Horrible

Rating: 2/10 (19 July 2009)

7.4/10? You got to be kidding me. This movie is horrendous. Not to say, that Carrie was one of the lesser Stephen Kings books, they completely raped his creation by this one. As for the main plot it stands OK, but it doesn't concentrate on the psychological concept of the story at all - the main thing in all Kings stories. No wonder why final scenes just comes from nowhere and looks totally fake - Carrie wasn't established as the character who could actually go to that point of madness, they didn't gave any kind of story of her early life and her psychological condition is never really described that well. All the performances sucked, her going crazy and killing all the people is extremely unsatisfying, mostly because you don't care about any of these characters due to sh*tty character development - you don't hate them, you don't like them - you just don't care. Music is extremely out of balance - none of the scenes had proper music and the slow-mo or no-sound effects were completely useless and ruined all the atmosphere there could possibly exist. They completely missed the point with this one and I can't even begin to imagine why so many people like this abomination. STAY AWAY FROM IT. Go read a book, yes, as I said, it's not that good like some others but at least you won't have an urge to kill someone, for creating such a worthless pile of doodoo.
