Carrie (2013)

8.8/10. A pretty decent movie here. The 2nd theatrical one which showed promise. I enjoyed the performances of Julianne Moore, Judy Greer, and Chloe Grace Moretz. Moretz as Carrie did rather well showing she had potential provided she sticks to good scripts. The use of video for her humiliation was an interesting and updated idea from the original. True it suffered from studio interference, like Black Christmas 2006, still it did well. I was impressed with the well done prom scene. It looked real, well updated from the original. Two touching moments that I noticed were when Margaret looked newborn Carrie in the eyes and just rocked her. The other being Carrie lifting Ms. Desjarden off the gym floor to the stage for her safety. Clearly she cared about her.While Carrie of 1976 is still the masterpiece, Carrie of 2013 shouldn't be tossed aside as an inferior remake. It's not perfect but not terrible either, I'd call it pretty decent.

Carrie 2013 is a much rougher road to drive as Chloe Grace Moretz is Carrie, at once a more sympathetic, independent and headstrong young woman of the Internet generation who knows about boys, music and all the rest that this movie's fanatical mom (Julianne Moore) is against. How, then, does she not know that her period is happening?! Anyway, Like in the earlier movie, Carrie is a budding and volatile telekinetic as well as a sheltered, abused and neglected teen whose invited to the School Prom with very disastrous results! She slays practically everyone, some in very gruesome ways! Violent, angry movie.
