Movie Reviews of Carrie (TV Film)
Movie Review: JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE CHEMISTRY AS THE FIRST ONE
Summary: 2 Stars
I avoided this movie ever since it came out,because i thought the original Carrie was perfect ,and i was right. I finally rented the newer version of Carrie,i thought the new cast just didn't have that chemistry like the original. I don't understand why they would take a strong film and make a weak film. I didn't like any of the cast members. I mean Sissy Spacek is Carrie no one can top her performance, and Piper Laurie as Margret White just blew me away in the original and also Betty Buckley and Nancy Allen were terrific. I know they went more by the book, i would have rather seen the original updated with the deleted seens,like were carrie was little and was talking to the teenage girl next door about her dirty pillows but other than that the original movie was perfect,no need for this one.
Summary of Carrie (TV Film)
Everyone has a breaking point. Pray that Carrie White doesn't reach hers. Angela Bettis (Girl, Interrupted) stars in this bone-chilling update of Stephen King's legendary tale of horror and retribution, featuring eye-popping special effects and a shocking, all-new twist ending! Carrie White (Bettis) is a lonely, awkward teenage girl who just doesn't fit in. At school, she endures her classmates' constant ridicule, and at home she suffers endless psychological torture at the hands of her fanatically religious mother (Patricia Clarkson, "Six Feet Under"). But Carrie has a secret. She's been cursed with the terrifying power of telekinesis. And when her tormentors commit an act of unforgivably cruel humiliation at the prom, they'll soon learn a deadly lesson: If you mess with fire, you will get burned!Nobody would argue with the thought that Sissy Spacek is the perfect heroine of Stephen King's scary tale of teenage telekinesis. But in a pinch, Angela Bettis, the star of this 2002 TV remake, fills Spacek's bloody shoes very well. Bettis--who expertly plays a similar role in the indie horror pic May--gets all the loner pathos of poor Carrie White, equally tormented by her cool classmates and her religious-fanatic mom (Patricia Clarkson). Her transformation from doormat to vengeful prom queen remains surefire wish fulfillment for anyone who ever felt a misfit in high school. Despite Bettis's intensity, it's difficult to justify remaking Carrie when Brian De Palma's 1976 version is enshrined as a classic of its kind (especially given the pedestrian TV-movie production values on display here). This one delivers its jolts, but when you could just as easily spend time with Spacek and De Palma, why bother? --Robert Horton
