Stepfather II (1989)

I wanted to watch this before I rented The Stepfather because I've seen the original movie. This actually wasn't bad, but I did feel like it sort of dragged a little at the same time too. Jerry (Terry O'Quinn) escapes from prison and steals a man's identity and poses as a marriage counselor in a new town. He soon falls for his neighbor Carol (Meg Foster) and becomes close with her son Todd (The late Jonathan Brandis) who's having trouble coping with the fact that his father left his mom. Things are going great for Jerry (now known as Cliff) until Carol's friend Matty (Caroline Williams) starts suspecting that Cliff isn't who he says he is, but Carol is blinded by love as she continues on with her wedding to Cliff until she figures him out on her wedding day. Theirs not much action as far as a horror movie would be concerned, but the story is pretty good. The movie also stars Miriam Byrd-Nethery (Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III) as Sally Jenkins and John O'Leary (Julius Caesar) as blind man Sam. I give this movie a C.
