Tubi Originals: The Stepmother series

Ah, the Tubi Stepmother series. Where do you even begin? I mean, besides a dumpster fire of straight-up insanity, obviously.

This is the kind of cinematic experience that exists purely for a lazy Saturday afternoon when your brain is already a little fried and you just want to see some wild stuff happen. The plots? Utterly ridiculous. The acting? Somehow both over-the-top and completely wooden. And the "stepmother" herself, Elizabeth Carter, is a psychotic wrecking ball who somehow keeps escaping death and the police to find yet another family to terrorize. You just have to admire the dedication.

The whole thing is pure, unadulterated "sleaze and cheese." It's not trying to be high art. It’s not even trying to be a good movie. It’s trying to be the most bonkers thing you’ve ever seen, and honestly, it succeeds. You have to watch it with a group of friends who are willing to laugh with you, not at you.

So, if you’re looking for a serious, thoughtful thriller, maybe watch something else. But if you're in the mood for a cinematic masterpiece of pure, glorious trash, the Stepmother series is where it's at. You’ll be yelling at the screen, and isn't that what truly great entertainment is all about?
