5/10
Middling sequel.
13 December 1999
This sequel to the disappointing "Stepfather" was middling and highly unnecessary (it was perfectly clear that the main character was meant to be dead at end of the first movie), yet I enjoyed it a little more than the original, maybe because my expectations were much lower (it got negative reviews), or maybe because it is less pretentious than its predecessor; it's a slasher movie, it knows it, and it doesn't pose as a "character study". O'Quinn's performance was slightly better than his previous one in the same role, and the supporting cast is adequate. But that "the-psycho-that-keeps-coming-when-he-should-be-dead" cliche is getting REALLY tired.
