The Stepmother 2

This movie took me by suprise. It isn't overhyped over done or the most important to me; or too far fetched. This all could really happen. I'm not saying 100% real on every single thing, but I like that it isn't asking us to believe in martians flying then some stupid superficial twist. It has a pretty decent premise/plot and sticks to the story. Another thing that most films can't do. They try to weave too much together. This is just a story of a pyscho woman who escapes and is as they say in the film like a female Bundy. I don't know but it did hold my attention and better than most recent films. Check it out!

From watching love and hip hop I never knew erica mena could act, the stepmother 1 and 2, Mena gives you a truly great performance from start to finish. She embody the character and makes you believe she is 100000% crazy. It was the 1st time seeing erica mena act and she nailed the part couldn't see anyone else playing this role. She had me fully convince she Nutts. Mena plays a women with mental health who suffers with PTSD and bipolar (that's what I got from watching it I could be wrong) the film is well written and the acting from erica mena is truly great. I watched both films back to back and would recommend anyone to watch.

I wasn't impressed with the 2022 first movie "The Stepmother", yet I opted to sit down and watch this 2022 sequel, since I hadn't already seen it. And who knows, perhaps part two will prove more entertaining than the first movie?

"The Stepmother" part two starts out quite nicely, and definitely feels like a direct continuation of the previous movie. And on that account, director Chris Stokes was on the right track right away.

But I must admit that the storyline quickly went off the rails, and I lost track of what was going on and whom the characters were. It felt like a very cluttered and disorienting storyline that writers Marques Houston and Chris Stokes conjured up to continue on after the first "The Stepmother" movie.

It was nice to see some returning cast members from the first movie return to reprise their characters and roles in the sequel. Sure, the acting performances in "The Stepmother 2" were okay, despite the dubious storyline. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, aside from the returning cast from the first movie.

You know when a police officer's uniform has the word "cop" printed on the chest, then you have some real, genuine props on your hands. When I saw that in the movie, I nearly spilled my drink laughing.

Part one of "The Stepmother" wasn't a great movie, but it was watchable at least. However, "The Stepmother 2" was a swing and a miss, and the writers just lost me along the way.

I doubt that even the most hardcore of family-invasion-thriller fans will get much of a kick out of watching "The Stepmother 2". I watched it as a casual viewer, and I didn't enjoy this movie. And I am sort of dreading part three, as I have that one lined up to watch after this one.

My rating of director Chris Stokes's 2022 "The Stepmother 2" lands on a three out of ten stars.
