The Stepfather

After divorce, spouses often feel it necessary to eventually regain the nuclear family setting by finding a significant other to fill in the missing role. Unfortunately, this time, the divorce ex-wife found a serial killer to fill in that role and there is only one thing a serial killer wants to do when given the chance and opportunity.... kill everyone they can. This new father to be starts showing warning signs that there is something wrong, but as any horror movie goes, tell-tale signs always go either forgiven or unnoticed and sadly, it leads to 1st degree murders all over the place.

I thought that the horror film was actually quite good. It grabs at your emotions as you see a desperate mom yearning to bring her family together, an ex husband wanting to reconnect with his children who have turned their back on him for leaving, and a son who had just got back from military school struggling to get back into the family circle. All of this leads to a twisted tale of a fight for everyones lives as they slowly recognize that they have been duped by a serial killer. Its your everyday, normal "stepfather is actually a serial killer" scenario that we see every day in the real world. psyche! but its a good movie. I recommend it
