Stick with this one, it beats the remake!

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2014)

In 2013 a really lousy adaptation of Carrie was created. The 1976 original is the best, hands-down.
Carrie is the shy, quiet and weird girl in high school who nobody likes; one day she has her period in gym and is bugged by other girls until she shows a display of weird powers. Her only friend is the teacher, who pities her more than anything else. Her mom is an abusive religious nutter who locks up her daughter to force her to pray. One day at school things go too far and Carrie uses her powers to turn the tables on everyone else.
Sissy Spacek was the best actress for Carrie out of all the remakes. Piper Laurie was amazing at her role as the insanely religious Margaret White, the soundtrack was really spectacular and they managed to capture a creepy atmosphere and some gore without overdoing it, while also sharing a powerful message about bullying.
Don't watch the remake, stick with this one, it's much better.
