Review of Carrie (2013) by Darren B — 17 Oct 2015

I watched this movie last night and found it more enjoyable than the original.

Chloe's interpretation of Carrie was more human than Sissy Spaceks version. Chloe's had more empathy to the people who were trying to be friendly towards her, while Sissy's one was more cold-hearted and "zombie like". I especially liked how the modern one dispatched of the bully, it seemed more cathartic than simply having the car explode and tumble away from her as it was in the original.

The remorse of the character Sue Snell seemed more authentic as well, and even after all of the horrors of the Prom night, I'd think that she would still have a soft spot for Carrie. She seemed not as horrified as the original movie portrayed.

Also I liked the fact that there were some other survivors from the prom, it wasn't as bloodthirsty as the original.

I give the movie 4 out of 5, as it was more enjoyable than the original.
