What to say... this movie is a remake of the original, copying every aspect, but done poorly, cheesy and less credible. In the original movie Carrie was a shy girl with notable low self-steem and very insecure of herself. Devote to christiany, mind-forged by her mother who raised her with fears and beliefs that shaped her mind and personality. In this movie, Carrie stands for herself, has a personal view of things, argues with her mother as if she felt she knew more about the world. Unafraid of her powers as a chliché of an x-men. She extends her hand and uses her power as if Xavier taught her and flys, yes, flyes and rage use it. Fine for an x-men movie, where characters are spectacular and do stupid stands and unrealistic moves, just because they look cool (but nobody would do if actually had those powers) The mother in the original movie was a fanatic religious marvelous played, very believable and coherent to the character. In this movie the mother also behaves strange and incoherent to her part. A religious woman hitting her head against the wall like an autist? Every scene that shapes the movie was the same you will find in the original movie. The remake is the "cool" version, where everything is unrealistic, less apealing and exagerated and forced to make a scene that feels out of place. My advice, watch the original 1st, then this one and make your own conclussions

This movie wasn't a masterpiece, but it wasn't bad. I don't like it as a horror. It's not a very scary one, and the 'scary' parts were mostly gore and I didn't find it scary at all. I must say that the drama part was really good. You could feel sorry for the character and expirience the pain she did a little bit. It was also good as a psychological story. The movie shows us manny trials of a teen girl's life in an unusual and dark way. As she begins to take part in scenarios she was kept away from her whole life changes a lot. She was never dumb and crazy, but she seemed to be because of her mother being abusive and crazy. As she discovers life and that she can be happy and is strong she starts acting like she always wanted to and she does well. When it's all taken away from her in a short time after she finally gets it she becomes crazy and just breaks. It's not the best horror and nothing out of ordinary, but it shows us in a really fresh and extrem way a really harsh reality of teenagers. Sorry for my english. I'm not a native speaker.

This is almost exact copycat of the 1976 movie with the only difference being addition of cellphones. The director claims that she created a new version of the movie with a new interpretation instead of copying the 1976 version but this is not true at all. There was really no point in filming this movie at all. Apart from that, the movie was OK.

Just watched this and couldn't watch it all - - appalling to say the least. The original was way way way better, and still can scare the wits out of you today. The movie people today do not know how to make a really scary movie, they get too caught up with sex and aesthetics and cheap affects and parlor tricks when we have better CGI today to make it great, but they overlook the acting abilities. These actors are horrid. The Lead - she's good but she's not great, and she's still bubble-gum actress and has some work to improve, but Sissy was way way better and more convincing along with her cast. You don't get drawn into the story, you don't get drawn into the characters, it's like someone watched Final Destination movies and took pages out of those movies -- horrible. The acting is B at best. The storyline is too quick, you don't get engaged, they made a popcorn bubble-gum joke movie in the end which ruined the Carrie Franchise.
