What to Know

Critics Consensus

This made-for-TV adaptation of Stephen King's classic fails to impress or bring anything new to the table, - or to the prom - paling even more in comparison to the 1970's memorable version.

Poor little Carrie didn't need the big buildup. She's too familiar as it is, and despite a worthy star, she's all dressed up with no new, intriguing place to go. Go to Full Review

In the hands of director David Carson (Star Trek: Generations; From the Earth to the Moon), NBC's updated Carrie is more effective than I anticipated. The film -- especially the first half -- had me in a spell. Go to Full Review
Phil Gallo Variety 01/16/2020
Too much of "Carrie" feels padded, that we're watching an extra 45 seconds or a minute in certain scenes just to get them to fill out the time until the commercial break or allow in more f/x. Go to Full Review
Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 01/16/2020
It ranks with the finest of TV's adaptations of Stephen King. Granted, that's not saying much, but this Carrie is popcorn-chomping fun. Go to Full Review

2002's Carrie will just have to remain this strange oddity of bizarre intent and hilariously botched execution. Go to Full Review

Max M @livmackenzie Feb 27 The 2002 adaptation of Carrie offers a surprisingly thoughtful and character-focused take on Stephen King’s story. Angela Bettis brings a raw, almost uncomfortable realism to Carrie, making her feel fragile yet quietly intense. This version leans more into psychological tension and explores the emotional trauma behind Carrie’s powers in a grounded way. The expanded scenes give more depth to the characters, especially Sue, adding layers of empathy and moral conflict. While it doesn’t have the stylized flair of the 1976 film, it feels intimate and modernized for its time. The prom sequence still delivers, but what stands out most is the emotional aftermath. It’s a darker, more reflective retelling that deserves more appreciation. Its camp its cvnty. See more James B @James_B Jul 5 The 2002 remake of Carrie is just too long and at most times boring and also has atrocious CGI. See more Rami A @Bunt101 Jul 5 The good casting for a well casted TV-Movie doesn't help with the movie's many shortcomings. See more thiago s @Thiagostone 03/05/2025 Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, o filme mostra o roteiro igual, ao filme da carrie de 1976, com cenas igual de um jeito diferente, como a cena que teve que matar o porco, no 1 filme teve só 2 pessoas, nesse filme teve 5 pessoas, e a cena do baile um ponte diferente com fogo no chão, pessoas sendo eletrocutadas e mortas e o ginásio uma parte sendo demolido pelo o carrie fez, e no final o carro dos 2 vilões foi destruído por tentar matar carrie atropelada, depois que carrie chega em casa, sua mãe tenta matar ela na banheira, só que carrie usa seu poder psíquico e faz o coração de sua mãe parar, e depois ela morre na banheira, mas sua amiga salva a tempo e carrie fica viva e acaba o filme, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme. See more jordin p 06/16/2024 this is a TV movie was okay I liked how they added some scenes from the novel that weren't in all the other adaptations but the ending I did not like but you do have to remember it was to set up a TV series but if you just watch it and Skip like the ending I think it's a pretty good. See more Shy P 05/18/2024 Honestly it was pretty good. Of the the original, sequel, and two remakes I think this one is my favorite. It starts off very cheesy and cliche, and has budget CGI effects but it's pretty easy to get into. You understand the characters, what's old and what's new, and you can tell they put alot of effort into this one. It's not just a one to one remake of the original, it dives more into Carrie's abilities as well showing that not everyone involved is heartless. The prom is a genuine feel good moment until the inevitable prank and there's a nice twist to the events that follow. Definitely give it a watch if early 2000's tv vibes isn't a deal breaker for you.
