I think I said one time that I will not go see another movie based on Stephen King, as they have not been able to make any good ones in recent years. Well, I broke that promise. What can I say! I love Carrie, the book and the original movie (previous part one, have not seen the part two). I also love it that they have Julianne Moore in this movie. I also was happy to see Chloë Grace Moretz in the titular role.
I read somewhere that Lindsay Lohan was hoped to be in the titular role. I think I might have not seen the movie then. I think she is a bit too old to play a 16 year old girl. Now I was happy that the actor actually was young and not older one. As I have mentioned earlier I have trouble watching horror movies because I am so disappointed with them. So this time, I just thought that I am going to see a thriller. That worked. I was not disappointed at all, nor was I scared (because it was not a horror movie). It was a good thriller, although knowing the book and previous movie did not help. It did not do any harm either, like sometimes you might not like the movie because you have read the book earlier.
I'd put this movie to 'watch if you like (add actors name)' list. You might want to watch this if you are a King fan, but if you are a King fan then you probably have seen all the remakes of Carrie (original, sequel, remake, theater version and now this) and you might only get the dvd from sale. If you have a bunch of people who would like to go see this, then go to the movies. Otherwise I say wait for the DVD. For Halloween fun, this might be the only thing you can go and watch. There was Christine also available in the place where I watched Carrie, so you might be able to watch some oldies but for sure Carrie is available for Halloween.
