The new daughter - 2009

Bah, I don't know. It's a sort of horror movie, but not a stomach revolting one, which is fine by me, I don't like throwing up movies, but not a really scary one either. It starts slow, with Dad (Kevin Costner) recently divorced, moving into the new home with his daughter Louise and his little son Sam. It seems to become interesting when they find a mould in the field that attracts Louise in a strange way, but it wasn't really. I should have known as soon as he found the cat dead, eaten, outside. Something mysterious connects the mould to the teenage girl, she keeps going there and starts acting weird, digging holes, sleepwalking, that kind of stuff. Next thing you know you hear strange noises and the nanny is killed, then the teacher replacing her; a cop investigating the matter is taken out of his car by some strange creature we barely see. A professor investigating moulds say of a strange, dying race that used a human girl to survive. Being a male race, they needed a queen-bee. They tried this before, and a man set fire to his own house to burn his daughter, saying she was not his daughter anymore. Dad now goes looking for her. We are near the end of the movie. He finds a hole leading inside, deep down the mould, and he goes in. He finds Louise and tries to save her, but those creatures are all around them. She says 'don't leave me' and he doesn't. He sets a fire and stays there to die with her, apparently. The movie ends with little Sam outside looking at the fire, and it might be a suitable ending for this movie, but no, they thought it might be scarier to have one of the creature come out. The boy sees him and we hear it. The end.
Basically all deaths were in vain. The creatures weren't destroyed nor saved. Ok, I'm not a good judge of horror movies because I don't like them very much to start with, so I'll just say: it didn't do anything for me. There was a moment of intriguing, scary mystery, but it wasn't develop in a way I liked.
