Day 189 of the challenge! The Stepfather is an incredibly chilling and real feeling 80s slasher (that happens to be based on a real life case).
Liked:
How realistic the story is. One of those few horror films that's grounded enough in reality to seem real. The movie is based on "real events", which you can read about here.
Slow burning but brisk pace. You get to take in just how much of a monster "The Stepfather" is by how normal and nice he seems.
Terry O'Quinn is fantastic as "The Stepfather". Such a creepy and gross performance.
Didn't like:
- The camera work and editing is wonky. There's no real style I could pick up on.
