The Stepfather is the full package: fast-paced, well-acted, suspenseful and brimming with bursts of nasty violence.

Antagony & Ecstasy

That's really all the movie needs to work: a sublime villain, with tight, driven direction, perfectly sturdy, effective writing, and a heroine who we can believe in.

The key to this movie is O'Quinn as the title character. He's a scary bastard, and as an actor he commits to the role.

An engrossing suspense thriller that refreshingly doesn't cheat the audience in terms of valid clues and plot twists.
