The Stepfather (2009)

2009’s The Stepfather is the dead-beat, absentee dad’s equivalent of horror thrillers: it does the bare minimum. Even if that were enough, its utter lack of thrills and creativity means it scores low. If you’re young and you’ve seen no other films of this kind, it might entertain you. Anyone else will be calling out every single development a half hour before it occurs.

Michael Harding (Penn Badgley) is suspicious of his soon-to-be stepfather. His mom (Sela Ward) just met him six months ago and certain things just don’t seem to add up. The teen is right to be suspicious. David Harris (Dylan Walsh) is actually a serial killer named Grady Edwards.

You know every one of this movie’s tricks from the title. Michael is a formerly troubled teen who thinks his mother is moving too fast. To his mom, Grady seems like the nicest man on Earth - the total antithesis to her ex-husband, Jay (Jon Tenney). Michael's girlfriend, Kelly (Amber Heard) also thinks he's over-reacting. Cue the mysterious incident in the neighborhood. Maybe it’s a dead cat or a nosy neighbor that turns up dead. Either way, isn’t it convenient for Grady that the one thing he was complaining about not so long ago has suddenly been solved through violence? Cue the failed attempts to gather clues as Grady leaves the house but suddenly has to turn around because he forgot something. Do I need to say more?

Once you begin watching The Stepfather, you will develop precognitive abilities and foresee everything long before it happens. Even if you don't, this still isn’t an effective thriller. There’s no subtlety, sense of humor, ironic twist or any commentary in its 101 minutes. All you can think of is how much smarter you are than Susan Harding. I don’t know if it’s a US thing, but her house has a lock on the door in the basement. Is it to prevent someone from sneaking ice cream? One must assume it was there before the stepfather moved in because otherwise, what kind of irresponsible woman would let someone install latches willy-nilly in her home? Anyone with half a brain should be able to tell the man’s as dodgy as a locked cellphone sold without its charging cable. The Stepfather can’t even keep his own lies straight and his attempts to cover up his fake identity are as weak as a kitten. In his defense, this film is set in the late 2000s, when it should obviously take place in the 80s, like the original. You’ll be yelling at the screen in frustration as characters’ phones constantly fall on the ground, are left unattended or run out of battery to prevent the story from ending prematurely.

If there's one good thing to say about this picture by Nelson McCormick, it's that the performances are fine. Dylan Walsh is quite good at flipping the switch between charming and menacing. Penn Badgley and Amber Heard are believable as a couple of teenage sleuths and while Sela Ward is too beautiful to completely sell her role as a single woman desperate for love, she does a fine job with the material.

The Stepfather does not fall into the usual pitfalls of bad slasher films. Its killer may be unusually quiet when sneaking around but he’s not invincible or capable of teleporting. It’s well made enough to be described as “basic”, which I suppose is better than “terrible” but far less memorable and by no means an acceptable substitute for “good”. This remake is destined to be forgotten and no one will care. (On DVD, October 24, 2021)

"GREEN LANTERN" (2011) Review

"GREEN LANTERN" (2011) Review Green seemed to be the dominate colors regarding costumed crime fighters in 2011. The year marked the end of the television series, "SMALLVILLE", which featured Superman's colleague, the Green Arrow. Earlier that year saw the release of "THE GREEN HORNET", starring Seth Rogen and Jay Chou. And during the summer of 2011, Warner Brothers Studios released their adaptation on the DC Comics superhero, the Green Lantern.

