I can't knock remakes because two of the GOAT horror movies are remakes. The '78 "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and John Carpenter's "The Thing" are both remakes.

If this was something like "Let The Right One In", which came out in '08, then they had a remake out 2 years later, I could understand. But "Carrie" dropped in 1976. A remake is fine.

Besides, this movie is closer to the book. The OG movie changed all kinds of shyt.

on a side note, it looks like they giving her too many powers.. I was waiting for Professor X to come rolling up in the trailer at any moment. A young Jean Grey :wtf:

It's based on the original Stephen King novel (not as much the 70's film). Why would they change it?

Because most people don't know how powerful she is due to budgetary constraints back in '76. Most of her rampage was just in the school in the movie, and most people ain't read the book to know she was full-on Dark Phoenix and damn near destroyed the entire town.

Thought Carrie was wack. She destroy the town and then what? Is it still the same cliffhanger ending?
