The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Former beauty queens can be hell to deal with and when one plots the death of her own bullying mother things get serious. Add in a serial killer, and the viewer is in for a ride. Leesa Rowland is excellent as Phyllis Adjani and always fun to watch. Of all the versions of this movie, this is my favorite.

With a title like "Slaughter Daughter" you'd probably expect a lot of blood, and you won't be disappointed, but this is far from your usual teen slasher flick, rather it is a disturbing tale of a young woman's madness. Farrah is seriously disturbed; she has a history of doing things to herself she shouldn't, like slicing off one of her fingers and posting it to a serial killer, a truly gruesome scene that. Obviously a bit of poetic licence is needed to visualise how the letter got to him and how she managed to meet him face to face, even if she did know one of guards. His visiting her in her bedroom is unambiguously unreal; it is clear she is delusional as well as a danger to herself, but why does she want to murder her mother, is it just because she is remarrying to a man Farrah does not particularly like, and why must so many others die?This film scores for originality, but those of a nervous disposition should not watch it. Vampires and murderous apparitions may give us a superficial fright or two, but we know they are not real. An attractive young woman you wouldn't give a second glance except for the usual reasons is a different proposition entirely.

I saw Slaughter Daughter today and my following review will contain minor spoilers throughout.Farrah who is a young twenty something former beauty queen has been dumped at the altar on her wedding day, understandably upset although she reacts more neurotically to the situation than most people would have. After she spends some time in an asylum to recover she is released and comes back home to live with her materialistic mother Phyllis and accepting aunt Reema. It is clear that Farrah is unwanted by her mother who regularly patronizes and insults her. Farrah becomes obsessed with a serial killer serving time in prison and plans to follow in his ways especially when she finds out her mother is getting married again.When her brother,his girlfriend and her step father to be arrive for the wedding celebrations things take a more disturbing and violent turn, climaxing with Farrah extracting her revenge during the reception in order to her goals into perspective. Will Farrah succeed in becoming the perfect killer? Will Farrah and her mother resolve their bitter and ongoing feud?I thought the main actress Nicola Fiore did a good job as her character Farrah in the film which i felt suited her role and Leesa Rowland as her mother Phyllis was interesting to watch with her one liners and selfishness. Some scenes and dialouge i found to be a little over the top at times although considering this is a horror film could see it as being humorous or even intentional.I also watched the extra features for the film including the webisodes about Farrah's times in the asylum which help explain her character in more depth and a few deleted scenes which further explain her mother's motives which to be honest i could tell very quickly when watching the film.I would give this film 6 out of 10.

I saw this film for the very first time when I was at Spooky Empire and they had this film playing at their Oct 2012 Freakshow Horror Film Festival. I really did like this film and thought everyone did a great job in it. I was really very impressed with Nicola's performance in this film. She can truly pull off a wicked lady when she needs to. For an indie film I would have to say, this is a must see for everyone into horror. It was really great to actually meet some of the cast from the film as well after the showing. The film won 2 awards that night!!! I have to say they all really pulled it off. Way to go to everyone involved..you guys ROCKED IT!!!! Everyone that hasn't seen this film yet, should for sure put it on your list of indie films to watch.
