The Stepfather (25)

​

The Stepfather is a 1987 American thriller slasher starring Terry O'Quinn in the title role. It is loosely based on the life of mass murderer John List,[2] although the plot is more commonly associated with slasher films of the era than a true story. It was directed by Joseph Ruben and written by Donald E. Westlake, from a story by Westlake, Carolyn Lefcourt and Brian Garfield.

Although the film had filming started and ending in 1985, it was not released until later in 1987. This film was met with critical acclaim upon its release and the film was also followed by two sequels, released in 1989 and 1992 respectively and a remake also called The Stepfather which was released on October 16, 2009.

I like almost all the TCM movies, but the first two Stepfathers were great. Then again, the remake of Stepfather fucking blew dick while the remake of TCM was alright. I'm voting TCM.

I love how you narrowed it down by how much it blew dick to make the decisive vote.

This is hard because I nominated Stepfather and O'Quinn nailed it. However, HBO made a shitty third act and the remake was ass. I also rather liked the newest Texas Chainsaw a lot.
