Terry O'Quinn , the star of The Stepfather (1987) , was offered a cameo role in this movie, but he turned it down.
There is a large storm that the son and his girlfriend are seen sitting in the car and he finally runs into the house and she is left in the car watching him enter. In the background of the neighbors circular driveway you can see where the "rain" has a nice arc on the driveway and the area farther away from this arc is dry.
Unrated version was released on Region 1 DVD and Region A Blu-ray.

Amber Heard in a bikini...oh yeah...and some other stuff.
I have to give this movie a favorable review only because it delivered something it didn't promise and that took me by surprise. The Stepfather, as I'm sure you all know, is a remake (reboot?) of the 80's slasher series that set the tone for every darn Lifetime movie starring Valerie Bertinelli or Nancy McKeon. A desperate divorcée falls for a mysterious guy who, despite telegraphing to the audience how evil he secretly is, manages to fool his fiancée and her family into thinking that he's a swell guy....that is, until the body count starts. The plot isn't worth discussing. There's nothing here that we haven't seen before. What IS worth discussing is the director's obvious decision to exploit Amber Heard's lovely figure in one long never ending cheesecake sequence. You could make the argument that the ONLY reason this film was even made in the first place was to launch Amber into the stratosphere of blogworthy sex symbols (not unlike what Michael Bay managed to do with Megan Fox). You'll see Amber in her underwear lounging in bed, Amber in her itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini, gratuitous close-ups of her splendid anatomy, etc. This exploitation becomes so flagrant that it distracts from the story itself, which is probably a good thing. In a way the Stepfather 2009 comes off more like a 70's Drive-In flick; the kind teenagers would flock to in hopes of seeing a little skin. Maybe that was the point after all? I sure hope it was. The movie certainly doesn't deliver much else.

Nice guy (Terry O'Quinn) gets married to lovely wife (Shelley Hack) and her rebellious daughter (Jill Schoelen). He wants his family to be like "The Brady Bunch" or "Father Knows Best". However when his family doesn't live up to his expectations he brutally kills them, changes his identity and moves on to find another unmarried woman with kids. And he's getting tired of Hack and Schoelen... Exceptional thriller. O'Quinn gives a top-notch performance as the killer. He's helped by a very intricate script. Those two combined make you understand why he kills and plays with your emotions--I found myself actually liking the guy (for a while). There isn't a lot of violence in this, but when it appears it's very sudden, extremely bloody and shocking. The only liabilities here are Hack and Schoelen--they're pretty bad in their roles. But O'Quinn and the script more than make up for them. A sadly forgotten thriller from the late 80s. Well worth catching.

This is the remake of the original, so it is based on the original script by Donald E Westlake but uses a somewhat different one. Still, the basic idea is the same: our villain goes from mother/child pair to mother/child pair, first behaving very nicely and then, when they don't measure up, killing them and moving on. The differences lie in the details of the plot. In this version, he lives off the grid and pays cash for everything. This only makes the problem of how he finances his operation harder, as where he gets his cash is not really explored. But that really doesn't matter; the film is not about how psycho killers finance themselves; it is about the tension the audience feels and, of course, the violence. If you liked the original, you should like this one as well. If you haven't seen any of them, but they sound attractive, you should like them.

The Stepfather movies always make for a creepy view I cannot complain.

I can understand that without the writer's favor on the villain's side, the movie like this might not even work. But the movie that simply lets innocent people get killed and the villain get away to the very end without the proper justice is a vomit inducer, and will turn your stomach, and put a bad taste in your mouth at the end of the movie. You simply don't get that justice that you are seeking for as you wait out to watch this movie throughout, and you are left with the bitter taste that you don't want at the end of the movie. Such a waste of time when the director and the writer is obviously on the side of the villain all too much throughout the entire movie, even to the very end. If you don't like such a gruesome injustice, then pass this movie.

