This ‘2009’ Crime/Thriller was a sinister and discomforting film exposing tactics of a killer. ‘The Stepfather’ written by J.S. Cardone and Donald E. Westlake and directed by Nelson McCormick slowly brings viewers into a loving family and step by step unveils suspicious and agonizing behaviour by our main character David Harris, played by actor Dylan Walsh.
Almost triple at the box-office, produced by Screen Gems, Maverick Films, and Imprint Entertainment, with a budget of $11 million USD it made back a cool $29 million USD in one month that year. Nominated for 2 awards, this motion picture has all the cinematic maneuverings to leave the audience squirming in their seats but still wanting more.
Sela Ward, Penn Badgley, and Amber Heard also came out to play and although some ‘make-out’ scenes between the teen-agers I found unnecessary, overall it made for a very good film.
