Trailer—Daddy's Deadly Darling

Daddy's Deadly Darling

Young woman who was committed to a mental institution after killing her father when he tried to rape her, breaks free and ends up in a small town where she takes up with an older farmer who has pigs that like to eat human flesh. Lurid, at time uncomfortably so, film about the weird things that weird people do. I'm not sure what to think about the film. It's a strange little film that seems to be strange for strange's sake. I was watching the film and thought a good amount of the film had run only to find that it had only been about 30 minutes. Its creepy because of the odd people involved. What do I think of it? Its okay. A bit odder than I wanted for the late night viewing. I'm curious why this was paired with the Rock Hudson Embryo on the DVD I had since other than being horror films they have little in common. Going from one to the other made for a weird segue. Worth a look for anyone who wants to see off beat horror films, anyone else should probably look elsewhere

Lynn Webster (Toni Lawrence, Marc's real-life daughter) is sent to an asylum for shock therapy after killing her father when he tried to rape her. She escapes, steals a car and ends up in a small farming town where weird truck stop owner Mr. Zambrini (Marc Lawrence) gives her a waitress job for room and board. The relationship ends up working out nicely for both -- Lynn goes on a killing spree after almost getting raped again, while Zambrini covers her ass by hacking up the bodies and feeding them to his flesh-craving pet pigs he keeps pinned up behind the restaurant. Familiar character actor Marc Lawrence made his directorial debut (and as 'F.A. Foss,' also his screenplay debut) with this very cheap and dark-looking, but fairly well-acted and sometimes creepy, low-budget backwoods horror flick. It laid unreleased for about 12 years, but I've seen worse.

Lynn(Toni Lawrence-the daughter of Marc Lawrence)stabbed her father to death after he raped her.She believes that her daddy is still alive.She escapes from the asylum-stealing a car she flees into backwoods America,ending up at Zambrini's roadside diner.Zambrini(Marc Lawrence) has twelve pigs-he butchers people to feed his animals!"Daddy's Deadly Darling"/"Pigs" is another overlooked classic from early 70's.The script is wonderfully bizarre,the acting is pretty good and there is a bit of gore.The photography is grainy,even ugly looking at times-the film actually reminds me "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre","Last House on the Left" or "Eaten Alive".Some scenes are pretty creepy,so if you like horror movies give this little gem a look!
