Not the best movie, still pretty good
It was okay I guess. It's definitely not one of the best scary movies I've seen. It's basically about a guy who dates moms and then kills them and the whole family..and anyone who is suspicious of him. At the beginning there is a scene when he is drinking coffee or something like that and the family is all laying on the ground in different spots.....at first I thought they were sleeping...on the floor. I was a little off.

Good Horror for Younger Teens
I've seen The Stepfather I think 5 times, and even though it's pretty predictable, I keep watching it. Some of the violence is a little disturbing and makes you feel bad for the victims, but nothing over the top. It really depends on you, if you can handle a tiny bit of gore and suspense then this is a great movie to watch for a little scare.

OM.....It was so suspenseful. The ending REALLY creeped me out sooo much!!!!!!!!!! But if u can handle people in swim suits you will be fine. OH and some people being murdered other than that REALLY GOOD!

I just saw it this afternoon and it gave me a good scare without being overly bloody and gory! Very fun to watch by yourself! Although the ending CREEPED ME OUT! :D

okay
Predictable. Overall, not a bad movie- but nothing special. Ending is very violent. and the first scene of the movie is a dead family on christmas morning. not very pleasant....

Pretty Good
This movie just made 4 stars for me. It was very suspenseful and eerie without being gorey. It was well made and the acting was surprisingly not terrible. I enjoyed it.

Pretty good movie that's rated PG-13 compared to other PG-13 horror movies that I have watched. The way the killer kills people might be disturbing to younger viewers and seeing the dead bodies. Other than that, kids 12 and up can definitely handle it.

It was ok kinda predictible but I liked the movie because it was suspensfull and not too scary. I hated the ending though. Also seeing those little kids brutally murdered with their mom on christmas morning was a little over the top.

Perfect first horror film, for teens looking for new releases!
Although the movie is violent, it is not anywhere near as gory and bloody as some other horror movies. Great as a first horror movie! Did have to check off the "sexual content" concern. Although there is never any sex scenes, there's still a girl in bikini and some kissing. All in all, a great movie for a teen! Not to scary!

The stepfather
It is a very good movie. I´am 13 year´s old and it didn´t bother me but some young teens and kids may find some killings a little too violent and there is not any sex scene but there is nudity

TENSFUL but amazing movie
Its not really violent its just that it has ALOT of tense moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat...the sex isnt really an issue just alot of bathsuit make-out sessions..and not too much swearing but enough to offend you children

This was a lot like Disturbia (2007), but i thought it was really good. I do think the commericals give it away tho. Dead bodies are seen on the ground at begging, david cuts himself w/ his razor. someone is stabbed in the neck (not bloody), someone is pushed down stairs, someone gets a bag over there head. Some occassionaly language (d*mn, one sh*t etc.) 1 middle finger. Lots of kissing, making out. Main charactors are mainly in there bathing suits. Drinking near begining. Overall it was a pretty good thriller (last 10 mins are like a horror)
