Watch Carrie For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Boring

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Carrie(2002)is a made for TV horror movie starring Angela Bettis,Patrica Clarkson and Katherine Issabelle. The movie is about a young misfit called Carrie who each day is traumatized by her classmates and then goes home to her mad religious crazy mother Margaret. But she has a secret even she doesn't know she has,she has the power of telekinesis,she can move things with her mind and when Carrie is invited to the prom by a popular boy in her school,Carrie thinks she will be accepted as a whole person but before she knows it,a huge prank is going to happen on Carrie but all hell breaks loose when she gets revenge on her classmates and her mother. Carrie and Carrie 2 are probably one of my favourite horror series's and I didn't really know what to think of this when I heard about it,I watched it knowing creepy Angela Bettis was in it who was one of my favourite actors back then. I really liked this film,the prom scene was awesome,the effects were really really bad but it's a TV movie so that's reasonable. I loved the acting but I didn't like Patrica Clarkson playing Margaret she just didn't seem the role. Carrie(2002) is a awesome TV horror film..a lot better then 'Omen IV:the awakening(1991)

First off, there's a sad desperation in the reviews that praise this remake because it's more faithful to the book. That is not always a virtue, and I found the flashback sequences annoying, simply because there was no tension; there was nothing these characters could reveal (except for Sue, which goes to the absurd ending). Similarly, there is no need to be truer to the pig-killing scene. It's awful enough done briefly. As for other elements...Clarkson is a better Mama, for sure. The Carrie, not so much. The evil Chris, great, and there's not much you can do with the gym teacher beyond what any actress will do (although I missed Betty Buckley's kind of creepy reminiscence at the prom, indicating an ugly duckling agenda of her own). BUT. The prom inferno was terribly done. Sloppy, and not in a realistically good way. Worst of all is both Sue Snell character and actress. This lone, sympathetic character came across as annoying and not all that nice, and there is then even less basis for the rescue ending: I understand you have extraordinary powers and are deeply troubled, so let's get you to Florida? All in all, not worth watching. While the original is flawed, it was De Palma's territory, and it works as glorious camp/horror.

I first heard of carrie through a 100 scariest movies list. I heard only about the telekinesis stuff and the prom scene. I first saw the original classic with sissy spasick (can't spell) and the next day and I honestly wasn't disappointed. The only problem with this film is it falls in the trap of crappy 2000-2006 cgi effects. The original I admit is a great film but it falls in the trap of weird choices in music (for example when the gym teacher is making the girls exercise). And the remake has some illogical scenes in it like when carrie is being revived with CPR. But if that's the biggest flaw than that really shouldn't be a problem. It goes into a lot of depth with the characters and it gives tommy a better personality than just the nice guy who takes her to prom. In both films it's evident he cares but in the remake he seems to care more. I can't explain it. And billy Nolan he is also a problem. In the original he is just stupid and as bonehead a guy as you would ever see. Whilst in the remake, he is freaking insane and he seems to change the personality by a lot. It's like the Texas chainsaw remake and the original. Both are so different and great in their own way. So both films are great and don't trash this one for being the remake of a classic.

I know that others has complained about this film, and thinking of the circumstances, it's not that weird. Of course, compared to the original (you saw this coming, right?), this one is more of an "easy come, easy go". It's like Hellraiser without Doug Bradley, or Elm Street without Robert Englund. Even if the movie itself doesn't suck, we have the original, with its own trademarks, to compare it with.However! If you decide to watch this, please make sure to forget everything you remembered from the original movie. If you've read the book, you know that Carrie isn't as cute as in the 70's version, her mother is way more crazy ... The characters doesn't have the substance from the characters in the book. This one does. When I read the book, I pictured Carrie as a shy, somewhat ... I wouldn't say ugly, but not a real beauty, or cute. A bit odd girl, sneaking around in the corridors trying not to be seen and always on edge, never quite dry in her eyes. The actress delivers the character of Carrie superb, and sometimes better than Sissy Spacek (I am going to get so much sh*t from "real" horror fans for saying that). The only thing I have to complain about is the choreography of the picture. The picture is a bit corny on occasions, has got too many closeups and almost always filmed with a shaky hand camera. Makes me wounder - why? It really brings down the over all grade of the movie, and gives a feeling to the movie as a "high school project" rather than a remake/interpretation of the book.On the whole, an excellent movie with excellent acting. I give it 7 out of 10
