The Stepfather (1987) Directed by Joseph Reuben Despite collecting positive reviews, director Joseph Ruben's The Stepfather was a box office flop, lost among the flood of slasher films saturating the market at the time. Still, the film managed to garner a small cult following, which has increased since its home video release. The Stepfather works for one reason: it's an exercise in despair framed as the portrait of a tragic man.  Meet Jerry Blake, brilliantly portrayed by Lost's  Terry O'Quinn. Jerry's the new guy in town, and has all the makings of a perfect friend, perfect neighbor, perfect boyfriend and even a perfect husband. But looks can be deceiving, as Jerry is really a homicidal maniac. He moves from town to town, marrying into a family and then wiping it out when it inevitably fails to live up to his Leave it to Beaver ideal. O'Quinn is well cast »
