      If youre going to trade in the blood and guts for a PG-13 rating, at least make it exhilarating. The horror genre has diverged into two paths: the brutally gruesome and the suspenseful. IThe StepfatherI clearly is going for the latter category, which would have been fine if it were in fact thrilling.
