For
movie buffs the name Carrie is super familiar. She’s the weird girl with the
extremely religious mother and super telekinetic powers, and who spread terror
after getting pranked in prom by getting pig’s blood thrown at her by the
“cool” kids. Carrie
was released in 1976 and it was such a success that it became a classical
horror movie. But today I’m not reviewing that, I’m reviewing the remake of
Carrie which was released in 2013.
I
haven’t watched the old version, once I do, I will sure to review it. So, let
me talk about the 2013 version staring, Julianne
Moore as the mother and Chloë Grace
Moretz as Carrie.
This
movie was so much better than I expected, because it’s always hard to remake a
classic, so I was worried, but I really enjoyed the movie! Julianne Moore was
brilliant! Her role as the mother is hard, because she was so crazy and
obsessive, but Julianne just shined through it. She really showed how abusive
the mother was to Carrie and yet cared for her in her own freaky twisted way.
The
scene after the pig’s blood spill was just gruesome and brilliant! It was
really the climax of an already thrilling movie. The scenes were shot and edited in a very cool
way. It added to the intensity of the story.
The
story for me has so many layers in it. It talks about family abuse, extreme
religious believes, teen problems, school bullying, guilt and regret. It’s
deep, yet thrilling.
The
movie isn’t Horror as per say, as the criteria changed from the 70s till now,
but it was a really good thriller that I enjoyed. For more info and trailer,

I
really hoped to watch The Fault in
Our Stars today, but didn’t get the chance L. I hope to see it soon
thought! I hear a lot of great things about it.
Till
then!
