Don't Step On This Father's Toes - The Stepfather review by Spoons
Saw this when first released back in the 80's. Terry O'Quinn gives a chilling performance as the psychotic stepfather and the supporting cast are also good. I would say that it's slightly better than the remake and it still holds up well today. The only thing that really dates it is the score, which really is typically eighties. Enjoyable.
