Trivia
Several additional moments of gore were filmed after principal shooting on the movie had wrapped. That is because the Weinsteins, after a test screening of this movie, complained about the lack of blood and demanded re-shoots. Jeff Burr refused, and another director was hired to do the re-shoots. In an interview, Burr commented, "they cut a little bit of (the film) out and they added some badly done blood effects. Badly done, because Terry O'Quinn refused to do it. Really, they were meaningless, so that was irritating."

Goofs
When The Stepfather is arranging a victim's house and body to look like a suicide, the victim's dead body, hanging from a noose, blinks.

Till Death do us part round two

Terry O Quinn returns as the psychotic murdering family man who wants only one thing a family to call his own but that white picket fence house and perfect family he dreams about just never seems to be good enough maybe forth times the none killing charm.

The movie follows Gene (Terry O Quinn) after he escapes a mental institution where he was imprisoned for killing his last two families and almost killing the third once again changing his look and identity he moves into the perfect neighbourhood for family's and attempts to find a new family to call his own but it's not long before people start to see through his charade and he gets back to his old ways.

Terry O Quinn gives a chilling performance as the psychotic stepfather he makes this movie so memorable and creepy even when he's acting innocent in a scene you get chills.

Co Stars Meg Foster and Jonathan Brandis are great in there roles as the single mother and her son the only thing scarier than Terry O Quinn in this movie though are Meg Fosters eyes they have a strange hypnotic glow to them that I personally found very distracting.

Worth any Horror/Thriller movie fans time an underrated classic that sadly when it was released was overshadowed by bigger Horror movies of the late 80s don't miss this hidden gem.
