Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

atinder The first movie was great, the plot and the movie flowed really well and the ending was classic.Its a shame that ending was lie to make room for this bland Sequel.This movie was very bland from start to end, it takes to long to get going, it's plots was way to slow for the movie.The ending was the only decent part, Which dose not make up for very long drawn out plot, we seen again, with nothing new added and less action then first movie. The the movie very dull and bland, The ending was good however it's like they also had enough and lets just rush the ending.There were some bloody moment and okay acting, Even John Lock looked a bit bored in some part of this movie. His good playing a really good psycho4 out of 10

Koosh_King01 Despite seeming to be quite dead after being stabbed in the chest and taking a tumble down some stairs at the end of the first film, the titular stepfather, still using his most recent name "Jerry Blake," is incarcerated in an insane asylum. Needless to say, it isn't long before he escapes, murdering his psychiatrist in the process.The stepfather soon moves to California where he starts a new life for himself, and begins searching anew for his perfect family. Posing as a psychiatrist named Gene Clifford, the stepfather begins a romance with Carol Grayland, the real estate agent who sole him his new house. Carol is a recent divorcée with one son, Todd. Ideal for "Gene" to begin setting himself up as husband to Carol and stepfather to Todd.Everything is going swimmingly for Gene until Carol's ex-husband Phil returns and starts trying to get back with her, threatening to edge Gene out. In the meantime, Carol's friend Maddy is suspicious of Gene. She doesn't believe he's actually a psychiatrist, and begins trying to dig up his past. Things being unraveling quickly for him, all headed towards the inevitable disastrous, blood-drenched climax.This was a completely unnecessary (and theoretically impossible!) sequel. Fortunately, it's also quite good, thanks to a fairly good story and of course the acting. Terry O'Quinn returns as Jerry/Gene and delivers the same strong, terrifying-yet-sympathetic performance he did before, and Meg Foster and her gorgeous eyes as Carol is the other half of this doomed romance.

Scarecrow-88 Terry O'Quinn reprises his role as the psychopath searching for the perfect family and willing to kill anyone who stands in his way. The first was more of a thriller while Jeff Burr's sequel is more or less a violent slasher film. Escaping from prison thanks to ridiculous means(..a psychiatrist wanting to help "rehabilitate" him, allows O'Quinn to meet with him, absent handcuffs, with the security guard waiting outside!It was an issue of trust, and O'Quinn saw fit to take advantage of such foolishness), O'Quinn uproots in a nice suburban neighborhood assuming the identity of a shrink, soon bewitching a real estate agent and her son(Meg Foster and Jonathan Brandis). Foster's husband, played by Mitchell Laurance, a dentist, took off with his receptionist and attempts to re-enter her life to the chagrin of O'Quinn. Also disrupting matters is Foster's gal pal, Caroline Williams, a postal worker who senses something's wrong about Mr. Right. Will O'Quinn allow certain people to interfere with his plans of betrothal? Or, will he solve such complications through violent means? Burr's direction is just as flashy and colorful as ever, attempting to better rather mediocre material. The movie is as predictable as they come, helped somewhat by a solid cast. Caroline Williams(..best known in Tobe Hooper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre II)has a substantial role as Foster's snooping best friend, and pays a heavy price for attempting to protect her from O'Quinn. Foster and Brandis have rather thankless roles here, more or less servicing the plot as potential victims-in-the-making. This is O'Quinn and Williams' show all the way, and Terry capitalizes on the many nuances of his character, trying to develop him despite a plot which would wish to have him just murder people like some soulless madman. Amusing use of the tune "Camptown Races", whistled, and how it plays in the undoing of O'Quinn.

Backlash007 ~Spoiler~ Sequel king, Jeff Burr, takes over the reigns for The Stepfather 2. The original stepfather is an underrated horror/thriller thanks in all parts to a terrific performance by Terry O'Quinn. Stepfather 2 is almost the exact same movie, but with all the surprises gone. It also lacks the believability of the first movie. First off, we're asked to believe that the Stepfather survived the events of the last film's finale. Stabbed through the chest and shot twice...right. Anyway, he now resides in an asylum where a psychiatrist is trying to unravel his thought process and motivations. This is the most interesting area of the movie. Unfortunately, it doesn't last long. He's too soon back in the suburbs leading a women's support group and looking for potential wives. Did any of these women bother to check his credentials? We're also asked to believe that the Stepfather is a master criminal, yet does the DUMBEST things to get himself into trouble. The supporting cast around O'Quinn is as good as the original. This time we have Meg Foster as the new target and Jonathan Brandis is playing her son. Caroline Williams (Stretch from Texas Chainsaw 2) is quite good as the nosey neighbor. If you enjoyed The Stepfather and want to see more of the character, this is for you. However, I implore you not to waste your time with Part 3.
