The Stepfather
He wanted a perfect family in a perfect town. But they couldn't measure up...Neither could the others...
A taut psychological thriller about a charming serial killer infiltrating a family, built on mounting dread and the terror of hidden monstrosity beneath a respectable facade.
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.
