Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Stepfather (1987)

You've heard of both serial killers and serial monogamists... well how about serial monogamists who serially kill their partners?! It's such a simple concept: guy yearns for a perfect family but wants to fast forward by wooing a family with a missing "dad" piece. Then, when things get difficult, he moves on in dramatic fashion.

The acting of the daughter -- whom, I was happy to note due to a nude scene, was actually in her 20s -- was a definite problem and the story has very little flesh on it. But the biggest issue was that it's so darn predictable.
