The third film adaptation of the [[Carrie (novel)|book of the same name]] by [[Stephen King]]. It tells the story of Carrie ([[Chloë Grace Moretz]]), a girl bullied at home and at school. Things kick off when she has her period and discovers she also has telekinetic powers.
It was written by playwright, [[Marvel Comics]] scribe and ''[[Glee]]'' writer/co-producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, and directed by Kimberly Peirce (of ''[[Boys Don't Cry]]'' fame). Like the 2002 TV Movie adaptation, it was less of a remake of the [[Carrie (1976 film)|1976 film]] and more of a new, more faithful adaptation of the King book, with the use of [http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3136761/carrie-might-have-found-footage-elements-plus-some-words-from-chloe-moretz-on-the-project/ found-footage elements and interviews] to convey the book's [[Scrapbook Story]]. The reaction has been [[Internet Backdraft|unsurprising]] -- even King himself [http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/advice-to-those-remaking-carrie-theyre-all-gonna-laugh-at-you questioned whether it was necessary] -- though Sissy Spacek [https://web.archive.org/web/20140621030204/http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=89904 didn't seem to mind].
{{Needs More Info}}
Line 27 ⟶ 28:
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: It's not filmed but we do see later, Carrie did manage to set fire to the entire town.
* [[Power Floats]]: In the 1976 film, she is somehow unable to be electrocuted as she walks out of the school. In the 2002 remake, she telekinetically makes the water avoid her. This film forgoes any of that and has Carrie float out of the school to safety.
* [[Teen Pregnancy]]: Sue has one with Carrie saying it's a girl.
* [[Reality Ensues]]: Since these days, most sports don't require you to take a shower afterwards. The film actually does have a reason to do it by having the students play a sport in the pool.
** When Sue calls the police, she says it's an explosion that's the problem, despite having seen Carrie using her powers. This is probably so the police will be more likely to believe her.
* [[Revenge by Proxy]]: Despite not knowing them personally, Carrie still kills Jackie and Freddy. Though Jackie was still of Billy's friend that went to go get the blood and Freddy was recording the massacre.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Carrie's iconic prom massacre was caused because of years of torment with Tommy's death being the cherry of top. Bonus points for Carrie actually roaring before starting.
