Critic Reviews of "The Stepfather (1987)"
VarietySeptember 24, 2007An engrossing suspense thriller that refreshingly doesn't cheat the audience in terms of valid clues and plot twists.
Time OutJune 24, 2006One is left longing for Hitchcock's dark, daring wit and disturbingly amoral insights.

Reel Film ReviewsNovember 25, 2009...ultimately manages to overcome its almost aggressively uneven atmosphere to establish itself as a solid little '80s thriller.
Dread CentralOctober 16, 2009The Stepfather is the full package: fast-paced, well-acted, suspenseful and brimming with bursts of nasty violence.
Lessons of DarknessJanuary 15, 2008Ruben's surprisingly resonant and durable tale ... cannily reflects, in a larger way, the era of its creation
