1/10
Really?

There is a term for once great things that has reached the absolute lowest known as "jumping the shark". saying that about this film is being way too kind and goes so below that term that it turned into "jumping the "jumping of the shark"

The harsh moment are funny, boring dialog,referencing lines from the original that have no context in this movie, pop culture jokes (they wont get old, right) incredibly bad CGI and effects, camera-work that's on par with battlefield earth, and by far the WORST ending i have seen in a long time.

The part which really pisses me off is that after Carrie kills her fellow classmates with some shameful CGI, the movie turns into Carriezilla as she goes around Maine destroying Stephan King's favorite place to write about. yeah, remember that from the original? they took a really great movie and wiped it's fat ass on it just to make a quick buck. i fell in love with the original because of how well it was done. i felt bad for Carrie because of how well she was played by Sissy Spacek. Yes, the original wasn't a perfect movie and it had its flaws, but this movie is so poorly done, I cried for twenty minutes thinking how could they do this to such an influential movie. but hey this remake was made just 3 years after the sequel (which the sequel took 26 years after the original, but that is a different story)

All in all, it's a half assed movie that takes an intelligent character study and breaks it into a million tiny pieces. the 1 and only good thing about it is that it follows the book more than the original movie. However the bad far out way the good in this movie. if you want to watch any reincarnation of "Carrie", watch the 1976 movie or read the book. you won't be disappointed. unlike this stain of pigs blood and tampons.
