The Stepfather

This film has no current screenings
Outwardly comforting and handy around the house, Jerry Blake (Terry O’Quinn) excels at charming widows and insinuating himself into their family units. But when they fall short of his expectations, they’re made to pay dearly. His new ready-made clan consists of Seattle widow Susan (Charlie’s Angels’ Shelley Hack) and her teenage daughter Stephanie (scream-queen Jill Schoelen), who suspects something sinister beneath his wholesome, birdbath-building façade. Long before embodying the mystical John Locke on Lost, O’Quinn garnered universal praise for his riveting work here as a man so desirous of the perfect family that he’s willing to kill for it.
