Review of Carrie (2013) by Bfoore90 — 31 Oct 2016
If you look at what the majority of what most critics were saying about this movie, I would say the majority of them called this movie a "needless remake/reboot." Well if you look at this that way, most remakes/reboots are needless because how many of them actually reach the heights of the originals? Thats right, few don't.
I never got to see the original Carrie so I don't have the classic version to compare this one to but for the sake of remakes, I found this Carrie to be surprisingly well done led by a very astute performance by Chloe Grace-Moretz who nails the innocent, sympathetic, shy girl with the psychotic religious zealot of a mother played by Julianne Moore.
The movie isn't as scary as it is sympathetic as you really feel sorry for Carrie as a victim by the end of the film as she's driven to insanity by sadistic high school bullies and thats the only problem that I seemed to have with it at a whole.
It seems more like a high school revenge flick than a pure horror/scare fest.
