The movie I watched today was “The Stepfather.” The movie is basically about a man named David Harris (played by Dylan Walsh) who jumps from family to family by seducing divorced women into thinking he is perfect. If the family he is in does not measure up to his standards he kills them and moves on to another family. I thought the way the movie started with him changing his appearance after he murdered his previous family was good at getting my attention. After that I slowly started to lose interest. The son of the new family Harris has sunken his hooks into, starts to figure out what Harris is hiding. In the end, after this fight between Harris and the son, Harris gets away and eludes the police. The movie overall was not that great. The story seems to have everything it needs to be one of those thrillers that leaves you speechless but it fell short in the end. It is a movie that I would watch on a rainy day when there is nothing to do. I have notice that this movie is a remake of a 1987 movie and I hope that one is better than this one was.
*I give “The Stepfather” a 5.5 out of 10*
This movie is a prime example of how women are portrayed as easily fooled and naive individuals. Although, in some real life cases, this may be true, it's still pretty irritating to see it constantly on film. Anyway, this movie looked really stupid to me from the start. I commend you for being able to sit through it without either falling asleep or just turning it off mid-way. Maybe it was good for a few laughs? I highly doubt the '87 film is any better. Trust me, 80's horror films are usually just as bad if not worse in comparison to those released today. Your rating just helped me confirm that watching this will only lead to disappointment. Thanks for saving me the trouble of watching this! If my sister ends up trying to make me watch it, I'll be able to spoil it for her. >:D
