I wasn't too excited to hear that there was going to be a sequel to Carrie, just because I knew that they would ruin everything about it. I love the original, and the studios can't make movies as great as they were back then. I saw it, and like I predicted it just wasn't great. It was quite disgraceful to the original, actually.
The main thing I don't like about it is how the new Carrie, or Rachel isn't really that evil or weird. That mystique and her quiet and shy demeanor is what made her so wonderful and such a great horror film star. Rachel, however, is not even that shy. She doesn't even take the insults she receives, she says her own comments back. She's just too normal to be a psychopathic killer with telekinetic powers! And since you don't feel that she is that evil, the killing scene just isn't that great.
Please, just rent the original Carrie. You will like it much better. Hollywood producers today shouln't be butchering the classics like this.
