Carrie remake 2013

Finally exams are over!! After literally stressing over O's for so long, this just feels so great. (: But that's not the main point of this post. This post is to talk about the awesome movie I watched today! So right after the last paper I went with some friends to watch Carrie. Honestly I didn't really want to watch it, because I really cannot watch horror or anything terrifying or I'll not be able to sleep for weeks BUT It really wasn't that bad. It was really really cool.

Basically the story's about Carrie and her telekinesis power. After watching it, two things really made me vividly remember this movie.

1) Julianne Moore acting as Margaret White, Carrie's mother, is just a damn good actress. She portrayed the character as a deeply religious (and a little crazy) woman extremely well. Throughout the movie I actually found her more creepy and scary than Carrie herself.




2) The telekinesis part at the prom was so cool. Actually I really wanted her to kill all the people who mistreated her before and her killing them is like my secret revenge on those bitches who humiliated her in the shower area (throwing tampons at her and stuff). I particularly love the part where she kills Chris and her boyfriend in the car when they were trying to escape. It was epic.




Chloe Grace Mortez did a splendid job. She did come across well as a shy and under-confident girl. BUT I don't know if she's trying to look terrifying during the prom scene when she was covered with pig blood, but she didn't look terrifying enough. However her actions looked believable, so it does cover up for not so terrifying face. Overall she was the perfect Carrie.





Even though the movie is great as it is, it wasn't as good as I expected it to be. The trailer looked pretty impressive, but in the movie, only the prom scene was great. It felt like the movie went by so fast, because there was a lack of climax. And I know this movie is supposed to be unbelievable and unrealistic, BUT I mean seriously how can Tommy die after just being hit by an empty bucket? Even Carrie's mother could utter some last moans and sounds after being stabbed with multiple sharp objects. Frankly I think they should just let Tommy live.

If any of you want to watch the movie but are afraid that it will be too horrifying, its not. I was more afraid after watching the starting trailers of horror movies then the actual movie Carrie. Though it is not a must watch movie, the scenes where Carrie uses her telekinetic powers are worth the watch.

You can watch some clips in which Carrie is using her telekinesis powers:

But it looks waaayyy more impressive on big screen. There's a reason its a remake! (People love it)
