As we’ve said before, strictly opinion here, but THE STEPFATHER (whether speaking original or remake) has a rather predictable storyline, so seeing as how the old one was held together by Terry O’Quinn’s amazing portrayal of a suburban psycho, our only real interest in the redux is how Dylan Walsh handles the character. Here’s his take:
“He’s stiff, and I imagine he’s had these different families, and he’s tried different things… There’s a repertoire of tricks, and they hadn’t worked before, and he’s trying to make this one work. That’s what his flaw is: He’s caught up in this old-fashioned way. He’s well-meaning. It’s just that he wants to control every facet of it. He’s got this 1950s thing. He demands to be the head of the family, and what he says rules.”
