Stepfather II: Make Room for Daddy Movie Reviews

Our master carpenter n master of disguise survives injuries that would kill a normal person.

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs.

Revisited it recently.

While the first is one of the most effective n well acted thriller, this one is an open and shut case of pure cheating aka cashing in on the success of its predecessor.

There is nothing new in this one but once again Terry O’Quinn’s performance is the highlight.

Tension n suspense is zero in this one.

The plot – Jerry Blake, the psychotic n murderous fella survives the events of the first part and finds himself being institutionalized but Blake being a family man, finds it hard to stay away from his family and therefore he escapes from the institution and later assumes the identity of a deceased publisher and poses as a psychiatrist and soon begins courting a woman eventually winning over her and her teenage son but the woman’s estranged husband returns, wanting to reconcile with his wife. Blake will not sit idle n watch his future family being snatched away from him.

He’s back

Obviously you might say, considering this is a sequel! Now if you say that, I have to presume you haven’t seen the original. So if that is true – why? Go and watch and then come back and read this review! If you only want to watch one of the Stepfather movies, make it the original, no offense to this one. So I’ll continue under the assumption you either have seen the previous movie or just don’t care about me talking about it.

Not that I will talk a lot about it, but one has to reference the ending of the first one. The original director never thought they’d do a sequel to the original But here we are, the success of the first one convinced producers (and apparently Terry who was relatively young and probably needed the money) to make another one. And that after Terry’s character was practically dead – there is no way to say it otherwise. Shot, stabbed in the heart, probably broke his neck with that fall too .. all wounds “gone” and even though there is a look back at what happened and that scene… the movie also makes you believe he survived and was put into a mental hospital. Now as you can imagine, if he can escape death, he certainly can escape a mental health capacity … so from there we go with a new family and new victims.

Without Terry this probably would have felt a lot worse than what it felt watching it with him in it. For completionists only … which is even more true for the third one in the series.

An acceptable, but rather inferior and unnecessary sequel to the outstanding original

This unwarranted, but passable and reasonably engrossing sequel once again features the impeccable Terry O’Quinn as the titular anonymous obsessive family killer who this time escapes from an asylum, moves into a quiet suburb, and masquerades as a family psychologist (!). The stepfather’s targets here for the perfect American family here are real estate agent Carol Grayland (well played by the always solid and lovely Meg Foster) and her young son Jeremy (an engaging portrayal by Jonathan Brandis). Director Jeff Burr (who previously gave us the good’n’ghastly horror anthology sleeper “The Offspring”) builds a sufficient amount of tension and there’s a delightfully spunky turn by the vivacious Caroline Williams (Stretch in “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2”) as Carol’s nosy best friend Matty, but this follow-up falls markedly short of the first film’s sterling quality because of John Auerbach’s predictable script and sophomoric attempts at humor. Overall it’s okay and worth seeing once, but the original was much better and more resonant.
