Review of Carrie (2013) by Steve W — 11 Apr 2014

First off, let me start out by saying this isn't a terrible movie. It certainly is not one of the worst horror movie remakes out there, but I can't help but feel disappointed from the 2013 version of Carrie.

First off, this movie does not really add anything new to the mix. It's basically a copy of the original 1976 film, just with a modern setting. I generally am less critical of remakes than most, so the fact that I didn't like this should indicate that it just wasn't that good.

I found myself bored throughout a lot of the movie. I've already seen the original, so why do I need to pay to see the exact movie again? Overall, this wasn't a terrible film, but cannot even remotely compare to the original.

Those that haven't seen the first film might very well enjoy it, but for those who have, you most likely will leave the theater disappointed. This remake was completely unnecessary, and adds absolutely nothing to the mix.

If you've seen the original, then you've basically seen this as it's a hollow copy of it.
