Come to Daddy (2019) KILL COUNT

[Music] welcome to the kill count where we tally up the victims in all our favorite horror movies i'm james agenese and in honor of this year's father's day we're looking at come to daddy released in 2019 right off the bat i've got to say that i really recommend you watch this one on your own rarely do you find a movie as surprising and unique as this one while at first it just seems like an offbeat slowly paced indie film with elijah woods sporting an awful haircut it ends up taking so many left turns it does six or seven full laps come to daddy is the directorial debut of producer ant timson a new zealand filmmaker with an awesome name who founded the 48 hours film competition and has produced films like deathgasm and both of the abcs of deaths like i mentioned come to daddy stars elijah wood and if you still only know him as frodo baggins then you must have missed that the dudes become a powerhouse of the horror genre acting in films like the maniac remake and producing plenty more including a girl walks home alone at night and my favorite acid trip revenge flick mandy wood plays a spoiled man boy who's come to see his estranged father for the first time in 30 years and that's all i'm gonna say about it because that's all you should know going in i will let you know that this episode definitely needs a sponsor so boy am i grateful for keeps you know that two out of three dudes will get some form of male pattern baldness by time they're 35 i do because i'm 31 so i'm knocking at that door but i also know that the best way to prevent hair loss is to keep it while you have it which is why keeps exists it's right there in the name keeps offers low prices and easy home deliveries for the only two fda approved hair loss products and you can even visit the doctor online to get your prescription i love not leaving the house especially now you can get 50 off your first order of keeps by going to keeps.com dmj or clicking the link in the description that's keeps.com dmj as in deadmeat james for 50 off your first order of keeps let's see how many people die when a father-son reunion goes wrong and get to the kills [Music] the movie begins with a quote who said that one ha ha willy shakes nice and that one of course beyonce the shakespeare of single ladies in the middle of nowhere oregon a bus drops off a guy named normal greenwood whose commitment to this isaac from the children of the corn cosplay stops at shaving that mustache and at fetching that hat when it blows off his head it's already so far away norvel's following a map to mordor sorry to an isolated beach house in order to rekindle a relationship with his title card or his daddy or his father he's going to meet his father he was summoned here via snail mail the first he's heard from his father in 30 years i got your letter your letter asked me to come and see you well here i am and his craggly dad brian welcomes him in with a hug and some immediately awkward conversation welcome to my house i like it you don't i do why learn how to take a compliment dad god norville unpacks and agrees to take a selfie with his pops using his limited edition real gold phone designed by lord that makes it mighty tragic when brian drops it down into the water below i should never had that second beer for girls yeah man i think just the one for it to be a balanced breakfast bryan is played by stephen mcaddy whose career goes back to 1970. he's worked consistently these past 50 years but horror fans may know him best as the star of pontipool a pretty interesting canadian flick from 2008 as brian and norville catch up we learn that norvel lives with his mom for financial reasons and doesn't drink because of an alcohol dependency that led to a close call with suicide his pops doesn't react with any sympathy to the story and in fact quite insensitively goes full cersei on a goblet of wine right in front of his anxious son brian says he used to be a limo driver who's now a professional alcoholic while norvell humble brags that he works in the music industry do i dj yes do i produce blazing beats yes when brian's not impressed norville name drops elton john birth name reginald as a close personal friend brian says he too is friends with sir reginald having driven his limo for years so he offers to call the rocket man and share this fun coincidence it'll blow his fucking mind are you kidding brian and norville his old pals just happened to be father and son incredible i don't know dad this humiliating bluff works and gets norvel to admit that he doesn't actually know elton john he's just a big old poser brian reveals that he doesn't either but i'm glad we've established that you're full of shit me too i love interesting characters i once accidentally kicked the guy's ear out oh we're making them real interesting here huh the next day as brian has his first breakfast beer norvel asks him why he wrote that beckoning letter in the first place the response isn't what he hoped to hear i gotta take a crap in fact his dad is constantly one big old bag of dudes like what the fuck dad were you trying to kill me just then normal