Carrie
"Telekinetic Mayhem! ... Scary, Sweet and Frightening." - New York Post
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 tormenters 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.

Indeed, just a remake - Coconut_Willy
The Brian DePalma original was so good that this television remake had little chance to make an impression. This is the one thing that I will never understand about remakes; if you don't have anything new to bring to the table, why bother? The story remains the same but is presented from a slightly different perspective with some rather minor changes, mostly dealing with improved special effects. The storyline is obviously good but the characters in this version are greatly exagerated, almost becoming a caricature of what the original made them. The cast is good enough (numerous familiar faces), doing an appropriate acting job with a good dialogue. The sets and locations are good as well as the soundtrack and the camera work. Overall, this is good enough but certainly not as impressive as the original. If you are a horror fan, you will certainly enjoy it but if you have seen and liked the original, don't expect much improvement.Awesome - nice
If you are a horror movie lover or just a movie lover in general then this movie is a definate must for your Ziplist.
This movie is an awesome remake of the original. When watching the film I kept on remembering the original movie. Angela Bettis plays an awesome Carrie and make her character as believable as the original.
A solid five star rating for this movie!!!
Enjoy the show!!!
