Australia released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Terry O'Quinn plays The Stepfather in this intelligent, unsettling chiller. We'd tell you O'Quinn's character name, but he has so many. You see, O'Quinn has been a stepfather many times over, romancing and marrying widowed women in several different states. After each wedding, everything is blissful--at least, until O'Quinn's new wife and kids fail to measure up to his notions of perfection. Then he kills them en masse, and moves on to his next victims. Shelley Hack and Jill Schoelen co-star as O'Quinn's latest wife and stepdaughter, who prove to be yet another disappointment to him. An adroit witches' blend of Ozzie and Harriet and Psycho, The Stepfather was scripted by suspense veteran Donald E. Westlake. A lesser sequel, Stepfather II, followed in 1989.

the stepfather is an absolute classic, having had a copy on VHS i have been waiting patiently for its DVD release and finally it has arrived.
true it is starting to look a little dated now but it is still absolutely fabulous, a story about a serial killer who moves from family to family, intending for everything to go right, but gets annoyed when things start going wrong and just can't control his temper. buy it, you'll love it.

I quite liked this film. I had never seen this movie before but knew about it when it came out in 1987. The best part in the film for me is Terry O'Quinn's fake smile, Creeepy!

Terry O'Quinn is so cool in this movie. Stepfather was a great but cheesy horror movie I watched as a kid and it really has aged all that much except for the hair styles. Heap better than the so call re-make they did a couple of years a go.

This film should have been called "The Most Hideously Garish Collection Of Jumpers Ever".
The acting is shockingly unconvincing, and every single character is wearing a... Read more
