RATING: 1.5/5
This Father's Day, we celebrated with the 2009 remake of The Stepfather, with Dylan Walsh of Nip/Tuck fame and Sela Ward.
In this remake, we see a serial daddy who goes from family to family, killing each family then moving on to the next. Dylan Walsh was excellent as the creepy and pissed off Stepfather, who meets and joins the family of a divorced mother, her two boys and daughter. As people begin to question who this mysterious guy is, those people wind up dead, including the neighbor, divorced husband and a nosy lesbian sister.
I would have like to have seen his "fury" come out more than just one time with the kids, we only saw one time where he oversteps his boundaries with one of the kids. The movie lacked intensity and drug on to the last 15 minutes where the new daddy snaps and begins to attack and really, other than the nosey people, no one dies. It was very disappointing and a sad remake on a horror classic.
