Stepfather 2

I haven't seen the original Stepfather, since it is a rare find in my town (as is the sequel). As is this sequel. So, I was shocked as hell to see it for $5.00 down at my local and loyal (the employees, that is) BlockBuster. I snatched my copy of it and took it home with me and popped it in the ol' VHS player. And I have to say, I was impressed.
Now, this was by far not the best thing I've ever seen, nor does it even rank in must-watch for rare commodities. But, it is worth the time if you happen to stumble upon it.
If you're like me, and haven't seen the original, no need to worry. The sequel clears that up with the ending from the original in the beginning of this movie. Then, he escapes the loony bin and then forms into Gene, a family counselor. Shortly, he wins the heart of both Carol and her teenage son, and before you know it, are set to wed. Meanwhile, Gene displaces some annoying fucks (including Carol's ex-husband) and gets set for the big day- OF LOVE AND DEATH!!!
The movie had it's ups, such as the directing, acting, inventivity, and even nice scenery. But, you can't forget about the uninvited downers, which include off-screen deaths, some stupid deaths (such as a security guard getting killed by a knightstick and a random man on the road dying, I think, after getting a car trunk gets slammed on his hands), some annoying characters (which were displaced of), and a horrible climatic ending (which started out good) Overall, Stepfather 2 is worth a look, but don't go in for gore and death, and don't overhype yourself.

3 and a half stars out of 5.
