THE STEPFATHER (1987)

Spin the wheel, pick a movie, it's time for another Cinema Shock Roulette episode! This time, the randomly-chosen film is a 1987 thriller starring a pre-stardom Terry O'Quinn and directed by genre workman Joseph Ruben: THE STEPFATHER!

In this episode, we'll not only trace the production of the film itself, but we'll also recount the story of the real life crimes that inspired it, in addition to exploring its legacy as a Reagan-era social satire.
