Review of The New Daughter (2009) by Derek D — 25 Sep 2010
Yes, ACADEMY AWARD WINNER Kevin Costner stars in this messy wannabe-thriller/horror flick about a writer father who moves to a rural area with his kids after his wife leaves him for another man. Costner is extremely bankable, which explains why he could take any role and make at least some the film's money back on it no matter what.
But, he's only had limited success the last 10-15 years. This movie is then pretty forgettable as it's at times confusing and never gets anywhere except THAT MYSTERIOUS MOUND!!! A PILE OF DIRT!!! Pretty spooky, eh? Long-dead indians? Aliens? What's causing his daughter to be slightly possessed? Who cares? You sit through the entire film and at the end.
..nothing is solved. Direct-to-video sequel anyone? Raise your hands! I bet I know who WON'T be doing the second one!
