I absolutely love the 1976 Carrie film. I've loved it ever since I was a child. Recently there was a remake of it starring Chloe Moretz, and it's equally good. However, there is another remake of Carrie that was made for TV in 2002 that some people may not know about. I don't love it like I do the original and newest version, but it is a lot truer to the book. For example, this has the police conducting interviews and asking people about the conspiracy to dump the pig's blood, it has the rain of stones, but most importantly it has the destruction of the town.
Angela Bettis plays Carrie White this time. She's a pretty woman, She's a great actress (watch 'May') but her performance of Carrie just came off as awkward. Maybe that's the way she wanted to portray the character, but I think Sissy and Chloe were better. Emilie De Ravin made a good Miss Desjardin. She was very conniving and vicious. I liked Rena Sofer's performance as Miss Desjardin. She was more strict and more authoritative than Judy Greer in the 2013 remake. Patricia Clarkson was kinda bland as Margaret White. She wasn't as crazy as Piper Laurie, nor psychotic as Julianne Moore.
Carrie White is a very shy girl who has no friends and a crazy religious mom who constantly locks her in the closet. When she gets her first period during gym class, all the girls humiliate her. This starts a chain of events when Carrie finds out she has telekinesis; the power to move objects with her mind. When Sue Snell feels bad for mocking Carrie, she asks her boyfriend, Tommy Ross to take Carrie to the prom.
When Carrie is crowned Prom Queen, the bucket of pig's blood is poured and all hell breaks loose. The story of Carrie is probably my absolute favorite by Stephen King. If you love the story, you may enjoy this interpretation of CARRIE!!!
