Alec B In a way it is more ambitious than its predecessor (trying to get into O'Quinn's head more is a great idea) but that doesn't translate into a better movie. Ultimately the problem is that the setup requires too many unbelievable situations and scenarios. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Damien T Now this is one of my favourite Horror films, Stepfather II. Terry O'Quinn's, Meg Foster's and Jonathan Brandis' performances were wonderful for me, along with Jim Manzie's score which I liked better than the original Stepfather film. The screenplay was also decent for me, but I was happy that I saw some gore in this film. I think that the director Jeff Burr did a pretty good job at this film. I'll give this film 5 out of 5 stars, and an average "A" grade. I recommend this film as well to people who are fans of Terry O'Quinn or the Stepfather films! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/23 Full Review Saso Q The original Stepfather series and this entry in particular are criminally underrated cinematic statements, in my opinion. For they are nothing less than crystalline indictments of Conservativism; precise and definitive portraits of Conservatism as emotional illness. In this sense they are more effective than political argumentation, as they depict with tremendous clarity and precision -- not to mention great sense of humor -- the consequences and repercussions of the obsessive love of family values, the incapacity for flexibility and tolerating frustration... all the inevitable incongruences and imperfections in relating to the will of the other. This man, the protagonist, is an idealist, a Platonic optimist, a traditionalist, and as such given to outright expressions of the Death Instinct when things don't go the right way, the patriarchal way. This is to say, the conservative loves creation so much he is willing to kill in order to stop creativity. This is the final desperate cry of the Father, captured brilliantly in this lively filmic meditation on the terminal, lethal equation of societal collapse with change. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/27/23 Full Review Justin T I'm going to start with the ending and the ending was weaker than the previous one as it was less conclusive. Oh yes, that is possible. The film moved along at the same pace as the first film with the same formula. Even the ending was just the same. The only difference was that the camera work was far more static and dull. It almost looked like they took the few good bits of the first film and removed them for the sequel. I could watch the film with little offence. Not being offended is the height of the entertainment from this movie. This is not bad but this is also not good. More forgettable than the first with nothing standing out about it whatsoever. There was nothing really bad about the experience but there was certainly nothing good about it. The violence was rare and not gory. It didn't make me jump and the first one did. You know what, there is so little about this film except its bland attributes that I would recommend saving your time and not watching. It is utterly humourless so repeat watching is out of the question. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/23 Full Review Deke P Stepfather killer thriller Sequel made just 2 years after the first, which got sky high RT reviews.
