I haven't been wowed by the promos for The Stepfather, but it does have Gossip Girl's Penn Badgley in it, so maybe I can be persuaded to go see it on Friday.
Based on the 1987 original, the film follows Michael (Badgley), a son who returns home from military school to meet his mom's new boyfriend, David (Nip/Tuck's Dylan Walsh). But once a neighbor suggests that his stepfather looks like a suspect on America's Most Wanted, Michael gets suspicious that the guy is not as nice as he seems [cue creepy music].
While The Stepfather doesn't look scary-movie-bracket-worthy, the scene in the trailer where David drops a chainsaw on Michael's girlfriend did make me jolt. Maybe I'll go see it if I'm in the mood for a fright, but otherwise, I think I'll pass.
Are you going to check out The Stepfather? Or will you wait until you can watch it at home with the lights on?

L.a.p.a.
I'll take the original, tyvm. And I can hardly stand Penn as Dan Humprehy on GG, why would I pay to watch him try to act in this remade mess?
1Eh, I'll watch it when it comes on TV.
2I didn't think the original was all that great. This looks even worse.
3I will say, I am a fan of Amber Heard. I just wish All the Boys Love Mandy Lane got released instead of this
4pass - besides, I feel like I have already seen the whole movie just from watching the preview. and it was quite lame...
5this movie looks exactly like disturbia
6The Stepfather looks ok.
