Synopsis
The Stepfather (2009) is a horror-thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Nelson McCormick. This remake of the 1987 cult favorite drops its old paranoia into a sunny suburb of swimming pools and trimmed lawns.
Michael comes home from military school to find his mother glowing beside her new partner, David, a polite and endlessly helpful man who seems lifted straight from a brochure on perfect husbands. Michael alone senses the rot behind the grin. Dylan Walsh plays David with unsettling calm, the agreeable neighbor who installs himself as head of a family that isn't his. Amber Heard and Penn Badgley round out the cast as the young couple who get closest to the truth.
The film runs on one simple, effective fear: what if the most upstanding man in the house is the danger. It's aimed at fans of grounded domestic thrillers where evil wears a polo shirt and makes breakfast. Stream The Stepfather (2009) online on iFILM.
