Director Kimberly Peirce reimagines the classic story of Carrie, a highschool teenage girl who is tormented by the entire senior class. Given the excellenct casting of Carrie as well as her mother Margret, this movie delievers effects which the original wasn't able to support in it's time. Chloe Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass) portrays the role of Carrie White, giving us a satisying performance which by the time the movie is over, your happy that little vampire girl from 'Let me In' ended up landing the role . Julianne Moore stole the movie away with her performance as Margret White, giving me the chills as she showed us a more crazier evil side to the character, I personally thought Julianne was giving one of her best performances since 'Boogie Night's', A weird comparsion yes.

This movie had a solid score done by Marco Beltrami (Scream movies) giving us a thriller vibe for the movie, not making it feel it was true horror though. Making it less magical to the original to me. Along the amazing CGI scenes involing her telekenctic powers, it made good for that. Still this remake being as good as remakes come, lacked the magic of the original. I found myself satisfied at some points of the movie, as I thought Kimberly Pierce showed a more loving Margret, who tries showing more compassion for her daughter. The prom scene was done decent, the music was awful however, and I felt some of the scenes through out were not magical, suspenseful or even scary in the slightest. I dig how Kimberly Pierce visioned Stephen Kings novel more then the original with some elements. Where in the ending I did find myself smiling, especilly with the raining rocks added into this. All and all I really dig this remake, I find it had some good points, trying to seperate it's self from other films. All said and done this adaptation of Carrie was
