This film is based off the novel, of the same title, written by Stephen King and is one of many adaptations of the story. Carrie White, a shy outcast teenage girl, lives with her insane and bible crazy mother Margaret White. After finding herself pushed too far at prom, she unleashes her telekinetic abilities on unsuspecting classmates.
This film was directed by Kimberly Peirce. This is pretty much a remake of the classic 1976 film. Having a female audiences does make this film feel more personal to the dilemmas of modern teenage girls. This film keeps it familiar without making it too stylish for modern audiences. It does, however, modernize it enough to keep it interesting. There was a lot that was strange in the original, because it was new. This film takes all of those quirks and makes them feel more appropriate for the characters. The film can feel slow to a lot of modern audiences, but this makes it more exciting. There isn't as much tension to add to the horror of the film mainly because its already been seen. To make it horror, it uses more violence during the end. It also adds more to established characters-even if at times it is a bit too much. Unfortunately, there is no real development of Carrie's powers. She just has them. Chloe Grace Moretz played the role of Carrie White. Moretz was great in this role. She opened her acting talents to evoke images of a troubled teenager. Julianne Moore played the role of Margaret White. Moore was amazing in this role. She really opened this character to the insanity just lurking below. But, this film does spend more time showing her psychological problems and doesn't present much of her bible fanaticism. Portia Doubleday played the role of Chris Hargensen. She was good in her role even if went a bit too dark side with it. Gabriella Wilde played the role of Sue Snell. Wilde brought an conflicted innocence to the film.
Answer to last blog: Actor Christopher Eccleston, Thor: The Dark World, starred in the popular British television show Doctor Who.
