AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

GL84 Going through a mortifying experience at school, a lonely teenager hounded by her overly religious mother finds her growing telekinetic powers are able to help her seek revenge on the rest of her classmates when they humiliate her at the high school prom.While it's not as significant as the original, this is a rather fun remake that manages to really entertain when it tries. One of the best features is that the film is set-up investigating after-the- fact and questioning individuals about the incidents which are then played out as the recollections described. This allows the film a lot of leeway in keeping this moving since it can switch out perspectives to keep the film on-pace which is a fresh feel that differs from the original and adds a level of realism as it's conducted using questions to prompt the flashbacks of what happened and makes the film somewhat enjoyable, even as the slow-realization that he was wrong all along and is then forced into trying to get the truth about the matter. Another good plus is the fact that the film decides to keep in the key sequence from the original, the dawning of the feminine changes that are played for purely traumatic effect, as it's done here with the incident being caught by the entire locker room which brings the trauma even more, and the follow-ups are just as good. The main thing with this one, though, is that the prom at a lot of fun, and they make up most of what makes it so good. The prank itself is handled-well, with the full-on humiliation of the incident coming across as needed and makes for appropriate retaliation, as well as giving some striking visuals at times. The deaths and destruction come about during the chaos, and these are quite fun seeing all the tables flying everywhere and debris littering the floor, along with the internal damage caused that makes for some really good times throughout when it puts them into action, all capped off with the spectacular shot of the entire structure collapsing whilst still in flames. The last plus to this is a really good action-packed finale, where she's on the loose and rampaging through town, generally causing havoc in a never-ending series of spectacular scenes that are just all-out fun to watch. These here are the film's good points as there was some flaws to this one. One of the biggest ones is that this one certainly does feel it's length, even though there's a rather nice idea of the detective premise. The fact that this one is well-over two hours is certainly obvious, and a lot of this is due to the finale, which is somewhat problematic and the film's last big flaw. Frankly, as much fun as the rampage through town is, the destruction of the gym makes for a much more satisfying conclusion as the revenge is carried out and she is still loose with them unsure of what to make of the situation. That makes for a much-more satisfying conclusion, and what's worse, they also manage to include the final confrontation with the mother that no one could know for sure how it went down since none of the key principles recall the experience and the one who does discovers it after-the-fact, messing around the whole situation even further. These here are the film's problems.Rated Unrated/PG-13: Violence, Language, Nudity and mild animal violence.

ersinkdotcom In the made-for-TV movie "Carrie," our young naive outcast (Angela Bettis) is tormented by her fellow high-school students. She learns of her telekinesis and begins using it as a tool for vengeance.The 2002 version of Stephen King's "Carrie" is a lot better than it could've been. It was already fighting an uphill battle trying to recapture the same tense and gloriously haunting magic the 1976 movie did. Weak performances and cheesy dialogue by many of the actors doesn't help the situation. However, Angela Bettis's incredible performance as the title character virtually redeems any weakness shown by the other cast members. The one thing that hinders this update is the TV-quality production and cinematography. That being said, the special effects are a lot better than they should've been for a TV-movie made in the early 2000s.Although 2002's "Carrie" is rated TV-14 and includes some questionable content for younger viewers. There's brief nudity, although nothing graphic is shown. The scenes are from the back or a profile of Carrie lying in the fetal position in the shower. There are adult situations, violence and gore, mild profanity, alcohol and smoking, and frightening and intense scenes.If you give the update a chance, you'll find that it really isn't as bad as history remembers it.

TheBlueHairedLawyer 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.

aidan 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
