My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Stepfather (1986)

Before becoming a star on LOST, Terry O'Quinn starred in this crazy stepfather film about a psychopath needing a family in his life, until he feels unloved and he decides to find a new family. This is a tightly made low-budget film that will stand the test of time because of O’Quinn’s performance. Really everyone in it does a fine job. I know they made a remake but I’m just not interested in seeing it. For me this one nailed it and I don’t care if it’s a bit dated. It fits the time it was made and is just as enjoyable now. Grade: A-
