High school can be tough for many teenagers, but for Carrie White (Chloë Grace Moretz), it's especially hellish. A shy and awkward teen being raised by a religious zealot (Julianne Moore), Carrie is frequently the target of bullies. But Carrie has a secret talent: She can make things move with her mind. One fateful night, an especially cruel prank at her senior prom pushes her over the edge, and Carrie unleashes her telekinetic powers on all who get in her way.

Critics Consensus

It boasts a talented cast, but Kimberly Peirce's "reimagining" of Brian De Palma's horror classic finds little new in the Stephen King novel -- and feels woefully unnecessary.

Carrie resonates for women in particular because it touches on so much of the horror of becoming female that it's almost too real. I love that Kimberly Piece chose to honor that horror faithfully, even if it doesn't make for a radical re-visioning.

Moretz plays Carrie as either a constantly petrified, meek outcast or a grimacing destroyer. Peirce fails to build a connection between audience and protagonist.

C

A tired, unneeded copy of Brian De Palma's far superior work, with the small changes it makes adding nothing of significance.

6/10

Sadly, despite the talent involved in putting this film together, it still all winds up feeling remarkably redundant. We already had a Carrie movie.

1/4

The new Carrie offers no fresh insights into the material and delivers far less than what De Palma achieved both thematically and cinematically.

There's also a terrifically understated performance by Judy Greer...

I feel like the acting doesn’t compare to the original. I feel like Julianne Moore wasn’t domineering enough. The cgi was a little bit overboard

Carrie is an all-time classic and one of my absolute favorite films. It was incredibly well-made and deeply satisfying. Thank you to the director and the entire crew for bringing the prom scene to life so perfectly. I truly admire your work and hope to see a sequel, another installment, or even a remake someday!

“Carrie “I love this new version of Carrie from 2013. Great acting great special effects and costumes. I think if you enjoyed the original carry with Sissy spacek you then you will certainly enjoy this one from the modern era in the 21st century. I highly recommend this film.

I went into Carrie hoping for a fresh take on the classic story, but it ended up feeling pretty average. Chloë Grace Moretz does a solid job in the lead role, and Julianne Moore is genuinely intense at times, but the film doesn’t add much that feels new or necessary. The biggest issue is that it sticks too closely to the original without bringing enough originality to justify the remake. Some of the modern updates don’t fully work, and the emotional impact doesn’t hit as hard as it should. It’s not terrible, just forgettable. Overall, I’d give it a 5/10—it has decent performances, but doesn’t stand out on its own.