Directed by Martin Campbell, "THE GREEN LANTERN" told the story of a hotshot test pilot for Ferris Aircraft named Hal Jordan, who becomes the Green Lantern . . . or one of them. Before Earth was formed, a group of beings called the Guardians of the Universe used the green essence of willpower to create an intergalactic police force called the Green Lantern Corps. One such Green Lantern, Abin Sur defeated a fear-essence being Parallax and imprisoned him in the Lost Sector on the ruined planet Ryut. However, Parallax eventually escapes from his prison, kills four Green Lanterns and destroys two planets. After Parallax mortally wounds Abin Sur, the latter crashes on Earth and commands his Green Lantern ring to find a worthy successor. The ring chooses Hal Jordan and transports the latter to the crash site, where a dying Abin Sur appoints him a Green Lantern by telling him to take the lantern and speak the oath. Back at home, Hal says the oath of the Green Lanterns, while under trance from the glow of the lantern. He is whisked away to the Green Lantern Corps home planet of Oa, where he meets and trains with Tomar-Re and Kilowog. He encounters Corps leader Sinestro, who is not pleased that a human, considered primitive in compared to other species, has become a Green Lantern. Meanwhile, Senator Robert Hammond summons his son, scientist Hector Hammond, to a secret government facility to perform an autopsy on Abin Sur's body. A piece of Parallax from inside the corpse inserts itself inside Hector, mutating the latter and giving him telepathic and telekinetic abilities . . . at the cost of his sanity. Not only does Hal have to deal with his private insecurities and fears about being a Green Lantern; but also, the uneasy state of his relationship with his boss/ex-girlfriend, Carol Ferris; and most importantly, the increasingly dangerous Hector and Parallax, who is slowly making its way toward Earth. Unfortunately for "GREEN LANTERN", it flopped at the box office. Because of its $200 million budget, it is considered a major failure and embarrassment for Warner Brothers. The critics tore the film apart before it even reached the movie theaters. And a good number of moviegoers stayed away in droves. In fact, its failure reminded me of what happened to "SPEED RACER" back in 2008, another Warner Brothers release. Pity. Because I enjoyed "GREEN LANTERN" and thought it was a solid, if mediocre adaptation of the famous comic book hero. Now "GREEN LANTERN" was not the best superhero movie that I have ever seen. The movie's plot struck me as one of those typical superhero origins tale that every fan of this type of movie genre has to . . . well, endure. Some of these origin stories have managed to knock my socks off. I cannot say the same about "GREEN LANTERN". I thought it was tolerable entertainment, yet mediocre. And I do have a major complaint about the screenplay written by Greg Berlanti, Michael Green, Marc Guggenheim and Michael Goldenberg. I thought it had failed to form a stronger connection . . . or relationship between the infected Hector Hammond and Parallax. The two characters only shared one scene and seemed over pretty damn quick. But I do believe that the critics' enmity was undeserved. "GREEN LANTERN" provided drama, some laughs, action and special effects. The screenwriters did a great job in developing Hal Jordan's character, allowing actor Ryan Reynolds plenty of dramatic meat to show off his acting skills. The screenplay also provided some strongly written supporting characters - especially Carol Ferris, Sinestro, and Hector Hammond, who was provided a strong subplot involving his relationship with his father. And aside from my disappointment over the Hector-Parallax connection, I thought the screenwriters did a solid job in providing a strong connection between Hal's personal demons, his introduction to the Green Lantern Corps and the dangers of Parallax. The behind-the-scenes production for "GREEN LANTERN" struck me as outstanding. I was very impressed. Felicity Browning led a team that provided first rate makeup for some of the cast. I was especially impressed by their work on Mark Strong, Peter Sarsgaard, and even Ryan Reynolds' eyes, while in his Green Lantern garb. But Grant Major's production designs for the planet of Oa really blew me away. I believe the visual effects supervised by Jim Berney and special effects by John S. Baker probably helped. Not only was I impressed by the designs and effects featured in the Oa sequences, but also the design of Parallax, which freaked me out a bit. As I had earlier pointed out, the movie's screenwriters did a solid job in their characterization of Hal, making him a complex and interesting character. But it would have never worked without Ryan Reynolds, who not only provided his trademark wit to his performance, but also provided Hal with a great deal of pathos and complexity. Reynolds also created great chemistry with his co-star Blake Lively. I had been very impressed by her performance in the 2010 movie, "THE TOWN". And her performance as Hal's ex-girlfriend, boss and fellow test pilot, Carol Ferris; only proved that my original opinion of her acting talents was not a fluke. She managed to be very impressive. Ever since I saw him in "JARHEAD" years ago, I have been a fan of Peter Sarsgaard. His portrayal of the insecure senator's son/scientist Hector Hammond made me into an even bigger fan. I think it was a testament to Sarsgaard's acting talent that he allowed Hector to remain a sympathetic character, despite his transformation into a villain from the Parallax infection. And it has been a while since I have seen Mark Strong portray a good guy when I first saw this film. For me, his portrayal of fellow Green Lantern Sinestro, seemed spot on . . . and a breath of fresh air. Both Angela Bassett and Tim Robbins provided solid support as government scientist Dr. Waller and Hector's father, Senator Robert Hammond. Mind you, I found nothing remarkable about Bassett's role, which is not surprising, thanks to the screenwriters. But it was interesting to see Robbins portray a somewhat smarmy personality, who seemed more interested in his son's ambitions (or lack of) than the latter's well-being. Look, "GREEN LANTERN" may not be the one of the best comic book hero movies ever made. And it does not strike me as one of the most original, let alone outstanding I have seen of its genre. But I do not believe it deserved the harsh words that many movie critics dumped on it. Thanks to the behind-the-scenes production, Martin Campbell's direction and the cast led by Ryan Reynolds, I thought that "GREEN LANTERN" turned out to be a solid and entertaining film.

