**This review may contain spoilers** Even though this movie is the weakest in the series I would say I walked into this movie with almost no expectations whatsoever and it surprised me. The Stepfather has now gone through plastic surgery and is searching for a new "perfect" family. This felt like a rehash of the first movie since it's almost the same story except for the plastic surgery involved in the plot.
Terry O'Quinn is replaced by Robert Wightman and this is what's probably the biggest problem with the movie. He's nowhere near as good as Terry O'Quinn but he keeps getting better the longer into the movie you get (when he plays the "nice" Stepfather is the weakest part of the movie but when he plays the "evil" Stepfather he does a really great job). The supporting cast is probably the best part of the movie and the actress who carries this movie on her shoulders is Priscilla Barnes, she gives her all in this movie and she does a really great job. Another character I was very fond of was Father Brennan played by John Ingle, he was very likable and funny at times as one of the most down to earth preachers I've seen on film. A surprise for me was the character of Andy portrayed excellent by David Tom (espesially during the more emotional scenes).
The soundtrack is good and you can sort of hear the theme from the previous two films in the series within this theme if you listen very closely.
For a made for TV movie Stepfather 3 was great, even though it's the worst in the series I can recommend it if you enjoyed the first two. 6/10 stars from me.
