Wissenswertes

Daughter is a 2022 American psychological thriller film written and directed by Corey Deshon in his feature directorial debut. It stars Casper Van Dien, Vivien Ngô, Elyse Dinh, and Ian Alexander. The film follows a young woman who is kidnapped and inducted into a bizarre, isolated family as their new surrogate daughter.

Production

Daughter marked the feature directorial debut of Corey Deshon, who also wrote and produced the film. Deshon wrote the screenplay prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, though the film's themes of isolation and manufactured reality drew later comparisons to the global lockdowns. The Greek film Dogtooth and the thriller 10 Cloverfield Lane were cited as tonal inspirations.

The film was shot on 16mm film to achieve a grainy, timeless aesthetic that Deshon felt complemented the claustrophobic and "eccentric cult" atmosphere of the story. The production was a micro-budget project filmed primarily in a single location to maximize resources.
