    Stepfather 3 Father's Day? The third installment in this lackluster series. Inferior in every sense of the word, this sequel is terrible, and follows too closely the same formula used in the first film. The film ends up being a wreck of a film and therefore has no entertainment v... read morealue whatsoever. A lame uninspired third entry in a tired out franchise. A shame.

    This is the best psychotic stepfather series I ever watched with good courage of a disabled son of the family who discovers the mystery of his stepfather and protects his own family.

    the definition of camp is when the effort to create a cohesive work results in failure. On this level, Stepfather 3 is first rate (I'm not being disengenuous). The plot is entirely formulaic, the overall look is cheap- like some kind of lifetime melodrama- and, most of all, there... read more is not one moment where Robert Wightman(Keith Grant) is diabolical, or frightening; every minute of his performance is overflowing with comedy gold. I have seen this film dozens of times, and still find it hilarious. I've never even seen the first two movies, and don't really need to. This one has everything you could want from a campy horror flick: bad one-liners, social irrelevance, stock characters you want to see die in terrible ways, and morally objectionable content (for instance, when Keith murders the priest). Of course Stepfather 3 is a bad movie. If you go into watching a movie like this without a sense of humor, you're going to come out of it with very little. This film is pure genius if you ask me.

    Very Nice Thriller, a bit Adult!

    Entertaining about 1/3 of the way in after the corny and sappy beginning. This movie mixes a psychotic ruthless killer movie with very sappy after-school-special feeling crap. Watch the trailer and you'll know what I am saying. No where near as atmospheric or creepy as the first ... read moreStepfather film (which is one of the best horror films ever), and does not reach the entertainment value. Somehow I was still not able to peel myself away from watching it though.
