Not the best Carrie
But still a really good interpretation i mean how can you go wrong with chloe?
Ok ok, maybe the title of my review is a lil unfair. This certainly isnt the best remake out there, but it sure beats all those Michael Bay abominations we've been getting lately. That being said, this remake seems rather unnecessary. Its a fun film, but doesnt really bring anything new to table. Brian DePalma's original was str8 up horror! This felt more like an after school special. I know that at its core, Carrie has always been a coming of age story -- and a WOMEN'S one to be more specific -- but I cant help but feel that this version came off as too much of a chick flick. Maybe its the result of having a female in the director's chair, I dont know. But also Carrie discovering her powers seemed much more stylized here, and they tried to make it look a little too "cool". Instead of the freakshow display that was DePalmas masterpiece. I read another review for this once and they summed it up pretty good so Ill repeat what they said.... "It feels kinda X Men-ish" lol
Anyway its a solid film, tightly paced, finely acted. Julianna Moore in ANYTHING just adds an instant credibility and class, so thats always good. Plus Chloe Moretz is a great up and coming actress. Nice job on her part. Although I do believe she was way too beautiful to play such an oddball character.
What I most liked about this DVD is that I got it a couple of weeks ago and it was in the front of the store on display with other titles for only $2.99 !!!! CANT BEAT THAT
