Best movie of this year hands down!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

What to say... this movie is a remake of the original, copying every aspect, but done poorly, cheesy and less credible.
In the original movie Carrie was a shy girl with notable low self-steem and very insecure of herself. Devote to christiany, mind-forged by her mother who raised her with fears and beliefs that shaped her mind and personality.
In this movie, Carrie stands for herself, has a personal view of things, argues with her mother as if she felt she knew more about the world. Unafraid of her powers as a chliché of an x-men. She extends her hand and uses her power as if Xavier taught her and flys, yes, flyes and rage use it. Fine for an x-men movie, where characters are spectacular and do stupid stands and unrealistic moves, just because they look cool (but nobody would do if actually had those powers)
The mother in the original movie was a fanatic religious marvelous played, very believable and coherent to the character.
In this movie the mother also behaves strange and incoherent to her part. A religious woman hitting her head against the wall like an autist?
Every scene that shapes the movie was the same you will find in the original movie. The remake is the "cool" version, where everything is unrealistic, less apealing and exagerated and forced to make a scene that feels out of place.
My advice, watch the original 1st, then this one and make your own conclussions

This is almost exact copycat of the 1976 movie with the only difference being addition of cellphones. The director claims that she created a new version of the movie with a new interpretation instead of copying the 1976 version but this is not true at all. There was really no point in filming this movie at all. Apart from that, the movie was OK.

My favorite movie is Horror movie 'Carrie', which is about an outsider girl named Carrie with supernatural power. I like this movie because of these three reasons. First, the story and idea was amazing. I'd never seen this kind of story before. Fantasy, Romance and Horror's collaboration was thrilling. Second, the special effects were wonderful. Car explosion and blood pouring by Carrie's power was exciting. Last, I could empathize with Carrie's mind that she wants to escape from her mother. Her mother was psycho who believes God very strongly. She always locked Carrie up to make her pray and ask for a forgive to God. For these reasons, I like this movie very much. But I don't want to recommend this movie to week heart. Because, it is so scary that they could black out. If you get a chance to watch this movie, I want to remind you to prepare your heart.

Have you seen it? No? There is likely a very good reason for that...it stinks.Like nearly ALL the endless remakes and reboots that have been plaguing movie goers for the past decade or so....all this is, is a heartless version of the original.It has no heart.It has no soul.It is a retelling of a film that we all love and cherish...and it adds nothing to the story. It improves nothing but the special effects--which held up very well over time--and in some cases belittles the fans of the original...particularly in the fact that they remade the movie at all, without adding anything clever to it.Like so many other remakes it is a hallow shell of the original.
