In 1987, Terry O’Quinn gave a memorable performance in the psychological horror film The Stepfather, which was so well received that a sequel made it to theatres less than three years later. Despite having O’Quinn back in the lead, Stepfather 2: Make Room for Daddy (watch it HERE) didn’t go over as well as its predecessor… but we’re here to give the sequel some praise in the new episode of our video series The Black Sheep. Check it out in the embed above!
Directed by Jeff Burr from a screenplay by John Auerbach, Stepfather 2 has the following synopsis:
After cheating death by surviving being both stabbed and shot, psychotic killer Jerry is placed in a mental institution, but he soon murders his doctor and escapes. Taking on a dead man’s identity, he moves to an upscale neighborhood in Los Angeles and sets his sights on local woman Carol, slowly winning her heart. Carol’s son, Todd, grows suspicious of his mom’s new lover, however, and tensions reach the boiling point at the couple’s wedding.
O’Quinn is joined in the cast by Meg Foster, Jonathan Brandis, and Caroline Williams.
