Very Cool!!!

Too many fans seem to be blown away

Really Surprised!

Nice effects though.

The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999)** (out of 4) After the suicide of her best friend, Rachel Lang (Emily Bergl) realizes that it was due to some football players playing a "game" where they sleep with girl they see beneath them in order to get points. Around this time councilar Sue Snell (Amy Irving) begins to see something in Rachel that she saw years earlier in Carrie White. Soon Rachel has a star football player (Jason London) after her but another group has other plans for her.THE RAGE: CARRIE 2 is a rather confusing film on many levels. The obvious thing is why was a sequel even needed to the Brian DePalma masterpiece? This film is the perfect example of why I always say remakes are a lot more original than sequels because this thing here has very little connection to the original movie and what's here is downright stupid on many logical areas. This so-called sequel is basically just a poor rehash of all of the events in the film film, which is really too bad because so much more could have been done with this thing but sadly we're left with an incredibly dull and rather lifeless horror film.What made CARRIE so wonderful is that it was basically a teenage drama with some very strong horror elements. There's really no drama going on with this film because the screenplay just has one cliché after another and what's worse is that so much of it is boring or just unbelievable. Not for a second was the "game" being played by the football players something interesting or evil enough to where you get drawn into the story. What's even sillier is the Rachel character and her powers that really don't come out until the end. You never really feel too bad for her character but then again the film doesn't try to make you even like her. What's worse is the Sue Snell character, which is only here so that they can call this CARRIE 2.The performances are a mixed bag as well, although I will say, for the most part, that everyone is good enough considering what type of film this is. I thought Bergl was effective in the lead role but, to be honest, she really doesn't have too much to work with or do. Irving fits into her role nicely, although it's certainly poorly written. Jason London gives the basic Jason London performance for whatever that's worth.Fans of the original CARRIE were letdown because there really wasn't much of a connection. Fans of horror films from this era didn't get the connection to the original. In the end, both sets of fans lost as THE RAGE: CARRIE 2 is just an all around disappointment. The film certainly isn't horrible but when you try to follow up a masterpiece you better be something more than what's offered here.

It's bad enough that Carrie had its awful remakes in 2002 and 2013, but if you look at all four Carrie movies, you'll discover one of the worst movies ever. Just like the Firestarter sequel (Rekindled), this one travels way too far from the original plot, the characters are preppy high school students and the soundtrack is horrible, as is the acting.The Rage follows telekinetic outcast and killer Carrie White's half-sister, Racheal, as she discovers her own horrible powers. As a child her mom was committed to a mental hospital so now Racheal lives with her trailer-trash foster parents and her only friend has committed suicide, leaving her alone. Racheal's beloved basset hound, Walter, is squashed by a car, and afterwards Racheal begins to learn that the urban legend of Carrie White, who wrecked the town in the Seventies, was indeed a true story, and soon everyone at school is coming face-to-face with Racheal's telekinetic rage.There are so many cliché horror elements in this movie that it's not even funny. I cared nothing about what happened to any of the characters, the guys were all sleazy sex maniacs and the girls were all snotty Barbie clones or emo teens, nothing unique about anyone. For some reason Racheal has a heart-shaped tattoo, no idea why, and when she uses her powers, vines grow out of it. Why? Like I said, no idea whatsoever, just a pointless waste of the movie's budget.The only bright side to this pathetic load of garbage is that Amy Irving, who played the original Sue Snell in the 1976 Carrie, comes back to play the role of Sue Snell again as an adult. This movie reminded me more of The Haunting of Molly Hartley than it did of Carrie.My advice? Don't watch The Rage unless you're incredibly bored.

Sometimes in a bad movie I can spot a diamond in the rough. 'The Rage: Carrie 2' has one or two diamonds and a lot of ruffage. There really isn't any reason for the movie to be a sequel to Brian DePalma's classic 'Carrie' except to package and sell it under a brand name. A little trimming of the screenplay and the movie could have worked just as well.The movie stars Emily Bergl as Rachel who has a connection to the character played by Sissy Spacek in the earlier film which is so lame that I shudder to even reveal it. Rachel is a loner who lives in a rotten foster home and is very unpopular at school.One day her friend kills herself after being jilted by a jock in a cruel sexual betting pool put in motion by the football players. This event in itself would have made for a very real story but the movie isn't that understanding and we get a grinding instant replay of the events from 'Carrie'.Rachel is telekinetic (just like Spacek) and her teacher (Amy Irving reprising her role as Sue Snell) notices and grows concerned. She's seen this before and makes it a personal mission to keep it from happening again. The most popular boy in school asks Rachel out and really begins to fall for her even though his friends think that he is just playing game with her.Rachel tries to make trouble for Jesse who drove her friend to suicide and the football team reacts by trying to suck up to her so that they can invite her to a party and humiliate her. We know what happens next, the blood and guts climax with the kids screaming and trying to get away as objects fly through the air and land mostly in their heads (those that aren't lopped off anyway). But that isn't the dumbest scene in the movie. That gem goes to a completely pointless scene in which Irving takes Rachel out to the sight of the old high school and it's still a pile of burnt rubble.The movie has its merits. Emily Bergl is a very relaxed actress who stays focused on the moment. I looked at her several times during the movie when another character was talking; she wasn't reacting, she was listening. I hope to see her in a much better movie because I think she has real talent.I could imagine pieces of this story working without the guise of a 'Carrie' sequel. I can imagine the story of a girl dealing with the fact that a cruel betting pool among jocks drove her friend to suicide. I can imagine how the movie would deal with her friend trying to make some sense of all of it. I could imagine how a sensitive jock would start to have feelings for her despite his friend's objections. Just clear out the clutter in this movie's screenplay and you have a decent movie.I shouldn't think so much in a movie like this but a movie this routine gives me a lot of time to do that. Sorry

Rachel Lang finds herself in a fowl mood after her best friend commits suicide. So what can a faux 'goth' half-sister of Carrie White do? Let the telekinesis fly in this unnecessary belated (by a few decades) sequel to a iconic horror classic.This film might've fared better had it been a stand alone film rather than a sequel to a beloved classic. However this IS a sequel (a point that this movie with constant callbacks to the aforementioned classic NEVER lets you forget) This is one of the two main minuses of the film (the other being Zachery Ty Bryan acting quite poorly) All is not awful as Rachel coming into her full revenge in the third act is entertaining, although not enough to sit through the rest of the film in my mind. That being said, this film IS STILL a million times better than the theatrical remake of Carrie.
