Review of Stepfather 2 (1989) by Jason Y — 10 Nov 2010

In our surprising fury of like-age for [i]The Stepfather[/i], Megster and I decided to sequel it up with [i]Stepfather 2[/i]...

[b]Stepfather 2 - Make Room For Daddy (Burr, 1989) - **1/2[/b].

Where the original in the [i]Stepfather[/i] trilogy was careful in its cinematography, this first sequel is aware of its cross-cutting. Terry O'Quinn delivers another fine performance as "The Stepfather" in search of a family that won't disappoint him. Starring alongside O'Quinn is a very young Jonathan Brandis ([i]Ladybugs[/i] and TV's [i]SeaQuest[/i]) who sadly took his own life in November of 2003. While this film is essentially the same as the original, it does offer a great ending sequence. It is a darkly comedic sequence where the bride, covered in blood, walks to the altar to the wedding march ("here comes the bride..."). Can't wait for [i]Stepfather 3 - Father's Day[/i]...
