Quite creepy but not a great movie. Quite annoying with Amber Heard's character which was pointless and always with her bikini or underwear most of the time.

No idea why this movie is so underrated. I can only recommend to those who love a thrill.

Fuck off. Yikes. Penn Badgley in this is definitely just a prequel to 'You'. Why did I finish this?! Had to cleanse myself afterwards.

On its own, the 2009 remake of “The Stepfather” is a generic but perfectly adequate B-horror film. However, it is also totally superfluous if you know the original, which tells the story much better. Furthermore, the premise of a killer constantly changing his identity without any digital footprint was already somewhat implausible in 2009. Creeping into a new family without a single photo being taken of oneself is, of course, nonsense. However, the cast isn't bad overall. At least most of the actors were familiar to me, and Dylan Walsh does a solid job as the murderous stepfather. But the movie could have been a bit bloodier to stand out from the crowd. There's not much that will stick with me at the end.

After I added this to my watchedlist I saw that it was a remake and was curious to compare the two.

==**2009 rating of 7 vs 1987 rating of 3.**==

In my opinion, the 1987 one isn't really worth the time overall. Both movies have the same basic premise of [spoiler]"dude slaughters the fa More
