This tepid remake of the 1987 cult classic lacks the tension and satirical undercurrents of the original.

The genre has diverged into two paths: the brutally gruesome and the suspenseful. This is going for the latter, which would have been fine if it were in fact thrilling. August 12, 2010 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

There's mayhem all over the place and not a policeman, or much logic, in sight. Watchable nonsense, with performances better than the story deserves. December 11, 2009 | Rating: 2/5

Cliché-ridden and full of plot-holes.
Not so much a contemporary re-make of Joseph Ruben's 1987 psychological thriller as a lobotomised bastard step-child: over-plotted, over-long, and stripped of the original's sharp, satirical subversion of suburban family values. December 11, 2009 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

If the movie's attic-bound climax is a little predictable and the plot holes rather gaping, The Stepfather, unlike many of its more prestigious A-class competitors, is never less than entertaining. December 11, 2009 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Walsh's performance as David is so limp that it's difficult to imagine David outwitting any of his victims in the film. September 24, 2020 | Rating: 1.0/4.0 | Full Review…

What a shame that the remake fell into the unwieldy hands of the same jokers responsible for last year's execrable Prom Night redo. February 15, 2013 | Rating: .5/5 | Full Review…

Any subtlety or implicit social satire to be found in Joseph Ruben's original went out with the last neighborhood trash pickup. Too bad the service was canceled before it could haul away this waste-of-time remake. [Blu-ray] February 15, 2010 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

The Stepfather is full of unintentional laughs, shameless plot contrivances and cheap scare tactics, but this adds to the fun once you've tapped into the risible nature of the production. December 11, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
