The film marks the directorial debut of Ant Timpson, whose creative leanings can be easily discerned by the titles of two of his previous producing efforts, The Greasy Strangler and The ABCs of Death. Now comes the supremely weird, hard-to-categorize Come to Daddy, in which Wood delivers the sort of gonzo starring turn that could easily have been turned in by Cage in his younger years. He seems to be emulating Nicolas Cage in his offbeat acting choices, and has even produced two of the actor’s recent films, Mandy and Color Out of Space. Elijah Wood has been forging an interestingly quirky career path since his starring role in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
