This is one of the best horror movie of the last decade. Carrie (1976) is better. The Rage Carrie 2 is better. Carrie (2013) is better. But still this a great film. It has a great story line. It also has great special effects. It also has great acting. 5.5 is a good rating. But this is such a good movie that 5.5 is underrating it. See this movie. It is a great movie. It is very scary. I give 8 out of 10. Because it a very good movie. If this movie does not scary you then no movie will. I need more more lines and I am running out of things so say. I am going to repeat myself now. Great movie great movie great great movie great movie. See it see it see ti see it see it see it see it. It is one of the scariest movie from the last decade.

Based on Stephen King's novel and a TV remake of the 1976 original, Angela Bettis stars as Carrie, a shy high school girl who is a subject of bullying at her school and abuse by her religiously-fanatic mother Margaret White (Patricia Clarkson). Carrie later discovers she has telekinesis, and gets pushed to the edge on prom night by a humiliating prank, giving the perpetrators a lesson they will learn the hard way.Filmed with much suspense and horror, Angela really gave the Carrie character her own unique touch, giving her a even more fragile, vulnerable and timid personality than Sissy Spacek did in the original. Emilie de Ravin and Katherine Isabelle play mean girls Chris Hargensen and Tina Blake, giving them very snotty, cruel and condescending character takes. Jesse Cadotte gave a very sinister and sly portrayal of Billy Nolan; Tobias Mehler gave a more touching performance as Tommy Ross; and Rena Sofer gave a dramatic performance as Miss Desjarden. Patricia Clarkson didn't give as much as a wired and downright crazy portrayal of Margaret White as Piper Laurie did in the original, but she did portray her as someone who is disturbed and depressed.One element I like better in this movie is that the characters had more interaction and/or connection with Carrie, as you could sense more of Chris and Tina's tormenting of her and Miss Desjarden sticking-up for her and communicating with her more (as in the interaction scene during the prom night). You could also sense more of Sue Snell's (Kandyse McClure) remorse and understanding towards Carrie.Another element I like better in this movie is that the prom scene is much more longer and chaotic and has more carnage than the original. I also thought Carrie's revenge on her tormentors were much more explicit and forceful in this movie.Lastly, I like that this movie has more scenes that connect the course of events more closely and that made the plot were relevant, like the police investigation and interview scenes and the one-on-one scenes between Carrie and Chris, and Carrie and Sue. ***spoiler ahead*** I just wished some of the characters who were nicer towards Carrie at the end met a better fate during the prom scene*** Overall, it's an exciting horror story and one of the more tastefully done TV movies I've seen.Grade B+

Carrie White is a lonely, shy teenage girl with unbelievable telekinetic powers, and is slowly being pushed to the edge of insanity by frequent bullying from classmates at her school, and her own mother. Soon, she discovers she has these telekinetic powers; and when the most gruesome of gags is played on her on prom night, rage takes over....Obviously as the film is made for TV, and it's back 11 years, it looks very cheap, and the special effects are tragic, like something you'd expect to see on the SyFy channel.But overlook all of this, and you have a very, very faithful adaptation of the classic story, which doesn't taint the original, makes the remake look even more pointless than what it is, and has the inclusion of a police enquiry.Bettis makes this movie. Her portrayal of Carrie is one of total desolation, and you cannot help but empathise with her. She makes you realise that the story isn't just about about a woman who can move things with her mind, its about a girl who has everything against her from day one.She gets no reprieve at school, or at work, and when she fights back, she ends up having to vanish (in this telling anyway). This version, along with De Palmas masterpiece, show you how much of a depressing and sad story Carrie actually is.Its a little too long in places, and it could have easily been trimmed to the 100 minute mark, but its watchable, and Bettis is wonderful.Well worth seeing.

I have also been reading the book, so i gave this movie another watch. I really enjoyed - Min-in -series, that turned into a movie, I thought it add a lot of decent stuff, that missing from the first movie.I really liked the whole movie and liked the interview parts of the movie as well, they well made and pace wasn't to bad at all.Some of the effect of the movie, were a little odd in this but i don't think there were that bad at all.The acting was really good from most of the cast, some wooden acting from some cast. i was a little disappointing they didn't follow the book again and I didn't really like how this movie ended at all. This was decent movie 6 out of 10, not as good as the first one but this a is a lot more closer to the book!
