Review of Carrie (2013) by Titusprime — 07 Nov 2013

As a true fan of the original, I pretty much expected this to be trash, but here is a big "Good Job Team!" to the production staff on Carrie 2013.

Chloë Grace Moretz does an incredible job channeling the modern Carrie and bringing the character to life in a way that is genuine and thoughtful. For such an attractive young woman to play a high school pariah is nothing new. Moretz radiates an aura of introversion, even as the camera is focusing in on her you can feel her very spirit trying to hide and not be noticed by the world that is so strange and cruel to her.

Who could play Ms White today and terrify me as much as Piper Laurie had in the 70's; Julianne Moore.

All I will say is that he gasping ragged prayers still make my skin crawl. Thank you Ms Moore for a fantastic job.

I do have one small complaint: This film had an amazing opportunity within it to show people the intense pain of bullying, both online and at school. I feel if they had embraced that issue this film would have been a 10; as is it feels like they glossed over it.
