This is honestly one of the greatest slasher flicks i have ever seen.i searched long and hard for a copy of this film but the search was well worth it. The story centers around a teenage girl who discovers that her step-father is a cold blooded killer.Great plot! Great acting! and the first time ive seen a girl younger than 18 nude! This is one of those films that deserves to be on dvd.

I think the 2009 remake is definitely better, but Terry O'Quinn is much scarier as the serial killer.

"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."

On November 9, 1971, he killed his wife, mother, and three children at their home in Westfield, New Jersey, then disappeared; he had planned the murders so meticulously that nearly a month passed before anyone suspected that anything was amiss. Other films, inspired include the 1993 film Judgment Day: The John List Story, in which List was portrayed by Robert Blake; the 1987 film The Stepfather and its 2009 remake, and the c"

" 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."