continues to press brian about why he wrote for him to come why he left when norville was five and why he drinks more than a goldfish but brian's too drunk and belligerent to have a heart-to-heart right now what the fuck are you gonna do about it what the fuck are you gonna do about it the two start trading insults norville calls brian a drunk and brian calls norvel a rat fucker wait what do you mean by rat fucker brian you stuff rats up your vagina you know i don't think never mind the altercation grows physical and then like super extra physical as brian takes a meat cleaver and tells norvel the name of this movie right as he grabs norvel's neck though ryan has a heart attack and drops dead on the floor i bet you didn't see that coming huh no not you norvel i'm talking to my audience a shocked norville makes the appropriate calls first to his mother and then to the authorities and the next day a sheriff named ronald plum shows up he questions norvel intently trying to suss out if any foul play was involved but he ends up trusting the man boy because norvel doesn't have raisin eyes which he says are a sure sign of evil doing no raisin eyes here dude elijah's got the biggest grapey eyeballs i've ever seen maybe just offer the man some comfort sheriff i can burp on command if that might cheer you up or you know you could just go i guess next to arrive is the coroner gladys klondikel great names in this movie she tells norvel that she can embalm brian's body but because of a storage issue at the morgue she'll have to bring it back when she's done might sound weird but this actually happened to aunt timson like i said dude was a producer before this movie but when his father tony died in 2018 he was inspired to direct his own film and he took inspiration from the circumstances surrounding his dad's death he got him bombed and then came back for the kids to grieve with the body so i spent five days in a house with his corpse and had a very emotional cathartic experience which was amazing strangers visited his house to pay their respects and timson started wondering what it'd be like if these people and his dad had been involved in some nefarious activities he never knew about way to make the best out of that situation dude norvel and gladys bond a bit in their initial meeting and even more when they have to schlep brian's corpse back up to his house when she goes to leave she suggests that norvel talk to the corpse as a coping mechanism and her kindness touches him right in those big ol blue eyes it's weird for norvel to have his dad's corpse around obviously but it's even weirder that night when he starts hearing noises from the vents oh shit are we about to have a ghost movie on our hands maybe because what else could we make in all that goddamn noise and who else could be calling and not saying anything on the other end ghosts are notorious crank anchors but instead of a ghost maybe the phone call came from this dude outside norville just barely sees while taking a leak he's over there if you missed him pretty hard to spot with possible peeping toms prowling about i don't know if it's a good time for norvel to fall off the wagon but he hasn't been able to sleep at night with all those vent noises so he ends up following in his father's footsteps marching straight towards the bottom of a bottle the booze helps him cope with the noises but not his balance and from his sloppy seat on the floor he calls up gladys the coroner it uh it doesn't go that well just come over you're going through a very difficult time we had something no we didn't i know you felt it too no i didn't rejected and frustrated by the continual noises normal acts on gladys's advice and confronts his dad's dead body he yells at brian for leaving when he was young and also for possibly being a ghost before collapsing and a heap of hyperventilation he wakes up to find brian facing him now but simply rotates the head back and pays it no mind he does pay mind to a little cubby he notices hidden in the wall inside which he finds a box that has keepsakes and a photo album in it are pictures of his mom him as a little boy and his dad wait his dad that guy's his dad but that guy doesn't look like brian right yeah that dude's definitely not brian oh no no no no no no which makes his haunting that much more annoying go hunt your real son dude turns out these noises aren't from a ghost they're coming from beneath the floor as norvel discovers there's a hatch in the living room if you get down there and find a dude working out to mama cass you should probably just let him be norvel despite the potential desmond danger norvel cracks open that safe and heads down with a flashlight to find a man beaten and bloody with his arm chained to the wall no my boy you actually came it's his real dad played by martin donovan and he is actually named brian we'll learn a little later that norvel's faux father was named gordon but we can go ahead and make that correction for the kill count right now great before norvel and real brian can have a proper reunion they hear someone else arriving at the house which cuts the moment short look at me