When Michael Harding (Penn Badgley, TV’s “Gossip Girl”) returns home from military school, he finds his mom is madly in love with her charming live-in boyfriend David (Dylan Walsh, TV’s “Nip/Tuck”). At first, David appears to be the ultimate nice guy and an ideal future husband and stepfather. But when Michael and his girlfriend (Amber Heard, Zombieland) start delving into David’s past, they begin to discover a dark and dangerous side to Michael’s new “daddy” in this riveting, chilling thriller.

Critics Consensus: This tepid remake of the 1987 cult classic lacks the tension and satirical undercurrents of the original.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Rotten

This inane venture into familiar territory does nothing besides inspire audiences to put the 1987 original into their rental queue.

While it suffers from a few plot holes, lack of gore, and some cheesy horror tropes along the way, it proves to be an enjoyable film overall.

Walsh's performance as David is so limp that it's difficult to imagine David outwitting any of his victims in the film.

What a shame that the remake fell into the unwieldy hands of the same jokers responsible for last year's execrable Prom Night redo.
