The premise

After escaping a Puget Sound institution, "Stepfather" Gene Clifford alters his appearance with plastic surgery and takes on another new identity: Keith Grant. Moving to Deer View, California, Keith falls for a divorced school principal, arousing the suspicions of her wheelchair-bound, computer-savvy son.

Horror Vault's take

A notorious serial killer reinvents himself once again — this time with a new face courtesy of plastic surgery — and sets his sights on a fresh family in a quiet California town. He woos a divorced school principal, weaving himself into her life with practiced ease, but her sharp and resourceful son senses something deeply wrong with the new man of the house. This third entry in the Stepfather franchise trades on creeping domesticity and the horror lurking behind a wholesome smile. The tension builds as suspicion and danger close in from both sides.
