THE STEPFATHER (Nelson McCormick, 102 min) Opens Friday (October 16). For venues, times and trailers, see movies. Late press screening – see review October 19.
Usually it’s the stepmother who gets the bad press, but 1987’s The Stepfather turned the gender tables and produced a decent thriller. Now it’s been remade with Nip/Tuck’s Dylan Walsh as the serial killer who’s changed his look, moved across the country and set up home with the unsuspecting Sela Ward and her suspicious teen son Penn Badgley. Things do not go well.