#40 Te veo (2019)

Los Harper son una familia con problemas, ya que la madre y el padre de Connor (Judah Lewis), Jackie (Helen Hunt) y Greg (Jon Tenney), se encuentran en un proceso tenso después de los supuestos cuernos por parte de ella. Por eso Connor y Greg están enfadados con ella por traicionar a la familia, a la vez que en el pueblo empiezan a suceder cosas extrañas.

En casa de los Harper cada vez pasan cosas más extrañas, cuanto más se alejan los tres entre sí, a la vez, hay un secuestro en el pueblo que en el modus operandi se parece a una serie de secuestros y asesinatos de niños hace 15 años. Greg Harper al ser policía se pone manos a la obra con el crimen, reabriendo archivos con su compañero.

El amante de Jackie va a buscarla a su casa, pero sufre un percance y ella le avisa que en cuanto lleve a su hijo Connor a clase volverá para llevarle al hospital. Mareado deambula por la casa, ha perdido su móvil y alguien le ataca por la espalda golpeándole en la cabeza. Jackie está con Connor y Greg está trabajando, así que, ¿quién ha sido?

Cuando Jackie vuelve lo encuentra en su sótano, donde ella lo dejó, pero ahora está muerto, por eso cuando vuelve Greg le pide ayuda. Jackie quería dejar a su amante y mantener a su familia unida, y esto no hace más que romper un poco más su relación. Aunque los dos quieren proteger a Connor creyendo que es él quien lo ataca.

Jackie y Greg se van al bosque a enterrar el cuerpo del amante, mientras Connor se queda solo en casa. Este se convierte en el momento oportuno para qué la presencia que está en la casa empiece a hacer de las suyas, buscando atemorizar al chico.

Mientras Connor está en el ordenador le llega un chat anónimo preguntándole si sabe lo que es el "phrogging", el chico intrigado lo busca en internet y descubre que se trata de que un extraño se cuela en tu casa para generar situaciones de caos, robando cosas, colocándolas en otro sitio, etc.

Es aquí cuando aparece nuestro desconocido, mientras el matrimonio Harper vuelve a casa.

Encuentran a Connor en la bañera, atado de pies y manos, sin consciencia y amordazado. Greg busca por la casa y encuentra sus fotos familiares rotas, y un desconocido le ataca con un hacha.

