He was still better than MY stepfather...

July 2, 2018

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

If you haven't seen the original Stepfather movie, it's worth watching. Stepfather 2, however, is the superior film in my opinion. Terry O'Quinn is back as the villainous stepfather in question... and this time he's twice as crazy! The stepfather seems to be having more fun this time around, cracking more jokes and killing more people. The violence was intensified from the previous installment, but it's still below the levels of a Friday the 13th film or Nightmare on Elm Street. Meg Foster does a good job representing the stepfather's love interest, but the secondary character that really shines here is played by Caroline Williams. Caroline plays a nosy mailman who discovers the stepfather's heinous nature and tries to expose him... with unfortunate results. Will the evil stepfather finally acquire a loving family of his own? Spoiler alert: NO! But that's the point! Just watch his twisted attempts at love unravel (and enjoy)!

It's Good For Nostalgia But Not Much Else

I saw this as a kid and I won't lie, I geeked out a few hours ago when I realized it was streaming online. I started with The Stepfather and immediately moved into this one. As many have said, the acting is pretty much what you would expect for a campy horror movie. I can't even say it was scary, really. It was when I was a kid. Now all I can think at the end of this meh movie is that I want the same healthcare this guy gets because he's survived (at the very least) a stab wound to the heart and a gunshot wound to the chest. Since there's a third installment, I think it's safe to say he survives the injuries inflicted on him in this one. For nostalgic reasons, and those reasons alone, I can't hate this movie.

But I'm not happy about the fact that I'll be whistling Camptown Races for the next week...

One Of The Best Horror Movie In It's Generation

It was awesome to see this again. It has been a very very long time. I'm was sad when Jonathan Brandis died in 2003. Because he was in this. Very good actor. Terry O'Quinn will always be remembered as absolute best evil stepfather. Excellent horror film.

It's pretty decent, with good acting

I dont understand why this movie is so unknown.
It's pretty decent, with good acting, story, and entertainment value. I haven't seen the first one in a while, but I think part 2 might be better. Not sure.
Anyways, this movie should be spoke of more in the Horror movie conversation. Gonna check out part three now.

It was okay. Too many holes in the plot, but suspending disbelief helped to view this film as pure entertainment.

Campy horror movie that is fun and provides some good laughs

Campy horror movie that is fun and provides some good laughs. Terry O'Quinn is so convincing at being a super-dad which makes it even better. I watched stepfather and this sequel the last 2 days, and its crazy that I've never heard of these movies before. I only knew Terry O'Quinn as John Locke from Lost lol!
