Stepfather 2 (1989)

In Stepfather 2, the man once known for his picture-perfect family facade is back, having escaped from a mental institution. He reinvents himself under a new identity and moves to a quiet suburban neighborhood, aiming to start over with another ideal family. This time, he sets his sights on a single mother and her young son, presenting himself as the charming and dependable figure she 's been missing. But as he inserts himself deeper into their lives, cracks begin to show. His obsession with order, control, and the idea of a perfect family slowly starts to spiral into something much darker. Anyone who poses a threat to his fantasy ?nosy neighbors, suspicious friends, or inconvenient exes 'suddenly finds themselves in danger. As his true nature resurfaces, the people around him start to piece together who he really is, but by then, it might be too late. The tension builds as the mother begins to question the man she 's let into her life, unaware of just how far he 's willing to go to protect his version of ?happily ever after. ?
