The Stepfather is the greatest movie of all time

The Stepfather. Gist is a dude marries into a family, gets overbearing, and when his stepdaughter fails to live up to his expectations, he goes into a homicidal rage. Multiple times. His expectation you ask? Not dating until she’s 18. Though her boyfriend is a huge dick, and I wouldn’t want him making out with my step kid either, this is obviously extreme behavior.

Movie stars Terry O’Quinn, he’ll always be John Locke to me, as the stepfather. My man is really going for it here. Really hammering home the whole “we are a family, we have to stay together” schtick. 

There’s an unconventional detective guy that’s trying to track him down. Not really sure what this guy is like job is, but he takes it upon himself to take down John Locke. Played by Stephen Shellen, a poor man’s Nathan Fillion. He comes in every room hot. Some serious coked up energy.

Director Joseph Ruben had a pretty solid career but stopped making movies. Also did Dreamscape (a childhood favorite), Money Train, The Good Son, and Sleeping with the Enemy.

Pretty fun movie. The ending is something. Stabbing, shooting, punching, falling through ceilings. Chopping down bird houses. 

There is an extremely gratuitous nude scene from the 16-year-old high school stepdaughter girl like in the last 10 minutes of the movie which was shocking. Played by one Jill Schoelen. She apparently broke Brad Pitt’s heart before he was Brad Pitt. She thought she was too good for Brad Pitt. Gonna let that sink in. She has a pretty young lady though.