i'm your dad the next 90 seconds is going to change your life forever brian says there's a man coming down here to hurt him so norvel's going to need to murder him with that dumbbell right there now hide son hi the man in question is a guy named jethro played by michael smiley who's in a whole bunch of stuff including the ant timson produced abcs of death and one of the more horror-esque episodes of black mirror white bear jethro's a nasty motherfucker who looks like a retired rocker and who's currently holding a pen covered in i'm sorry extra mint excrement is a scientific word for poo it's excrement not ex i'm gonna stab you with this pen brian yeah he may be thick as a brick but that doesn't make jethro any less dangerous in fact director ant timson says that jethro is quote obsessed with film villains so he's self-aware of his own role as a scoundrel not in like a meta way it's just that being a bad guy is sort of a passion play for jethro after telling brian that he wants some money owed to him jethro stabs him with the poop hand multiple times causing brian to yell for his son to come out swinging that way now fucking kill him fucking kill him this directs jethro's attention to the closet but the ensuing fight between him and norvel is short-lived and i mean kind of pathetic so jethro says fuck this and peace is out up the ladder he shouts down that he'll be back soon with more firepower and they hear him leave which begins a ticking clock dilemma for them to get brian out of captivity he offers to instruct his clueless son how to pick a lock step one smash the shitty pin as norville gets to work ryan gives him a rundown of where he's been these past three decades after leaving norvel's mom he wound up in bangkok with a group of three other criminals jethro gordon and a yet to be seen enforcer named dandy together they kidnapped the daughter of thailand's richest man and brian here ran off with all the extortion money they were supposed to split i guess that explains why he has world's worst friend carved into his chest presumably by jethro brian can't give any of the money back now though because it's all gone he sent it to norbel's mom and it was spent on his spoiled upbringing my entire life has been funded by a kidnapping with time running out brian tells norvel they'll have to dislocate his thumb and index finger so he can get his hand out of these cuffs it's a painful procedure to watch slash listen to and in the end it doesn't even work but then they realize that the chain is very simply hooked onto the wall and that the whole digit dislocation thing was just done in vain uh at least you've still got three digits on that hand dude that's all some sloths need they go upstairs where normal realizes his dad's missing something his ear go ahead and kicked it off yo i heard about that but gordon left out the more lurid detail the part where he made brian eat it he gave me a choice between my own ear or a shot glass of his semen like some kind of a japanese game show or something i chose the year before they leave norvel has to use the bathroom and it's there that he runs into the enforcer dandy and dandy don't like his toilet time interrupted dandy starts beating the shit out of norville as brian yells to his son that he has to fight back now or forever rest in peace normal responds by grabbing a carving fork and stabbing dandy in the war halls more than a dozen bloody times he then uses saran wrap to beat the guy down and to finally murder him first by wrapping his head up nice and tight and then by beating it flat like he's making some chicken piccata damn haven't seen a kitchen set beat down this intense since that shitty black christmas remake no not the the new shitty black christmas remake the other shitty black christmas remain normal is once again shocked out of his senses and unlike his fake dad gordon his real dad brian at least begins to offer some comfort but the words don't come to him and they've got to get out of here so norvel helps his dad down to the road outside his house they have to hide when they hear a car arriving it's vinnie or it's jethro he's returned with a flaming cross though because this is war child aunt timson and writer toby harvard who also wrote a segment in the second abcs of death as well as the elijah wood produced the greasy strangler decided to give jethro a crossbow because they think guns are boring in horror movies i agree as jethro heads into the house norvel remembers that his home address is on a luggage tag inside his worst nightmare comes true when jethro steps outside and yells from the bottom of his aqualungs that he's gonna go to the address on the luggage tag and kill whomever he finds there which would be norvel's mom brian's solution is simple norvel's gonna have to kill jethro i'm not a murderer you just killed somebody literally five minutes ago brian can't do it himself since his hands all busted up so norvel hides in jethro's trunk hoping to get the jump on him when the opportunity presents itself he rides in the car until jethro parks at a motel at which point norvel hops out and tries to rent a neighboring room