"The Stepfather" was surprisingly well-done for a horror film. The oldest teenage son in the movie really stole the spotlight. Sela Ward played the mother who stayed oblivious to the evil of her husband-to-be, which annoyed me to no end. However, she did redeem herself at the end of the film. I would classify the movie as more of a thriller than a horror film, and there really isn't any blood or gore to worry about if you are sqeamish. Truthfully, the most disturbing part of the film occurred in the first five minutes. The rest of it just kept you on the edge of your seat. I'd recommend this if you want a light-weight horror film that delivers more suspense than gore. This film gets 3 ½ out of 5 stars.