Con un salto temporal nos enseñan a un chico y una chica colándose por la puerta del garaje cuando se van a trabajar, los graban todo con una cárama, y se presentan como Mindy (Libe Barer) y Alec (Owen Teague) y justifican que son "frogs" haciendo un documental de como quedarse en casa de alguien 4 o 5 días, lo justo para que no te descubran, intentando interferir en la vida de los dueños lo mínimo posible. En su video explican que mientras los dueños no están en casa, ellos se pasean por toda ella, pero cuando vuelven tienen que esconderse, en ese momento Alec encuentra en una especie de desván la máscara de rana.

Alec es un novato de esta técnica y no sabe seguir muy bien las normas, por lo que se aburre con facilidad de estar escondido. Por ello, por la noche vaga por la casa a oscuras, haciendo algunas travesuras, colándose en las habitaciones mientras los Harper duermen, los vigila de cerca, etc.

Estando escondidos y aburridos, oyen un ruido en la casa, haciendo que Greg casi los pille, esa adrenalina les gusta tanto como les asusta y pueden confesar que si no fuera por esta técnica de asaltar casas vivirían en la calle, es Alec quien roba las fotos de la familia, y propone meterse con los Harper para que piensen que se están volviendo locos. Es así cuando Alec tratándolo como si fuera un juego empieza a hacer travesuras sin que Mindy lo sepa. Para ello droga a Mindy dándole los somníferos de Greg y empieza a divertirse de forma más llamativa para que los Harper empiecen a creer que están perdiendo el juicio.

Mindy regaña a Alec por aterrorizar a los Harper, en ese momento Alec ataca al amante de Jackie sin querer dejándole caer una taza en la cabeza, Mindy se enfada con él, pero Alec se justifica en que se está divirtiendo.

Mindy se esconde y descubre a Greg asesinado al amante de su mujer, y escondiéndolo todo en su coche, pero es Alec quien destroza las fotos familiares, y quien lo pone todo patas arriba.

Mindy vuelve para contarle todo a Alec, pero lo ve atacando a Connor, por eso la empuja por las escaleras cuando esta trata de huir. Coloca a Connor en la bañera y huye con el cuerpo de Mindy en uno de los coches familiares. Mindy se despierta dentro del coche en el bosque, intenta contactar con la policía, pero no puede.

Encuentra una caravana con luz y se acerca, comprueba que se trata de un escondite con las ventanas tapadas por periódicos y decide entrar, descubre a los niños desaparecidos encerrados en los armarios, pero la sorprende por la espalda para ahogarla con una bolsa Greg Harper.

Alec está en casa de los Harper cuando Greg vuelve con Mindy inconsciente en brazos, y ve como este la sube del garaje a la casa y la despierta para dispararle simulando una escena del crimen en su casa, es ahi cuando la secuencia del enmascarado con el hacha, Alec, ataca a Greg en su casa.

Pelean y Greg deja inconsciente de Alec golpeándole con un hierro en la cara e infligiéndose heridas para justificar que se hayan colado en su casa, mientras lo hace, Alec coge el arma y le apunta, Greg le cuenta su plan que deseaba inculparle a él y a Mindy de los crimenes, quiere justificarse por los secuestros empezando a contar una historia de cuando era pequeño, pero Alec le dispara mientras le interrumpe diciéndole "A mí que me importa", el compañero de Greg entra y dispara a Alec directamente. Pero este dice en voz alta el nombre del inspector, quien lo reconoce porque trabajó en su caso.

El inspector compañero de Greg Harper descubre todo el arsenal que este guarda relacionado con sus crímenes, encuentra la caravana y libera a los niños, mientras Jacki y Connor vuelven del hospital a casa descubriendo a la policía en su casa: registrándolo todo y llevándose a Alec en una camilla.

Con un flashback nos muestran a Alec cuando tenía 10 años mientras camina con un amigo por las vías, allí un Greg más joven se les acerca para hacerles un regalo. Demostrando que Alec fue una de las víctimas de Greg y que logró escapar.

