Carrie
Synopsis
A reimagining of the classic horror tale about Carrie White, a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother, who unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom.
Okay i am late to the table with this as its been out a while but still wanted to watch it.
Having seen the original a few years back thought i would give this a punt, the original was ok for a piece in its time however it doesn't hold up to much today. You would think could be better, however its just updated and has the same feel but modern the only touch i did like which was different was at the end instead of her reaching through the grave she reaches through sue's stomach. Nice
The casting was pretty good with Julianne Moore playing the mother and Chloe Grace Moretz as the daughter carrie, all other castings for bitchie girls and jocks are nobodies to be fair but played there parts well. What was weird was seeing Chloe as a vulnerable character as opposed to her Hit-girl character who is so badass and doesn't have soft side, hopefully this has opened her up more roles in films in future.
So overall the remake was good but the film just ain't that great.
