Best movie ever!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

If you ask me which of the three Carrie adaptations are the best, I'll always stick by the side of the 1976 original (don't bother watching the 2013 remake or the 90's sequel The Rage, unless you want to induce vomiting or something). So what about this 2002 TV version of Carrie? Well, it is seriously lacking what the original had, but it beats the 2013 remake by a long shot! The plot is the classic Carrie legend by Stephen King; Carrie is a girl striving to be accepted in high school but hated and mocked by her peers, pitied by her teachers and abused by her crazy religious-nut mom. But Carrie unleashes her potential for destruction when the bullying goes too far.I liked the acting choices. No one can beat Sissy Spacek from the original but Angela Bettis did a much better job than that horrible Chole Moretz from the 2013 remake. Patricia Clarkson wasn't bad as Margaret White. The soundtrack wasn't very good at all (waaaaay too modern) but they did add an ending twist that differs from the original plot, one that caught me off-guard - Carrie survives and becomes a fugitive, with the help of her classmate, Sue! I wish they hadn't introduced Carrie to the internet, that was a dumb idea. Just because the internet exists now doesn't mean it needs to be in EVERY movie.Overall it's not the best adaptation, but certainly not the worst and kinda fun to watch if you're a Carrie fan or were unhappy with Carrie dying in the original.

to be honest I like this film yeah no joke either. its campy and it tells the story really good but I still cant decide which mother was the more psychotic there's this one scene that's kind of creepy is when Carrie crushes her moms heart Kind of crazy. and we all know what the story is already since this is the first remake then the one from 2013. this one is cheesy but I like it I know you might be thinking I have a bad choice but I don't think I do I like monster movies not really romance but that's my point this movie isn't all that bad its great stuff it wasn't meant to be released I can understand that to the fullest I still think this doesn't top the 70s version and I'm serious about that also look if you don't want to don't if you're curious just go for it you might not like it yet you might like it. and everyone has a different opinion about certain movies

The original 1976 Carrie is one of my favourite movies, period. i recently watched the remake with Chloe Moretz but I had a lot of issues with that, namely that they simply got the script of the original and did a technology update with it. I watched this movie and... While I can't praise it as a good movie this is not without some benefits.Based on the knowledge I'll assume you have of the DePalma film, this one is not a complete rehash. I prefer remakes when they are like this because they can offer a different interpretation on a story that has been told already. This one actually does a decent job of it in some areas while in others it fails miserably.To explain in detail, Carrie's telekinesis when she was a child brought down a dozen meteorites on her house in this version. It's over the top and it only gets uttered ONCE after that. You would think that even one meteorite would interest the authorities, a dozen on the exact same few square feet of land at the exact same time would arouse a lot of interest because I see that as nigh on impossible and I know f#ck all about astronomy. You have a few scenes like that which really dampens the movie.Another big problem is that none of the supposed High School kids look like High School kids. They look like College kids if they're a part of any schooling system. Don't get me wrong some of them do throw in a decent performance now and then while others do go a little bit over the top.Now with that said they do a few things better than the 2013 remake. For example, Angela Bettis looks and acts just like someone going through a lot of abuse. She isn't anything on Sissy Spacek but she is miles above Chloe Moretz. With that said She doesn't look all that threatening in the prom massacre scene.One interesting touch to this movie is the fact that it's all told out like a series of police interrogations. That could actually work and it does bring this movie a certain style to it. If there was any complaint with this it's that some of what they say they can't possibly know.I also liked the ending of this (well not like, more find it interesting), the point of Carrie in my eyes is that a monster is created in an abused girl by the environment that she lives in only to die with her mother out of regret. Here I kind of like the idea of Carrie surviving. Usually something like this would have me flip tables but here, I kind of wanted to see where they were going with it.With some of the scene re-enactments in this version... They're weird, that's all I can say. The shower scene where Carrie starts menstruating in the other 2 versions kind of made sense as to why they were bullying her about it, because she thought she was dying and at age 17, that kind of seems ridiculous. Here? They just bully her because she's menstruating. ??? ...So out of the Carrie remakes I have seen is this finally one worth watching? Maybe. I like that it was trying to be it's own thing, I liked the idea of the changed ending and the people handling the way Carrie looked did a marvelous job to name a few complimentary things. But it drags, a lot. The over-the-top scenes are far in-between to watch for a laugh, some of the scene re-enactments are weird and the High Schoolers look old enough to be in College. If you want to see how someone handles the project of adapting Stephen King's novel differently (the key word being differently), check it out of curiosity.

I have also been reading the book, so i gave this movie another watch. I really enjoyed - Min-in -series, that turned into a movie, I thought it add a lot of decent stuff, that missing from the first movie.I really liked the whole movie and liked the interview parts of the movie as well, they well made and pace wasn't to bad at all.Some of the effect of the movie, were a little odd in this but i don't think there were that bad at all.The acting was really good from most of the cast, some wooden acting from some cast. i was a little disappointing they didn't follow the book again and I didn't really like how this movie ended at all. This was decent movie 6 out of 10, not as good as the first one but this a is a lot more closer to the book!
