The 2013 Carrie, another reimagining of Stephen King
Directed by Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don’t Cry), the horror film tells the story of Carrie White, who’s bullied at school and controlled by her overly religious mother (Julianne Moore, (6 Souls). When she’s pushed too far at her senior prom, Carrie unleashes her telekinetic power on her small town.
Despite critical darling Moretz’s starring role, the 2013 Carrie didn’t wow critcs, earning a 49% approval, according to Rotten Tomatoes, compared to a 92% for the original 1976 film that stared Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie. Big audiences didn’t show up for the new version at the theaters, grossing Carrie $35 million.
Rated R, Carrie also stars Gabriella Wilde (The Three Muskateers), Portia Doubleday (TV’s Mr. Sunshine) and Judy Greer (The Descendants), and was written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (TV’s Glee) and Lawrence D. Cohen, who wrote the original film as well as numerous mini-series based on Stephen King’s novels, including It and The Tommyknockers.
