Seemingly mild-mannered Henry Morrison has just murdered his entire family. After adopting a new identity and skipping town, he begins building a new relationship with a widow and her teenage daughter. However, he soon begins struggling to hide his true identity and maintain a grip on reality.
How scary is The Stepfather?
Nobody has rated it yet. Ratings on Scare Scale come from people who've watched the film, and score five kinds of scare out of 10:
- Gore
- Blood, injuries and body horror shown on screen. Violence that happens off-screen barely counts.
- Creepy
- Unsettling images, atmosphere and things that feel wrong. Not sudden shocks (Jumpscares) or waiting for something to happen (Suspense).
- Jumpscares
- Sudden shocks designed to make you jump, usually a fast movement or a loud noise. Not slow-building dread (Suspense).
- Suspense
- Tension and dread while you wait for something to happen. Not the scare itself when it arrives (Jumpscares or Gore).
- Psychological
- Horror that gets in your head: paranoia, madness, doubting what's real and ideas that stay with you. Not how a scene looks (Creepy) or feels in the moment (Suspense).
