The Stepfather (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having always been a fan of the original film, I was curious to see this remake, even though I expected the worst. While this is an OK watch for thriller fans, it is inferior to the original in every way. In fact the original is more intense, more graphic and just more fun! This film looked and felt like a Lifetime TV movie especially with Ward playing the new wife in this tame and pointless remake.
If you looking to watch a film about a psychotic Stepfather, skip the watered down remake and look for the original, which has finally gotten a long over due DVD release this past year, no doubt because of the remake, so I guess the remake did serve a purpose after all.

Boy Next Door (2008) Review

(More customer reviews)From the rear of DVD. "World-renowned murder-mystery writer Sara Wylde travels to the small town of Christina Lake in search of inspiration to write her next novel. Sara gets more than she bargained for when she meets her neighbor, a young, handsome and wealthy man who quickly becomes her muse. Her novel develops effortlessly as she spies on him from her upstairs window each night. But when the man mysteriously turns up dead, Sara becomes the lead suspect in his murder case. Now, she must not only prove that she is innocent, but she must also try to discover the real killer before she becomes the next victim."
I bought this simply because Dina Meyer is in it, not knowing anything about the movie. It is a no frills DVD with only sound and subtitle extras. But the movie was actually pretty good. The acting was much better than most straight to video movies, and more importantly the plot and writing actually make sense. There are no real holes in the story line and just enough misdirection to keep you guessing most of the way through the movie. No out of left field bad guys showing up at the last second to be the real killer. Dina as usually was superb and gave a very good performance. A must have if you are a Dina Meyer fan, and a should have if you like murder mysteries.
