Perplexing. Costner must have owed someone a favor to be in this overly familiar horror vehicle. The kids are both pretty terrible, as child actors usually are.
First, this film is rather stylishly shot and directed--probably much better than the ridiculous B-movie storyline deserved. But, the thing that strikes me most is that Kevin Costner signed a contract to participate in this movie after reading the script! I'm not even a Costner fan, yet I'm saddened that his career has taken such a dump! All of that being said, "The New Daughter" is acceptable enough if you're in the mood for campy B-movie horror. . . AND I DO MEAN B MOVIE!!
Call me crazy, but I rather enjoyed "The New Daughter" despite its silly premise and dopey title. The film manages to mix supernatural and creature-feature horror within a satisfying drama, and I found it to be unsettling throughout. Kevin Costner is one of the most underrated actors in the business, but he has only improved with age. A flawed B-movie this may be, but it is well-executed and could have been a moderate box office hit with proper marketing and a better title.
a bit slow on the build up, but once it gets there it's actually not a bad supernatural thriller flick. maybe the premise is a bit on the silly side, but the monsters are scary enough and the climax satisfied me. that ending was pretty decent too.
"Not good" fails to do this film justice. "Bad" could even be described as a misnomer. It's no wonder this never made the theatres and went straight to DVD. Perhaps Kevin Costner is entering the twilight of his career as an actor, considering he would appear in a pale of shite like "The New Daughter."
Wow, what a horrible movie! I love dopey genre films as much as the next man, but, "Oh-em-gee - i thought he'd never leave," (Alec Baldwin, "It's Complicated") this was bad!
