High school can be tough for many teenagers, but for Carrie White (Chloë Grace Moretz), it's especially hellish. A shy and awkward teen being raised by a religious zealot (Julianne Moore), Carrie is frequently the target of bullies. But Carrie has a secret talent: She can make things move with her mind. One fateful night, an especially cruel prank at her senior prom pushes her over the edge, and Carrie unleashes her telekinetic powers on all who get in her way.

Critics Consensus

It boasts a talented cast, but Kimberly Peirce's "reimagining" of Brian De Palma's horror classic finds little new in the Stephen King novel -- and feels woefully unnecessary.

Carrie resonates for women in particular because it touches on so much of the horror of becoming female that it's almost too real. I love that Kimberly Piece chose to honor that horror faithfully, even if it doesn't make for a radical re-visioning.

Moretz plays Carrie as either a constantly petrified, meek outcast or a grimacing destroyer. Peirce fails to build a connection between audience and protagonist.

A tired, unneeded copy of Brian De Palma's far superior work, with the small changes it makes adding nothing of significance.

Deep Focus Review

The new Carrie offers no fresh insights into the material and delivers far less than what De Palma achieved both thematically and cinematically.

Rated: 1/4

There's also a terrifically understated performance by Judy Greer...

As a fan of the book and the original 1976 film my expectations for this were mixed. But just yesterday I saw this with two friends and loved every minute of it. It is very faithful to the original source material with a few modern takes on the story. There was also a bit more blood . Chloe grace moretz is not my first choice to play carrie but from what I saw she did very well.

It wasn’t the worst movie I’ve ever seen but it was pretty boring im not going to lie. I almost turned it off it’s a slow burn which isn’t always a good thing.

It's fundamentally ok but it does NOTHING better than the original. The direction is just alright but compared to De Palmas direction it's not even close. Everything here is basic. The editing between telekenesis outbursts is alright but isn't as sharp as the 76' one. The biggest problem here is Moretz as Carrie. I don't believe for a second watching her she would be a social outkast. It's like watching someone who is trying to be a awkward introvert after reading about it and studying but never actually feeling like it in real life. Or like watching a popular girl trying to act like a unpopular one. Outside of that she's alright but man it would've been an almost impossible task for anyone to come close to Sissy because the casting is just perfect. Moore is the one good thing in this and unfortunately she doesn't get a lot of time. I wish this would've explored the mother daughter relationship a bit more because of how good she is instead of copying the original by following the same beats. The CGI special effects are NO WHERE near as good as the practical effects/tricks used in the first either. This feels like it focuses more on Chris who isn't as interesting as Carrie or the Mom. The whole issue really can be summed up comparing the prom blood scene where it turns into a horror film in both versions. Comparing DePalma's 15 minutes of no dialouge at all buildup and turn to how this one does it shows all the issues. Basic direction, CGI effects that take you out of the expierence, Moretz feeling miscast, and the editing isn't as sharp. The end scare change is a bit lame too. Skip This. By no means is this broken or the worst remake ever. It just has no right to exist. Stick with the 76' Classic.
