The New Daughter

About This Movie

The New Daughter has this eerie, slow-burn quality that really sets it apart. Luiso Berdejo creates a thick atmosphere of unease, especially with the isolation of the South Carolina setting. You can feel the weight of the history tied to that Indian burial mound, which plays a significant role in the story. Kevin Costner delivers a solid performance as John James, capturing a father's desperation and concern, while the dynamics between him and his children, particularly with Louisa, are compelling. The film explores themes of adolescence and the unknown, and there's a palpable sense of dread that builds as the narrative unfolds. It’s not your typical jump-scare horror; it lingers with its unsettling visuals and practical effects, leaving an impression that hangs on for a while.

Interesting take on parental struggles.Focuses heavily on atmosphere and character dynamics.Not your typical horror fare, more psychological.
