MT's Rating of The Stepfather : 4 out of 10
When a teenage boy (Penn Badgley) begins to suspect that his new stepfather (Dylan Walsh) is a notorious serial killer who preys on broken families, he races to gather the evidence that will back up his radical claim before it's too late. The 1987 thriller that shot Lost starTerry O'Quinn to cult stardom serves as inspiration for this remake penned by J.S. Cardoneand directed by Nelson McCormick. Sela Ward, Jon Tenney, and Amber Heard co-star in a Screen Gems release.
MovieTradition gives The Stepfather a 4 out of 10. This is just your average predictable serial killer film based for more of a teen audience. The entire film was easily predictable - many of the audience members were talking to the screen with remarks like "Yeah, they are about to die..." and what do you know? They did. MovieTradition doesn't recommend this film for anyone but those of you who have seen everything else in theaters and are just looking for a little down time. There are a lot of better films in theaters right now to spend your money on... so don't waste your money on this one.
