This movie wasn't a masterpiece, but it wasn't bad. I don't like it as a horror. It's not a very scary one, and the 'scary' parts were mostly gore and I didn't find it scary at all. I must say that the drama part was really good. You could feel sorry for the character and expirience the pain she did a little bit. It was also good as a psychological story. The movie shows us manny trials of a teen girl's life in an unusual and dark way. As she begins to take part in scenarios she was kept away from her whole life changes a lot. She was never dumb and crazy, but she seemed to be because of her mother being abusive and crazy. As she discovers life and that she can be happy and is strong she starts acting like she always wanted to and she does well. When it's all taken away from her in a short time after she finally gets it she becomes crazy and just breaks. It's not the best horror and nothing out of ordinary, but it shows us in a really fresh and extrem way a really harsh reality of teenagers. Sorry for my english. I'm not a native speaker.
I just finally re-watched it after 4 years when it released. First off, I love the original "Carrie", I also thought the new one is still an excellent remake. I thought it was amazing, well done, quite pleasant, touching, heart-breaking film. I liked Chloë Moretz's performance and she did a fine job. She gave a better Carrie role than from the original because I consider that Sissy Spacek was way too old for the role which she was one of the main problems I have with the original, but she gave a fine performance too. I loved the original Margaret, Carrie's mother who is obsessed with her religious beliefs, I also thought Julianne Moore was fantastic in it. She gives a creepy performance. Her messy hair made her character even more creepier. I liked the prom scene better than from the original because it is a bit stronger scene and I didn't like the way they put two screens from original prom scene. I thought the special effects and CGI weren't bad, it looked really nice. I don't accept any complains about the story, it was still good as the original, but has lower rating because horror remakes are hard to like and always compare it with the old movie. Carrie (2013) is definitely, in my opinion, one of the best horror remakes of the last 10 years. My rating: 10/10.
Carrie (2013) is a supernatural horror film from the united states of this film directed by Kimberly Peirce and is a remake of the classic horror movie titled the same Carrie (1976) This film is lifted from a novel by the king of horror: Stephen King Carrie 16-year-old girl living with His mother is very religious and old-fashioned, at school. Carrie is always bullied by her classmates, but there is a kind teacher who always support Carrie, Carrie realized that he has the power of Telekinesis that is the power that can move objects from a distance, Tragedy happened at night Prom night. Carrie is stroked by a very evil girl .. Carrie is covered in blood .. Carrie fumes and kills and locks up the school building, the school building is burned down she kills the person who hurt her feelings, her mother attacks her and Carrie kills her mother and destroys her house .. Carrie also Died with his mother.Carrie (2013) is a pretty entertaining movie for me, I have not watched the original version of this movie, it's quite entertaining when Carrie who is at the prom night party gets furious and expels her telekinesis power to punish those who have hurt and destroy her feelings.
More than likely an unpopular opinion, and more than likely people will call me insane or media illiterate for this review. I admit to being insane; I tend to like movies that a majority of people don't. But hear me out.Carrie, starring a young Chloë Grace Moretz as the title character, is a remake of the 1976 film of the same name, and they are both based on Stephen King's hit horror novel of the same name (it also spawned a 2002 TV film that never expanded into a series). I admit to the 2013 adaptation to being the only form of 'Carrie' I ever watched or read, and that's probably why I love this movie. I don't know very much about the other adaptations, but I'm sure that if I did/was a major fan of the series(?), I would have similar opinions to the actual fans. I do, however, know that people are disappointed by this movie because there was a lot cut out (there is/was a petition for an extended cut to be released) and by the fact that Carrie looks nothing like she was described in the book. But, let's be honest, who's gonna watch a movie with a hideous main character?The reason I love this movie so much is because I'm completely new to it (and even the horror genre), so I know nothing about it so I have nothing to be salty about for this movie in regards to the original material. And I'm almost sure that many other people who are new to Carrie and horror would feel the same, if not similar.As a horror movie, it has plenty of tropes that you'd expect in one: some sort of curse, teens being b*tches, teens having sex. Actually... let me rephrase that: some sort of curse, and teens being teens. Plus a ton of death and blood. As a movie itself - imagine it as it's own stand-alone movie - it's got a character you can feel emotions for, it's got characters you can hate, it's got an antagonist, etc... I'm just blabbering at this point, let me get straight to the main reasons.The movie is dark, brooding and bloody. Carrie's shyness, creepiness and fear are portrayed brilliantly by Moretz and Julianne Moore makes an excellent religious, self-harming, insane mother. And the movie puts a lot of focus on their relationship, but not too much so it's just another family drama. And a lack of jump-scares (or at least it's not reliant on them, let alone major ones) brings a welcome feeling to what most horror movies were in 2013. It's just creepy, and still makes you feel very uncomfortable at many parts - particularly when Margaret White (Carrie's mother) scratches herself or stabs herself in the thigh. I felt many emotions and feelings while watching this movie (excluding my newly found celebrity crush on Moretz) and I'm pretty sure that's what the goal was. As a completely new take on the original film and the source book - or if you're just viewing any 'Carrie' material for the first time - you really don't know what to expect. Of course, though, the highlight of the film is obviously the prom scene. Where the death starts. More than halfway into the film, Tommy dies after being accidentally hit in the head by a bucket after a prank gone wrong after Carrie get's drenched in blood (as a result of the prank) after he and Carrie get nominated prom King and Queen. ("After" is my word of the day now) That's when sh*t goes wrong, Carrie fully embraces the powers (which I have forgotten to mention throughout this whole review - she has telekinetic powers which she discovers) and goes "f*ck you" on all the teens and some teachers (while saving/sparing Miss Desjardin - because she was kind to her - before electrocuting most survivors). It's notably more brutal and exciting than the other prom scene adaptations (I have seen those particular parts on YouTube). Blah, blah, blah. I can't go on too much as I'm limited to so many words, a lot of people will probably disagree with me provided anyone even reads this review of a 4 year old movie. All I do know is that the end (with Sue Snell providing a statement as a voice-over as she places a rose on Carrie's grave) makes me want a sequel so f*cking bad... I'm probably gonna cry if they don't make one. Carrie is still alive, f*cking do something with the fact! Ugh... anyway. I recommend this movie to any new horror movie goers, anyone new to 'Carrie' (most people would recommend the book and 1976 movie first and I wouldn't blame them). I know that a lot of people wouldn't agree with me, but a 48% score on Rotten Tomatoes (44% Audience score) does tell me that there are some people that can appreciate this movie.To conclude: This has definitely reached the list of one of my favourite movies (despite the fact that I'm not a complete horror movie fan - mainly because of jump-scares and their reliance of them). I'm NOT gonna watch the 1976 version (might watch the 2002 version) and might read the book... but the only reason I'm reluctant is because I love this movie so much that if I do, I'll change my opinion of it. Nevertheless, give it a shot. It might be worth it.
