Carrie (2013 film)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


These things about Carrie (2013 film) are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

  • And the Fandom Rejoiced: *Sigh*... they're doing another remake just ten years after the last one. And it's being made by Screen Gems, at that. Uncreative imbeciles. Directed by Kimberly Peirce? Alright, Boys Don't Cry was pretty good, so this might actually be decent, let's see who they're casting as... CHLOE GRACE MORETZ IS PLAYING CARRIE? With Julianne Moore as Margaret? Screen Gems, shutupandtakemymoney!
    • Wow, this is a pretty cool fan-made poster of Moretz as Carrie. Kimberly Peirce likes it too? Even cooler! Looks like she knows what she's doing.
  • Broken Base: Does this movie hold a candle to the original 1976 version? Is it worse or better than it?
    • Speaking of which, there's also the question of who's the better Carrie? Sissy or Chloe? Angela?
  • Can't Unhear It: While Sissy and Chloe are heavily debated on this one, a lot of fans put Chloe as Carrie in their fanworks.
  • Crossover Ship: She's paired with a lot of X-Men men. Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) is a popular ship candidate.
  • Friendly Fandoms: With the X-Men Movies fanbase.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Following the lead of the original novel, Chris Hargensen could be seen in this way, given how her boyfriend treats her and how negligent her father is about her obvious social and mental problems, as opposed to the original 1976 film in which Chris had no even remotely sympathetic traits.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Margaret probably crossed it long before the story begins (probably the second she first locked Carrie in a prayer closet, actually), but when she decides to murder her daughter, you know there's absolutely no hope of her ever being redeemed. In both the novel and this version, it's made clear that she almost murdered her when she was a baby — the moment she first showed signs of her powers.
  • Tough Act to Follow: The original film cast a long shadow over this production, just as it had over previous adaptations.
  • What an Idiot!: Chris still trying to run over Carrie even when she was considering sparing her. She definitely deserved her fate.