"Parecía la típica película aburrida de eventos paranormales justificada con un asesino que los elige al azar, pero la manera de contra la historia como si fueran dos puntos de vista diferentes hace que no te esperes que el asesino en serie sea el policía Greg Harper" - Cinema's Life

I See You (2019)

Do I give credit to I See You for what it did well, or punish it for the mistakes it makes? Tough call. When this film works, you’re overwhelmed with nervousness, fear and questions. In the end, once we know everything there is to know, things don’t add up but you have to credit it for being effective in the moment, which makes it worth seeing but probably not more than once.

A ten-year-old boy is abducted while riding his bike through a park. Clues show numerous similarities between the crime and those of a serial killer captured 15 years ago. Detective Greg Harper (Jon Tenney) is assigned to the case. When numerous unexplainable events begin disturbing his wife, Jackie (Helen Hunt) and teenage son, Connor (Judah Lewis), it’s unclear whether these are linked to the case, the affair Jackie recently broke off, the feelings Connor harbors towards his mother, or something else.

It’s best to go into I See You knowing as little as possible. Though the film only lasts 96 minutes, it feels like so much more. Writer Devon Graye and director Adam Randall have you caught in this bear trap that keeps tightening the more you wriggle. In the background, you see little things. A missing photo or objects that aren’t where they’re supposed to be. Unfortunately, the family is too preoccupied with their drama to recognize what’s happening. Is it already too late? How does this connect with the kidnapping? Your mind is buzzing with theories and you can’t wait for the next clue.

At one point, I See You drops a bombshell. While it dashes away many of your hypotheses, the fear that made the air so thick doesn’t disappear, it merely changes. You thought you were watching one kind of movie, turns out this is something completely different. You're knocked off your feet and not in a way that feels cheap. Everything adds up neatly. You’re shocked no one’s thought of this twist earlier but at the same time, this is the kind of development that feels fresh and new, a 21st-century kind of terror.

After the initial twist, the movie remains good. But then we get another twist… and then another. With each new shocking reveal, I See You makes less sense. Turns out those unexplainable events were caused by two “phroggers”, young adults who've snuck into the Harper’s home and have been living there in secret. Mindy (Life Barer) seems harmless for someone who broke into a household while Alec (Owen Teague) seems increasingly unhinged. If we knew this was a home invasion horror/thriller from the beginning it would've been one thing, but only realizing it midway through? It makes things so much scarier than before.

And then, we get another twist. Turns out Greg… is the serial killer who kidnapped the kid at the beginning! You thought the family was trapped in the house with the phroggers but it’s the other way around. If the intruders get caught, who knows what Greg is capable of? It's not as good a reveal but still effective. Then, ANOTHER twist. Alec knew this from the beginning. In fact, he’s been deliberately tormenting the Harper family as revenge for what Greg did to him 15 years ago and the man in jail was framed!

Will you see these reveals coming? No, but mostly because some of this makes no sense. If Alec knew whose house he was breaking into, why did he bring Mindy? If his objective was to torment Greg, why does he attack Connor? Why spend time tormenting the armed police officer at all when he could’ve easily gotten his revenge on him in the middle of the night and gotten away with it no problem? Has Alec been sitting on the killer’s identity for 15 years? Why didn’t he say anything as a boy? Why not years later when the innocent man was thrown in jail and seeking an appeal? This twist simply raises too many unanswerable questions.

Despite the plot holes, enough about I See You works to make it worth your while. The thing is, you won’t see the flaws while the movie is playing. The tension is too thick, the scares too real. It keeps you guessing. It’ll have you paranoid and even the stuff that doesn’t work makes sense in the movie world. Loopy as it is, this is the first script from Devon Graye and it’s impressive. You’ll want to keep an eye out for his future projects. (June 29, 2020)