to do the deed only problem is this place is all booked up because there's a geologist swingers convention in town i shit you not i have a whole hotel full of flabby sex people just doing whatever they do norville makes up a story about a woman with big boobs outside which distracts the clerk long enough for him to steal some keys a map and a receipt spindle after stabbing out jethro's tires with the receipt spindle norville goes to enter his room only to find the door chain shot that sends him next door where he has to sneak around quietly lest he wait the four slumbering swingers passed out inside one of them straight hanging dawn he walks through hell and condoms to get to the connecting door but a misstep turns the tv on and forces him to act fast as the nudies have a rooty awakening norvell gets into jethro's room where he finds him with a sex worker named precious she's into the rough play so she grabs normal and holds him as jethro brags about going to norvle's house and killing his mom so do you have any message for your mommy tell her i'm gonna specifically tell her that you don't love her damn that's cold jethro he picks up the receipt spindle and stabs norvel in the side with it two or three times before jamming it through his cheek precious grows concerned that she just became an accessory to murder but jethro ain't got time to worry about her he's gotta make a ball or exit i'm out of here like vladimir he goes to his car and puts norvel's address into the gps so he can go make good on that promise to kill his mom i got that california bitch gonna kill your mama and leave her in a ditch that song which is hilarious to me was an ad-lib from michael smiley dude improvised a lot of his lines and even provided the nasty fake teeth he wears his sense of humor comes from a background in standup which is also the name of another jethro tall album so add it to all the references i've been making to those in the motel room norvell comes too and stumbles out just in time to see jethro driving off with his beat ass tires how far is he gonna get with them beat ass tires i guess not far norvel stumbles down the block to find jethro's car crashed into a burger joint sign which is currently pointing straight through the windshield and the seat that once held jethro norvell retrieves his luggage tag and sees jethro slowly plodding down the street he catches up to him and finds him missing a good portion of his jet throw skull thanks to that sign the criminal tells norvel that his mom is a sex worker and that he once had relations with her what do you got to say about that norvel sir and with that jet throws down and out the toll of all that acute brain damage finally killing him once and for all as norvel leaves his corpse avril 14th by aphex twin starts playing which is kind of an in-joke since afx also has a song called come to daddy watch the music video for it if you want to see some creepy ass kids running around norvel continues his way back to brian's house as a voice over from his dad reads the letter that brought him there in the first place in it brian says he'd like to be a better dad and that's nice norville gets back to the beach where he left his dad and joins him for a plop down in front of a log together they bleed out suffer from pooping infections but i'm not gonna put them on the kill count since the movie ends with both of them still just barely moving and no guarantee that either one died how many people died during this disaster of a daddy reunion only one way to find out come to the numbers ah man this shirt has green on it doesn't it only three people died for sure income to daddy and since they were all three of them dudes it gave us a mealy mail pie chart for this father's day kill count with a run time of 96 minutes that left us with a kill on average every 32 minutes i'll give the golden chainsaw for coolest kill to jethro yeah dandy's was more violent but i love the exposed brain we see as jethro's walking down the road and the vocal result of his misfiring brain cells arthur is actually a little disturbing which is great dull machete for less kill goes to gordon and his heart attack don't think i need to defend that one and that's it come to daddy came out in 2019 the latest of elijah wood's work in the horror genre would love to have that dude on the podcast one day until next time i'm james agenese this has been the kill count thanks a lot for watching this killcow i want to thank some patrons like jack daley alex rein michael garcia harry aka dead funnyman official sean thomason derek jones and what's in the sugar bowl sugar i hope happy father's day to my dad jim janiece his stephen king obsession got me hooked from an early age thanks everyone be good people

James's shirt needs to be hanged and framed. That is glorious.

If there's one thing I like more than BONUS Kill Counts it's bonus Kill Counts full of Prog Rock references.

[u/Dr_Blasphemy]

So I watched the movie before watching the kill count and does anyone know why Jethro said "Arthur" when he died? I've been trying to find out why online but there's no articles on it or an explanation
