Film-makers need to learn when enough is enough.<\/h3>\n<h3>The acting in this feature is, well it&#8217;s bad, there&#8217;s no way around it really. All this in mind it&#8217;s a shocker that the film clocks in at around and hour and 45 minutes, even with more of a Slasher element than a thriller it got boring very quickly and for it to go on so long was unreal.<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"24973\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/somewhatnerdy.com\/home\/razs-midnight-macabre-horror-review-the-stepfather-3\/captureq-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Captureq.jpg?fit=658%2C502&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"658,502\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Captureq\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Captureq.jpg?fit=300%2C229&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Captureq.jpg?fit=658%2C502&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-24973\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Captureq.jpg?resize=500%2C381\" alt=\"Captureq\" width=\"500\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Captureq.jpg?w=658&amp;ssl=1 658w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Captureq.jpg?resize=300%2C229&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>I&#8217;d steer clear of this entry in the franchise, I give them credit for trying but it just really didn&#8217;t work.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Miscellaneous facts about the film:<\/h3>\n<h3>Season Hubley, who plays Jennifer in this entry in the Stepfather series, had originally been considered for the role of Carol Grayland in Stepfather II.<\/h3>\n<h3>Shot in 25 days.<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Want more Horror?
