As everyone had been expecting Sony Screen Gems Stepfather remake has achieved a PG-13 rating. The MPAA gave the remake this rating for intense sequences of violence, disturbing images, mature thematic material and brief sensuality. It really comes as no surprise as they had been saying all along that they were going to shoot this for the teen audience.

Directed by Nelson McCormack the plot in which “Scary” Jerry has become the stepfather in a family of a beautiful, young widow and a lovely daughter. Unfortunately, Jerry has a very strict definition of the perfect family and his new family just may not be making the cut. When his family starts disappointing him, he’s is willing to kill for the American Dream. Look for it in theaters on October 16th.
