Carrie the original my favorite. Makes me cry every time.

What part makes you cry?

Her mom was insane. Stephen King writes the most evil characters that we love to hate!

LostShadow

I get upset with a lot of how her mom treats her and I cry at the part where she dies inside the house with her mom.

GardenSirens

Ahh, I can see that

That are sad scenes.

I need to rewatch Carrie: The Rage. Does anyone know why she had ivy vines growing?

GardenSirens

She had them because the movie was terrible and when a movie is bad, you can get away with whatever you want. IE Blair Witch Project 2 Book of Shadow.

Well that pretty much sums that up than.

GardenSirens

You know what, though...I only saw those two WHEN they came out. I was in such a different mindset then. I need to rewatch them now. I have such an open and accepting approach to movies that it's rare for me to hate something. VERY RARE. I'll rewatch these for the sake of horror!

Well if you do rewatch Carrie The Rage let me know if they give a background about those veins and or vines.

But he's so good at taking the most simplistic everyday thing and making it creepy!

I watched Carrie recently and thought it was pretty good. The title reminds me of a commercial from the for moisturizing cream or something where they say Carrie is so different or whatever. I saw the newer one, but I've never seen the original one. Did Stephen King write any other books having to do with telekinesis that have been made into movies?

I haven't read Doctor Sleep, but there is a character in that named Abra Stone who I've read has telekinetic powers. There is an adaptation on the way starring Ewan McGregor


So, I just re-watched the 2013 version of CARRIE.

It's not even close to the scares/suspense of the 1976 original All of the subtlety that shone through in Sissy Spacek's performance in the Prom scene when Carrie kills the students is gone in the 2013 one. Moretz uses her arms to act, not her eyes. The soundtrack in this scene is really distracting.

Best compliment I can give the 2013 version is that Chloe Moretz, Julianne Moore and Ansel Elgort give really good performances and bring depth/sympathy to the characters.

Huge NO to the unnecessary twist they add in the 2013 version where Sue Snell is pregnant and using it as an excuse for Carrie to save her? That was so forced.

I loved this movie
