She's new to San Francisco and a bit lonely. Maybe that’s why Cathy Palmer (Carol White) is vulnerable to Kenneth (Scott Hylands), a playful, boyishly handsome stranger about to plunge her into a living nightmare.
Cathy falls in and out of love with Kenneth, then begins life anew with another man (Paul Burke) whom she marries. But Kenneth isn’t over Cathy: he stalks her—and kidnaps her newborn child.
Veteran director Mark Robson recaptures the raw-edged intensity he displayed in the Val Lewton thrillers he helmed in the 1940s. Working from a taut script by top thriller specialists Larry Cohen and Lorenzo Semple Jr., Robson layers scene after scene with disquieting dread.
Daddy’s Gone A-Hunting taps into the real fear of a mistake coming back to haunt us—and delivers the nerve-wracking excitement suspense fans are always hunting.
