Stepfather III: Father's Day

EW's GRADE
D+

Details Rated: R; Genres: Horror, Thriller; With: Priscilla Barnes and Robert Wightman

Stepfather III: Father's Day is a poorly scripted, all-too-familiar chiller — continuing a serial killer's search for the perfect family — with gory plastic surgery, savage violence, and even some effective Boo! scenes. But robotic Wightman (who once replaced Richard Thomas as John-Boy on an episode of The Waltons) is a weak substitute for previous death-dealing dad Terry O'Quinn. D+
