My VHS was little looking long in the tooth. The film has a wonderful autumn look throughout. I hope the transfer has good color. Lots of oranges, browns and reds. Well...LOTS of reds. hee hee!
12 years! Well, if The Stepfather is the beginning of a huge movie release schedule then we may be in for some exciting releases in the future.

I'd always viewed it as a black comedy. The people trying to find him, the relative of murdered people and a cop, are hilarious. I guess that's unintentional comedy, but there's some intended black comedy as well....I believe.

Edit: Not even close. Looks like she was about 24 at the time.

I'm glad she was 24 because I've NEVER averted my eyes during that scene.
I actually appreciate the way the daughter character was done up to that point. Her relationship with the doctor ending with her being very vulnerable and the shower scene wants to take advantage of that. ...
Of course, she just looks too darn hot.

Whoa. 15? She looks 17 at least. This is a guess...but maybe the character was meant to be 15 but casting wanted that actress even though she looked too old for the role. Just a thought... But 15 for her is a big stretch. I remember her looking 17 or 18.
I saw the film with my mother and maybe older sister.. That part was kind of uncomfortable and the vulnerability thing came through. But later viewings by myself were a little...different.

Is there any chance of them also releasing The Stepfather II & III?
There's a special edition of 2 coming out in September 29. I'll stick with the first release of it. A fine film but not worth the double dip.
Not sure about 3. Nothing comes up on amazon.com.

Yeah, it is kind of strange. But it got a release in region 1 while Stepfather 1 never has.
