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.
More mistakes in Carrie
Sue Snell: Carrie had some sort of power. But she was just like me... Like any of you. She had hopes, she had fears, but we pushed her. And you can only push someone so far before they break.
Trivia: It has been correctly pointed out that in the scene where Carrie is born, there's no placenta. In the novel, the account of Carrie's birth makes a reference to "the baby, still partially wrapped in the placental membrane." In other words, Carrie was born with a caul, which, according to lore, indicates she'll have supernatural powers.
Question: I don't understand the ending of the movie when Sue is screaming in her mother's arms and there is a cross on her wall - is she supposed to become a Jesus freak like Carrie's mom, or is her baby gonna have powers like Carrie?
Answer: Sue just woke up from a terrifying nightmare in which Carrie's arm reaches out of her grave and grabs Sue. A lot of hospitals have crosses in the rooms. It's been suggested that Sue might have miscarried and lost her baby.
