33. The Stepfather (2009, Thriller)
If I had seen this when I was about sixteen (and was thus part of the target audience), I really would have loved it. So, in that sense, this remake was really well done! Just enough blood to be gross and enough crazy to be interesting, but definitely not scary enough to give me nightmares.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the acting. Dylan Walsh and Penn Badgley, in particular, did pretty well with what they were given. The writing of this film was not great ... or even remotely original. It fits every aspect of the Teen Thriller Archetype and was less boring than 2007's Disturbia.
The movie didn't require any brainwork but was still quite a tasty way to pass some time. It was fun and got the pulse racing a few times.
Final Grade: C
