Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Coventry I notice that I've become a lot more tolerant and open-minded regarding remakes of genuine horror classics! 10-15 years ago, around the time when remakes of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "The Fog" were getting released, I was fanatically against the trend and even encouraged others to boycott all these titles. My perception gradually changed over the years. Of course I still think that Brian DePalma's original "Carrie" is a powerful genre landmark and that another remake is completely unnecessary, but if that's what it takes to attract new & younger audiences, then so be it. I even daresay the 2013 version is fairly enjoyable, mostly thanks to a very solid & plausible performance by Julianne Moore and a surprisingly big amount of bloody murders and explicit make-up effects. This 2013 remake is almost identical to the 1976 original, except that the script is updated with typical post-Millennium atrocities. When poor Carrie White hysterically panicked for getting her very first menstruation at school in 1976, she got laughed at and bullied by the other girls in the shower. In 2013, she gets laughed at and simultaneously filmed by a dozen of smartphones, so that afterwards she gets cyber-bullied yet again on the internet. As I said, "Carrie" is a reasonably good film and I'm trying to be mostly positive, but there are nevertheless a few unforgivable mistakes here. First and foremost, the casting of Chloë Grace-Moretz. She certainly isn't a bad actress, but she's far too attractive and trendy to depict the unique titular character. Regardless of what pitiable clothing she wears or how pale her skin looks, this natural born cute girl simply cannot pass for the timid, introvert and religiously oppressed ugly duckling Carrie White! I know I'm sounding like a dinosaur again, but Sissy Spacek was phenomenally well-cast in the original for her looks and charisma, whereas here it's the other way around. Secondly, and this perhaps largely the achievement of Sissy Spacek also, the 1976 Carrie somehow remained a "human" and a "victim" when she went on her murdering rampage after the pig-blood incident at the prom. 2013 Carrie seemingly transforms into a sort of mean and unstoppable killer-robot, devoid of any emotion whatsoever. But hey, Julianne Moore's performance is truly impressive and arguably even more better than the almighty Piper Laurie in DePalma's original. Her depiction of the insanely religious Margaret White is intense, disturbing and genuinely petrifying. Other strong points include Kimberly Peirce's surefooted direction and the bloody carnage Carrie leaves behind at her senior prom.

lorcan-61881 Uh,I'm just gonna jump in,alright instead of reading the synopsis,OK? So,Carrie,2013...what could go wrong?! Carrie is probably one of of King's worst adaptions ever since,probably Thinner. Chloe Mortez portrays Carrie,is bad! Its not shes not a good actress but shes not as creepy as Spececk or Bettis!..shes just this sad little depressed girl and Julianne Moore as Mrs. White was just this sad,mental piece of depression! Piper Laurie was so creepy and mad as Margaret but Moore just silently said all of the sinful stuff and when she'd be done,she'd just go upstairs and cut or hit herself while Carrie like..sowed a shirt or something in the closet,or somethin! Like come on,DETAIL???!!! The prom scene was also lousy it was just Chloe Mortez who by the way,was also not creepy at the prom,like in the original versions,Bettis or Spececk would just intensely creepily stare and Chloe would just smile evily and like..ehhhhh? That wasn't creepy,at all,uh,here im done!! This is crap!!!

joshua-pokemon-quinlan 10 out of 10 stars for this movie.Loved this movie and loved Chloe as Carrie. Her performance was amazing as was Julianna Moore. I loved the fact that they spared the teacher in this one. Loved it

Kyle Kelly 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.
