“Face it, any film entitled “Slaughter Daughter” isn’t out to delight you with creative narrative. It’s Campbell’s execution of this escalating descent into madness that keeps the piece above water when the sometimes questionable performances and generic quality of the screenplay threaten to sink it. He weaves fantasy sequences and hallucinations seamlessly into the story’s flimsy fabric, creating another world out of the New Jersey location on a mere $15,000 budget. That’s no small feat.” Robert Getz, HorrorNews.net

“The film hinges on the decision as to whether Farrah decides to go through with her master plan to annihilate her family or not. The decision is as dark as the rest of Farrah’s fantasies and maintains the darkly comic tone which takes place from the start. The use of old Italian giallo music makes this film utterly unique, making everything seem overly operatic and serious, yet typical for a young schoolgirl’s idealistic viewpoint of the world. If you’re a John Waters and Greg Araki fan, SLAUIGHTER DAUGHTER is going to be right up your alley. Like the films of those directors, it shines a light on alternative and deviant cultures that rarely get the spotlight in bigger budgeted movies.” Ambush Bug, Ain’t It Cool News
“The special effects are not something I would call phenomenal or truly amazing but they do fit the film and the kills we get on camera. Overall, Slaughter Daughter is a film with a great story but fell apart during production. I recommend it to watch at least once but it has no replay value.” Blacktooth, Horror Society
