Sorry guys but this was better than the original. The original feels like it takes forever and the are only a few scenes worrh watching and the rest of the movie lags, but this was enjoyable right from the first 30 seconds. The only semi likable char in original was Tommy. In this one kids are being kids and bullies, but some DO feel guilt,and most of the adults are personable. Totally worth it.
shareSorry. Julianne Moore is great in everything, but the arm stretching and waving when Carrie moves things makes her look like a cheap magician. First movie was all story. Remake all effects.
shareI agree, I like this better than the original. Now I don't want to take anything away from the original, Brian De Palma wanted to make a great horror film and he did that. But Kimberly Peirce wanted to tell a tragedy, with a bit of horror in it and that to me is where this succeeds. The De Palma did make changes to the novel that I liked, so it didn't bother me that they made it into this movie in fact I feel they were handled better. I do feel the character were better fleshed out, I though Carrie and Margaret's relationship was both heartfelt and disturbing, Sue and Chris were better developed and their motivations better explained. The bullying is better handled, the original only had the shower scene and the blood dump.
It's not perfect either, the rock song at the end was unnecessary and there were more scenes from the book filmed that were cut which is a shame they could've made this look less of a remake and more the re-adaptation it was intended to be. But I do think this is an overall better adaptation and better film as a whole.
This post by catmanbatmansuperman is a tragedy.
shareI liked the original more, but the remake is pretty good as well. As a whole, I'd rank them as such:
1. Carrie (76)
2. The Rage: Carrie 2
3. Carrie (2013)
4. Carrie (2002)

Yep. I agree. This and the 2002 versions are the best. The casting is spot on. The acting is wonderful. I don't care if Sissy won an award, she was Just bad. That accent of hers does not fit Carrie.
shareAlthough you wrote this years ago, I agree. I think it was a bit over the top, but it kept me interested throughout the entire thing, unlike the original.
shareI don't agree that it was better than 1976 version - that version is iconic (and the 2013 borrowed too heavily from it) but it was better than that awful 2002 abomination
