The just divorced writer John James (Kevin Costner) moves to an isolated old house in the woods in Mercy, South Caroline, with his teenager daughter Louisa (Ivana Baquero) and his son Sam (Gattlin Griffith). Louisa misses her mother Isabel and finds an Indian burial mound in the real estate, where she likes to go. Sooner Louisa changes her behavior but her teacher Cassandra Parker (Samantha Mathis) believes that the cause is puberty associated to the new lifestyle in a new place and without the mother. When John learns that a tragedy has happened in the house in the past, he hires the babysitter Mrs. Amworth (Sandra Ellis Lafferty) that was recommended by Cassandra and travels to Charleston to seek out the previous owner Roger Wayne (James Gammon) that tells details of the tragedy. When he returns, Mrs. Amworth is missing and sooner John finds what is happening with his daughter.
"The New Daughter" is a conventional haunted house and possession low- budget film with a dreadful ending. "The New Daughter" seems to be made for TV, with characters and situations not well developed and excessive use of clichés and unreasonable attitudes. Louisa is an unlikable character and it is impossible to feel any empathy for her. I do not recall the last good movie of Kevin Costner and his career is really downhill. My vote is three.
Title (Brazil): "Possuída" ("Possessed")
