I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I wonder if the original version starring Terry O'Quinn was any good but this remake was pretty weak, I’m afraid.

Awesome movie, never seen the original version of it, but Dylan Walsh played the part very well. The ending was completely unexpected. I'm glad it wasn't a typical serial killer movie, where they always kill the guy in the end though. It makes it stand out from the others.

View all The Stepfather reviews

Michael Harding (Penn Badgley) returns home from military school to find his mother (Sela Ward) happily in love and living with her new boyfriend, David (Dylan Walsh). As the two men get to know each other, Michael becomes more and more suspicious of the man who is always there with a helpful hand. Is he really the man of her dreams or could David be hiding a dark side?

“I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I wonder if the original version starring Terry O'Quinn was any good but this remake was pretty weak, I’m afraid. Basically, it was supposed to be a rather creepy movie about some rather creepy guy but, to be honest, I wasn’t impressed by the end-result, in fact, far from it. The first issue was that Dylan Walsh was never charismatic enough when he was acting like a ‘good’ guy and he was never threatening enough when he was going full psycho. Another problem was that nothing much really happened through the damned thing. As a result, to fill up the running time, they apparently made the rather weird decision to add so many scenes possible involving Amber He” read more
