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.

Pointless remake that offered no new perspectives or details about the original story.

There is nothing about Moretz (performance wise or visual appearance) that manages to even slightly suggest a girl who'd be a social outcast. Also, for a remake that was made nearly 40 years later, the special effects don't even come close to replicating or enhancing the memorable imagery (or horror) of the original Brian De Palma version.

Enjoyable. The story was well modernized to keep up with the times but is far from perfect. Worth watching for any fan of Carrie.

This modern take on Carrie was so well done. The effects were put together very well and looked great with some exceptions. The way they brought the modern style and themes into this adaptation worked very well, and the slight tweaks to the story to make it more modern, made this a better film than the rest. Chloe Grace Moretz does a great and compelling performance along with Julianne Moore. They play off of each other so well as the twisted mother - daughter relationship and it works perfectly. This adaptation deserves the good ranking it gets for being a more modern take that is put together well and works.

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.
