Was Kimberly Peirce\u2019s adaptation of Stephen King\u2019s \u201cCarrie\u201d entirely necessary? Not really. But while Brian DePalma did set the bar high with his adaptation of the novel in 1976, Kimberly Peirce\u2019s modern interpretation of the titular novel holds up surprisingly well. It\u2019s not by any means what I\u2019d call a masterpiece, but in a world where we have the 2002 TV remake, Peirce\u2019s version is not without its charms. It doesn\u2019t garner exactly the big emotional punch of DePalma\u2019s but there\u2019s a very charming and interesting sincerity to this interpretation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After merciless taunting from classmates and abuse at the hand of her religious fanatic mother, Carrie White lets her anger get the best of her \u2026 and her telekinetic powers are unleashed. And when a prom prank goes horribly wrong, events spiral out of control until the terrifying conclusion of this powerful, pulse-quickening horror story.<\/p>\n

Director Peirce integrates the whole modern use of social media to add to the anxiety behind Carrie\u2019s ultimate unraveling. In some respects it works very well, and in other respects they implemented it so much better in \u201cThe Rage.\u201d Despite being woefully miscast, Chloe Grace Moretz is a very good in the role of Carrie White, a self-conscious young girl filled with insecurity and repressed rage that make her the target of her high school bullies. The highlights though are Judy Greer as Coach Desjardin, the well-intentioned guardian of Carrie, while Ansel Elgort is very good as the ill-fated Tommy Ross.<\/p>\n

If anything, what hinders \u201cCarrie\u201d is its lack of real teeth, pulling back when it could be absolutely relentless. Rather than massacring her entire high school class, Carrie leaves behind some survivors, and Coach Desjardin manages to miraculously be spared by Carrie, rather than become a tragic footnote in the chaos. Nevertheless, 2013\u2019s \u201cCarrie\u201d is a decent fourth adaptation effort.<\/p>\n
