![]() Likewise, the remake follows a conventional narrative, this whole bullying, teenage phase where the rebels plan a huge mistake leading to an excruciating night – it’s a bit corny.Most of us are familiar with the story of CARRIE be it through Stephen King’s novel or the classic 1976 Brian de Palma film starring Sissy Spacek, complete with the now iconic blood-drenched imagery etched into our collective consciousness. The explosive actions are neither frightening nor thrilling it’s a neutral feeling and something you’ve seen before. Though, it lacks the edginess and danger you want to see. Chloe does a brilliant performance in the film, where her aggressiveness and untouchable strength makes you fear her actions yet plead to see more. We admire Carrie’s battle and appreciate her abilities. We gain insight on how her life is like and this build up to her explosive actions towards the end. Overall, Carrie contains a follow-through narrative focused on one main protagonist’ story. With help from Julianne’s wild hair, we get this eeriness through her character where her cold persona and sharp actions are noticeable. Zipping her mothers mouth off and using her strength to keep her away only makes us more closer to Carrie and agree with her actions. Though, as the film goes by, Carrie learns to accept her powers and playing nice to her mother doesn’t seem to get the message across, so the other only option is violence. We long to see her support Carrie, but she always shuts her off. Yes, she’s the crazy one, the one that always telling Carrie to pray for no reason. We despise Carrie’s mum (Julianne Moore). It’s like we’ve seen it all before, the books flying in mid air, the mirror shattering into pieces, its all recycled. The scenes of the car crashing, road cracking and the roars of pushes are profoundly exciting. ![]() We long to see her powers and when she explodes, we adore the goriness visual. The special effects and CGI is pretty impressive in Carrie. ![]() As all seems to be going well, until can you guess? Something stupid happens, one of previous girls who hates Carrie, Chris (Portia Doubleday) attempts to get her revenge Tommy makes her feel at ease and mostly notices her beauty. The night of the prom is beautiful and we celebrate Carrie’s happiness. One of the girls, Sue Snell (Gabriella Wilde) notices her difference and tries to help her by giving her a chance to go on prom with her boyfriend, Tommy (Ansel Elgort). Having said that, the plot twists in a very stereotypical way, where we have a hero, or somewhat of a hero. The repetitive kicking her down and leaving her behind makes her blood boil. Carrie’s special abilities don’t get justified, where we don’t see her using them for good. Although she has this magnificent energy, the people around her don’t appreciate this fact and stick to calling her ‘weird’ and ‘creep’. As Carrie discovers more of her powers, we start to see her feel slightly more confident with herself. We sympathise towards how she is treated and despise those terrible schoolgirls. Her abrupt facial expressions and closed social behavior makes us want to know more about Carrie. Though this decision ends up becoming a memorable night, where Carrie’s powers get out of hand.Ĭhloe realistically transforms into this strong yet weak character. With no support from her bewitched mother, Carrie begins to disobey her and follows her gut. And if that’s not enough, her home life is rough, where her crazy mother believes she’s a sin sent from hell. School sucks for Carrie, she’s constantly picked on and the bratty popular girls give her nothing but misery. Carrie has a gift, she’s born with special abilities which contain strength and telekinesis powers. ![]() But the thing is, Carrie isn’t average, she’s different, she stands out from the rest, she’s special. An insightful tale on a supernatural teenager, Carrie White, does Pierce give justice to the classic?Ĭarrie White (Chloë Grace Moretz) is an average teenage girl trying to get through her life in high school. Director Kimberly Pierce brings to us a remake of the horror classic, Carrie.
