Theatrical Reminder: The Stepfather (2009)

For those interested, the remake of THE STEPFATHER (1987) releases to theaters October 16th. Be sure to share your thoughts on the film, surely handicapped without Terry O’Quinn.

David Harris (Dylan Walsh), very much a “family values” man who mysteriously comes into the lives of single mothers with children and becomes the dream man they always wanted. When he woos Susan Harding (Sela Ward) and eventually moves in with her family, her teenage son Michael (Penn Badgley) begins to suspect that David is not quite the dream man he pretends to be. Along with his girlfriend Kelly (Amber Heard) and Susan’s friends they slowly start to piece together the mystery of the man who is set to become their stepfather, but they may be too late in getting to the truth.
