Let's say that the last years Hollywood is remaking those old classics. But most of them failed to be better than the original. What I just watched should be a remake of the hard searched after classic The Stepfather. A lot of money is given to find the OOP full uncut. I can tell that this one never will earn that reputation. It isn't b ad but to say horror, no. No blood flows even as it starts pretty well with the so called stepfather leaving his old house when he just murdered his family. Nice. But then it's all the way down just until the last 10 minutes. Nothing really happens. It's a typical teen horror were no blood flows, oh god were are the good old 80's. It's a lot of talking between the stepfather and the son. Because he fears that the son is investigating his past. What the movie delivers is a bikini girl. And be honest, for the most part that's the best to watch. She's got something mysterious over her, the reason why she played Mandy Lane. I'm talking about Amber Heard. I guess male youngsters watching this flick will see that something can go up...but it will fall down due the weakness of the movie. Why oh why all those remakes. It's one to watch in the afternoon before your pizza and having the real stuff afterwards. It's so sad to see how producers and writers go for the easy money, put a babe in your movie, just show some bikini shots and you are finished, yeah, finished for me those guys are!
