    CULT HORROR/THRILLER SUGGESTION:
    Bad Ronald (1974)
    Pretty decent for the time.

    57 here; this is based on the real case of John List here in Westfield, NJ, home of The Watcher, Addams family creator Charles Addams, etc.I don't remember if creator Donald Westlake wrote a bk 1st or just the screenplay, only that on a recent anniversary of the murders, The Star-Ledger newspaper, NJ's largest, wrote that Westlake's dad had lost his job & dressed & left "for work" every day for like 6 mos & hung out at the train station or some such until a friend of his mom's told her. Mr. List left for work every day, too. There was more to the List story (strict Lutheran, wifey had an STD from a sinning 1st hubby, the daughter wanted to be an actress (sinful)), etc. Westlake said he imagined "what if" this guy "started again" b/c his 1st family was a disappointment, rinse repeat? A good movie. Terry O'Quinn went on to greater fame in "Lost," which is great, if you haven't seen it. :-)

    Excellent review as always. I enjoyed it. I seem to remember watching this on really late night TV on a cable channel.
    Here's a suggestion for a review. It's a Brazilian flick called, At Midnight I'll take your soul.
    This is another one I remember from my distant past. It has subtitles. Might be worth a look.

    There's acouple of scenes in this movie where trespassing occurs. One where the brother is roaming around Jerry Blake's/real name Henry Morrisons original family home from the beginning of the film and one where Stephanie crawls through the window of an empty home where Jerry posed as a real estate agent and murdered her doctor in an earlier scene. I know the brother Jim was upset that his sister was murdered in that house but good lord as two grown adults they should know better that trespassing is against the law reguardless of the houses condition whether its just plain empty with nobody living in it or empty and also under a gut renovation or something. If you have interest in going inside an empty home or if it's a home that you used to live in and you want to see how it looks inside when it's being gut renovated ALWAYS just ask permission because it's not worth going in without permission and then getting in alot of trouble with the police and all kinds of shit afterwards. Even if you just get permission from one of the guys working on the house or ask the construction manager of the house you never know what they might tell u and they might even say yes and let u go in. If anything don't go on the weekend because the workers obviously don't work weekends and theres nobody there to ask to go inside so swing by on a weekday.

      ​@@awfulmoviereviews6792well after I first moved out in 2021 during the pandemic it had only been a week or a few days roughly after I officially moved out of my old house and it was just abandoned and at the time no work had been done to it yet and it was just empty and I went to take a peak inside the window and I even still had my key to the house but I couldn't get inside because the landlord had supposedly changed the locks after I moved out. Not sure if I would've gotten in trouble for going in and taking one last walk around and maybe get a video in as well. It was 530 in the morning and I was on my way to work when I stopped over to take a peak in the window and there were no cameras or anything so I don't think anybody would've know I was there even if I was able to get in the house with my key.

    Find the most awful movie out there and do a remake and it's always worse. You would think some creative director would have learned from the first and improved on it...but naaah! It would be like taking one of Mozart's most famous works and making it better.

      Well to be fair, movies like The Thing and The Fly are two prime examples of remakes which surpass the original, I think. But The Stepfather is FOR SURE not one of them lmao.
