Sorry guys but this was better than the original. The original feels like it takes forever and the are only a few scenes worrh watching and the rest of the movie lags, but this was enjoyable right from the first 30 seconds. The only semi likable char in original was Tommy. In this one kids are being kids and bullies, but some DO feel guilt,and most of the adults are personable. Totally worth it.
shareOnly thing that is better about this is that Chloe is gorgeous...except that doesn't do much for the plot, does it? Spacek was freaky looking enough to be believable as an outcast and able to pass as a little attractive with some makeup...fits the story perfectly.

That's interesting considering the remake is almost a scene for scene copy of the 1976 film. It is in fact so close to the original they had to give Lawrence D. Cohen credit for his screenplay so he wouldn't sue them for plagiarism.
The only thing you need to put in your pipe and smoke is the difference between reality and fantasy. You're talking about what could have been not what is. The finished and released film is what's being judged here, not the potentially better (or worse) movie that isn't available for anyone to watch. Plus you don't even know for sure if the original shoot was any better. You are just guessing it is. Usually when re-shoots are ordered it's because what's been shot is so bad they can't release it as is.

The only one good thing in this neuron & time wasting post is the url to your blog. Nice job, pal!

Its just so sad to see no one respect an opinion nowadays...
Be Brave and Never Give Up ^.^
It works both ways.

Thank you. My post was mainly to point out that not everybody hated it, which, in a world where most people only bother speaking up to complain, I thought was needed:) To the other person have fun flaring up this board. I actually ENJOY that I have different tastes than the norm and I am not a critic or blogger, just your average everyday person who likes movies. Sometimes the cheesier the better for that matter. While you won't catch me standing in line to watch Gravity or Titanic, I would pay double to watch Fright Night again, both the original and the remake. That's why we have so much variety in our choices, because not everyone has to like the same things.
As for my original post about Carrie I watched the original quite a few times as a kid and adult and my take on it was Sue had Tommy ask as a way to help Chris pay her back for the punishment, and only felt guilty in the aftermath scene at the grave. The gym teacher treated Carrie like it was her fault she didn't know about the period and only punished the others because she had to be seen doing something about it. While it has been a year or two since I saw it, I still felt that way.
Regardless, I am glad i watched it. I hope something out there this Halloween season is enjoyable for those who didn't like it.
It's just so sad to see "not daring to disagrees" being equated with "respecting an opinion"
When you're 17 a cow can seem dangerous and forbidden...am I alone here?
Ok peeps after repeated attempts to hack me, you win, I will keep my opinion to myself if it doesn't agree with the general public. Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.I don't even know where you are getting that from. You posted something that not everyone agrees with. You had to know that going in. Why is it "hacking" on you to have a different opinion?
This and the 2002 television remake are better than the original. Angela and Chloe are better than Sissy
I love you, Kristen Stewart. :) You are so beautiful and talented. I would love to perform with you.
and Kristen Stewart would have nothing to do with someone who holds your opinion, which is obviously nonsense.
share10 times better than the original! That carrie was so ugly it was distracting to look at her for long. At the very least chloe brings beauty and class to the role. Nevermind her enormous talent.
shareWell, this site has the original as 7.4 and this version as 6 ...
Rotten Toms has 92% for the original and 49% for this one ...
Maybe your opinion is not worth what you think it is ...
Carrie is supposed to be ugly and unpopular, that's the point ... having a 'graceful and beautiful' Carrie is just one of the problems with this awful version.
