Review of The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999) by Filipeneto — 07 Jul 2018

Making a sequel to a famous movie shouldn't be only an excuse to make a movie but that's what we have here. "Carrie" was a remarkable film when it debuted but was being forgotten over time. This was a sequel attempt but any resemblance to "Carrie" is mere coincidence, as it repeats the same story with another girl, Rachael Lang, blending everything with the usual ingredients of the obnoxious teen movies.

And just like "Carrie" or any slasher teen movie, everything ends in carnage, with gore to the liking of teenagers without brains and who use their genitals to think. Boring and predictable are two adjectives we can use for it Frankenstein plot, as strange as the breeding of a mare with a zebra.

The ending is rather exaggerated and forced. The main character, Rachael, never really gets connected with the public, so her life or death is something that doesn't bother us. The film makes a lot of effort to look scary but it's like a magician show: huge show off that brings nothing new.

The actors aren't necessarily good but their work is OK. Conclusion: Its a teenage film that is on the borderline between mediocre and bearable, using the fame of an old film in an inglorious way.
