"First viewing - May 8th Decided to fill in one of my blindspots in Horror by finally watching The Stepfather. And it's a solid flick. Terry O'Quinn is really good in his role, and the story that unfolds is an interesting one. There's nothing here that elevates it to greatness, but it's a solid if average little horror movie and I'm glad I finally caught up with it."

" Whatever you do, step far away from the remake and pretend it doesn't exist. Just watch this one because it's a great horror movie that has a great performance from Terry O'Quinn and works as a horror movie and on a story-telling standpoint. This one deserves to be remembered while the remake deserves to be forgotten."

Moviewatcher122's 2016 Film Diary: March (43 movies items)

"March 27 "I wanna ask you something. Are you interested in buying a house... Or are you interested in me?" This movie is much, much better than the shitty remake. Unlike the remake this movie is actually scary as it has a great performance from Terry O'Quinn, great writing, a good amount of tension and some great storytelling. The remake did everything wrong while the original does almost everything right. If you're a horror fan then I'd recommend this one over the remake any day."
