.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Echoes of Folk Horror, "The Babadook," and even "Under the Skin" weave through Benjamin Barfoot's chilling study of the denial that often unfolds after the sudden loss of a loved one.
Guy at the Movies
Jeff Nelson
Daddy's Head offers plenty of spooky atmosphere and imagery, even though it doesn't really do enough to color outside the lines of The Babadook.
ComicBook.com
Spencer Perry
As far as derivatives of Jennifer Kent's The Babadook go, there have been worse, but this one doesn't do enough to stand apart from the other films that have tried to ape that movie's success, either.
DarkSkyLady Reviews
DarkSkyLady
Daddy's Head might falter in its conclusion in the rush to tie everything into a neat bow; however, it is a creepy and downright scary addition to the horror genre and spooky season.
