The Stepfather
This may look like your average mad slasher movie, but don't be misled by the packaging. This exploration of a deranged man just trying to find and maintain the perfect American family is several cuts above the usual shlock. Terry O'Quinn is mesmerizing in the title role. Script by Donald Westlake. A real chiller.
