If you loved The Stepfather, try The Good Son

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Joseph Ruben, and they sit in Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Stepfather, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Good Son is

A rural home at dusk, a child's swing creaks. A young boy befriends his cousin, but a dark presence emerges. Joseph Ruben tackles the horrors of juvenile psychosis.