The original film THE STEPFATHER was a great little suspense film that became a huge cult classic and is at the top of the list of the career of star Terry O'Quinn. The story of a family where the mother remarries and the guy ends up becoming a psychotic killer had so many chills and thrills. Everything about it just worked. Here we have a remake of that film. There are a lot of terrible reviews here and if comparing it to the original they are indeed justified. But it can be looked at for its own merits. It's like a grade B thriller and Dylan Walsh does a pretty good job as the creepy stepfather. Certainly no O'Quinn but still good. Sela Ward adds a certain intelligent naivite to the mother and is fine. The true star of this film though is Penn Badgley as the suspicious son. It was a suspicious daughter in the original and the switch up works. The way the film is directed pretty much shows that a film of the caliber of the original wasn't really being looked for. Emphasis is on Badgley and his girlfriend. The house has a pool and both stars are attractive and we get lots of bathing suit scenes. Definitelty B horror level stuff. But there is some suspense and surprises. If you like any of the stars you will like the film. The blu ray has excelent video with strong crispness and clarity. Colors are strong and pop with flesh tones very realistic. Black/white ration is also good. Audio works well too with dialogue strong and present and surround speakers put to good use for the chills and suspense. I am a huge fan of the original and am looking at this film for what it is. And as a light suspense film with likable stars and excellent presentation on blu ray I can recommend it. Just know what you are getting. And if you are a fan of Ward, Walsh or Penn Badgley you will enjoy passing the 90 minutes.

Fairly typical story about two families, newly-united by second marriages for each, with a homocidal step-father. Not much new there. The done-before story-line is elevated by some atmosphere and good acting, especially from exquisite Penn Badgley, the delicious anti-hero from Gossip Girl. He was the reason I found this film, which would have gone unnoticed otherwise. Aside from the welcome eye-candy he provides, he has a compelling screen presence which makes everything he does interesting to watch. Penn's new house has a swimming pool in the back yard (hooray for California) so he appears several times lounging around in a bathing suit. Even if he couldn't act, or was not so obviously intelligent, Penn Badgley is certainly a genius from the neck down. And it's always good to see a director who knows how to use his attractive star. The step-father in question seems to have it in for poor Penn (too handsome?), but tries to disguise it under a bland and over-polite exterior which fairly drips with 'concern' -- the dead give-away of a psychopath in a thriller. It takes plenty of nocturnal stealth and surreptitious sleuthing on Penn's part (usually in shorts and t-shirt) to uncover the older man's dreadful secret which, in one last cliche of the genre, is hidden in the basement. But therein lies the atmosphere and chills the movie provides -- apart from the very real fear that our star will not get into a bathing suit again. Movie alone? Three stars. Extra star for Penn Badgley shirtless.

Whenever a remake of a film comes out the original is often if not always refered to as a "classic". After seeing the 2009 THE STEPFATHER i bought the dvd of the 1987 original to compare the two. This was prompted in part by the fact i never remember the 1987 original being refered to as a "classic" until the 2009 version came out. After viewing the 1987 original i have no idea whatsoever as to why its con- sidered a "classic". the acting was atrocious especially Shelly Hack and Jill Schoelen the mother and daughter. Terry O'Quinn wasn't as bad as Hack and Schoelen but he was so psychotic in his behavior you can't help but wonder if Hack's character was brain dead when she first hooked up with him. i know it was a low budget/independent film but the production values were sub-par even for a low budget/independent film. Also will someone explain to me how they made a sequel considering O'Quinn's character is killed at the end of the first film? Now the 2009 remake has first rate production values. plus Dylan Walsh's version of the title character is much more believable in that you can see Sela Ward's character actually falling for him. Plus I liked Penn Badgley as the suspecting almost stepchild much better than Schoelen's charcter. also i found the 1987 original dull and boring at times whereas the 2009 remake was well paced and never dull for a second. i'm sure people will still consider the original 1987 a "classic" but i simply don't see how it is one. An current example of misplaced cinematic awe is PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. it is winning raves as one of the scariest films in decades. when my two friends and i the left the theater we were totally perplexed as to why anyone would consider the film at at all scary. plus the acting was absolutely atrocious.
