Andrew Barker Variety Nowhere near as bad as its invisible marketing strategy might suggest. But that's not to imply that it's worth seeking out. Dec 30, 2009 Full Review Ethan Gilsdorf Boston Globe Does tread with clunky boots upon well-worn horror movie territory. Every ominous sign is preceded by full moons, slithering fog, and thunderclaps. Rated: 2/4 Dec 22, 2009 Full Review Paul Lê Bloody Disgusting The director certainly relies on one too many clichés in the process, but once the training wheels are taken off, The New Daughter grows into a bleak example of how broken homes allow demons to come in through the cracks. Rated: 3/5 Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Simon Gallagher What Culture Unfortunately for all of the good work, like the good-looking cinematography, and Costner's performance, it doesn't quite land the punch it needs to stand out as one of the better horrors of recent years. Rated: 2/5 Jan 2, 2012 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Frustratingly uneven... Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 19, 2010 Full Review Brian Orndorf DVDTalk.com It's far from perfect, but The New Daughter is elegantly crafted (cinematography by Checco Varese is gorgeous) and mindful of tension, not just splatter, sneaking around pleasingly. Rated: B Apr 25, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Marty H So.. Kevin Costner...WHY?? This movie had enough cliches to fill a cruise ship and so many plot holes and illogical action i was dumbfounded this Oscar nominated movie star somehow thought this was worth his time. It was absolutely not worth MY time. Not only ridiculous in story but ultimately depressing. Allegories from critics connecting the story to the fallout from a broken home is so bizarre,it was just dumb....for me one of the worst ive watched in years. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review Nad B Uuuh this movie has One supersick Scene Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Jelisije J A father moves his family into a new house and must battle whatever is possessing his daughter........the ending saved this mediocre film to a memorable mediocre film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Linda W I love Kevin Costner and thought to myself, it must be good! Right? I was left completely disappointed with the ending and felt that it was a waste of time to watch, Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Bahad j This idea of ​​the filmmaker made the movie more accessible to more people. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Marilynn C I can’t believe I sat through this sometimes engaging film to be so let down by ultimate evil destroying the protagonists! Don’t we have enough of this in real life right now? What an awful waste of cinema! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
