Having never seen the original Carrie movie, I knew that it meant I
should at least watch the remake. I have always known the story of Carrie even
if I hadn’t read the book.

This movie tells the tale of Carrie who is shy and sheltered by her
protective mother. She is picked on at school in the locker room, and this is
when her powers begin to reveal themselves. The movie was decently passed.
Throughout the whole movie, all I found myself thinking about was
bullying. This movie is an amazing testament to what happens when you push
someone too far. It bothers me greatly that people still don’t think that
bullying isn’t as horrible as it actually is.
Overall, I think this is a movie worth seeing. I cannot, however, speak
to whether or not it is better than the first one or not. I know that Chloe
Grace Moretz, who plays Carrie, blew me away. She does an absolutely amazing
job in my opinion. That could just be because I remember her from the Kick-Ass
series, and the two roles that she plays are quite different from each other.
My least favorite parts to this movie is the few very obviously CGI bits and
the amount of gore. The second is part of the story, so it would be rather odd
if the movie didn’t have any gore. My favorite part is Chloe. Let me know your
favorite and least favorite parts of this movie.
Hope you have a cheerful day!
