Entertainment Reviews:
...A gruesome delight. It's an icy parody of suburban bliss...
Los Angeles Times
There is not much original here; but it is a neat idea to have the myth of Mom and apple pie subverted by its own successes.

...Psychological acuity....There's a lot to admire in [Ruben's] ambition...

Rating: 2.5/4 --
While I was watching the film, I was distracted by elements of the Idiot Plot Syndrome -- moments when only an idiot would have made such obvious mistakes.

The Stepfather touches a sensitive nerve in America where the focus on family in movies and TV has been strong since the invention of the moving picture.

The key to this movie is O'Quinn as the title character. He's a scary bastard, and as an actor he commits to the role.
