The Stepfather

Review:     3 Stars

Right from the start you know that David Harris (The Killer) starring Dylan Walsh is not a man to be trusted or even shake hands with.  As the movie gets deeper you come to realize that David is not just a killer but also suffers from various mental issues.  The Stepfather is a remake of the original 1987 film which stared Terry O’ Quinn.

Much smarter than I expected but lacked suspense and had very few ‘Jump’ scenes.  The characters were portrayed as (mostly) true to life,  smart and good realistic thinking when trying to rationalize their suspicions around David.  As a thriller it’s a bit on the dull side, I did however love the ending of this movie, it’s not what you’d expect.

Despite the great ending, the movie desperately needed some good scare scenes and the suspenses was like riding a roller-coaster at 1/2 speed. It was an OK film but  defiantly a renter.
