Review of Carrie (2013) by Stephen J — 27 Dec 2014

While I found it more believable than the original, I am still unmoved by the plot. I fast forwarded through a good portion of it because it was all too familiar to me. The film disturbs me not because it's a horror flick, but because King's creative juices generate deeply disturbed abusers rather than suspenseful action and breathtaking drama.

I just want to schedule him an appointment to see a therapist, not celebrate his work with a remake. Better acting and direction than the original, but still not my cup of tea.
