Alex S Carrie is an absolute bland remake. Very little fire in this film but rather an excuse to boost Chloe Grace Moretz’s career as a rising young actress. There are many things that are missed in attempting to recreate what made the original so thrilling, shocking, and terrifying, especially considering Sissy Spacek’s unforgettable performance in the original. There was no attempt to bring something fresh to a classic. Grading: D+ Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Seamus S I love Julianne Moore, but this was awful. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Vishnu M Chloe's perfomance was mindblowing especially the prom scene and also the perfomance of Juliana was incredible bgm, cinematography was also good Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review TROY S 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. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Lois B 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. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Blu B 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. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
