They’re calling it an “Original Thriller Film,” but that title and premise sound awfully familiar…
Tubi will exclusively premiere STEPFATHER on Friday, June 19. The movie, which has no acknowledgment of the classic Joseph Ruben-directed, Terry O’Quinn-starring THE STEPFATHER in its promotion, was directed by Chris Stokes and stars Taye Diggs, Tamar Braxton, Kalani Jules, Jessica Jarrell, Janeline Hayes, Dante Brown, Troy Brookins, TJ Shaw, Koda Kalani Beschen and Elizabeth Dantus. The synopsis: “After years of eradicating any family that falls short of perfection, Darnell [Diggs] believes his new wife Asia [Braxton] and her daughters might finally be the real deal. That is, until tensions rise and they uncover his deadly pattern. Now, getting rid of them won’t be as easy as he planned.”
