Additional InformationA troubled teenage boy, Michael, (Penn Badgley û GOSSIP GIRL) begins to suspect that his future stepfather (Dylan Walsh û NIP/TUCK) may not the perfect gentleman he appears to be, but instead is a notorious serial killer who preys on broken families. He races to gather evidence in order to back up his terrifying suspicions before it's too late; but whilst struggling to collect the precious proof, a series of inexplicable murders take place. All the people helping Michael in his attempt to unmask his stepfather-to-be are killed, one by one, eventually leaving him alone in his bid to protect his loved ones. The 1987 thriller that shot LOST star Terry O'Quinn to cult stardom serves as inspiration for this remake penned by J.S. Cardone and directed by Nelson McCormick (PROM NIGHT). Sela Ward, Jon Tenney, and Amber Heard co-star in a Screen Gems release.
