‘Daddy’s Girl’ Trailer Has a Little Bit of ‘Leatherface’ in the Torture [Exclusive]
Julian Richards (Darklands, The Last Horror Movie, Summer Scars and Shiver) is back with his next horror film, Daddy’s Girl, which will have its World Premiere at the Raindance Film Festival this coming September.
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive first look at the trailer for the film that’s set in the deep south in which a young woman (Zoe) is held captive by her serial killer stepfather after the suicide of her mother. He uses her as bait to lure new victims. While tonally different, it’s thematically similar to that of Leatherface and leads up to a shot of the parent handing off a chainsaw to their sibling.
The cast includes Jemma Dallender (I Spit On Your Grave II), Costas Mandylor (Saw), Britt McKillip (Trick ‘r Treat) and Jesse Moss (Still/Born).

Julia Garner Joins Horror Movie ‘Weapons’ from the Director of ‘Barbarian’
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
