I just saw it.

The first half I was sort of intrigued by the premise and getting scared when suppossed.The second half I was feeling ashamed of the unoriginality(even if this wasn't a reamke),getting bored instead of scared,and wondering how bad this would be.The ending was bold and at least made me not feel like it was a waste of time.

Dylan Walsh makes a very creepy villain but that doesn't mean good performance.Nor does walking around showing off you body(Amber Heard),nor...whatever Penn Badgley thinks he does here,in GOSSIP GIRL,etc.

Despite being nominated for 2 Teen Choice Awards,at least it lost to better reviewed movies:PARANORMAL ACTIVITY for "Choice Movie-Thriller" and Leo DiCaprio(SHUTTER ISLAND)instead of Badgely for "Choice Movie Actor-Thiller".

I give this 3/10.

Well, my point was that it wasn't lackluster because the film contained quite a bit of suspense and I stress the word "quite." My brother hated Prom Night and the NOES remake and even he ended up liking this film. I also like to mention those who have seen it said it was decent and far from being one of the more terrible remakes and this is coming from horror fanatics who hate remakes.

For the triad memorial service for originality, America's Most Wanted promotion, and behind the scenes at Knott's Scary Farm, I've named this remake the #21 Worst Film of '009.

Oh, and I saw the film and I didn't think this film deserve a 11% on RT. That's plain ridiculous. The film sets out to do what it requires to do. It gets the job done effectively and efficiently.

I was kinda saying that it doesn't take a genius to figure out the stepfather was evil in the original and in the remake. It's just something known when you walk in seeing the film. At least that's what I think. Disturbia did the same thing.

So where's the star-studded memorial for cinematic originality?
 
Knott's Scary Farm of Southern California and even America's Most Wanted promoted this...only to lose. What a shame. I was born in late 1990 going on 1991, so before long (I'd estimate around 2014), they'll be remaking horror movies from after I was born.

I was talking about Halloween, not Father's Day -- but that would have been interesting.

I find it cool that there have been a stepmother and stepfather movie in the same year: This and The Uninvited, which came out earlier this year.

What do Christmas and Thanksgiving have to do with Father's Day, which is in June? This movie is months late for what could have been a more ironic (and ideal) release date.

Well, actually, it makes sense releasing it like a week or 2 before the actual date because if you release it on the date, then Christmas/Thanksgiving comes right around the corner.

*rolls eye*
Between crappy remakes like this and torture porn like Saw, horror's dead in Hollywood. It's only the horror comedies like Zombieland and indie films such as Paranormal Activities that are keeping the horror movie on life support. That's all I have to say.

Interestingly, this director has directed episodes of good shows such as Prison Break and Nip/Tuck. Guess not everyone can be like JJ Abrahms when transferring from TV to the big screen.

There's also another stinker coming out this week: Law Abiding Citizens

Someone really needs to tell these people... If you don't have an idea for a movie, don't make a movie! Don't just remake something that no one's ever heard of just because you want to keep busy. Unfortunately, that's part of being an artist - you can't always find work, and you don't always get to make @#$%loads of money...

THE ORIGINAL 1987 STEPFATHER WAS SOMETHING of a SLEEPER HIT, BUT WOULD HARDLY MAKE ANYONE's PRIORITY LIST of "CLASSICS" RIPE for BEING REMADE. THE PROMOs for THIS REMAKE MAKE IT LOOK LIKE STANDARD-ISSUE TEEN-AGERS-to-the-RESCUE / DRIVE-IN-QUALITY FARE. AND IT's FROM the DIRECTOR of the SURPRISINGLY NOT RAZZIE® NOMINATED 2008 REMAKE of PROM NIGHT. AT LEAST the TWO ADULT LEADS ARE ACTORS CAPABLE of GIVING GOOD PERFORMANCES...BUT WHEN THEY'RE GETTING GOOD MONEY to BE in DREK LIKE THIS...

GOTTA GO NOW... I PLAN to BE ALL DRESSED UP and READY WHEN HOLLYWOOD ANNOUNCES the STAR-STUDDED MEMORIAL SERVICE for ORIGINALITY -- WHICH, CONSIDERING IT WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD in JANUARY, SHOULD BE HELD at FOREST LAWN ANY DAY NOW...
