Carrie
An awkward, telekinetic teenage girl is the object of relentless bullying at school and an oppressively religious mother at home.
Why it matters
A modern retelling of Stephen King’s telekinetic nightmare that blends psychological torment with supernatural vengeance, anchored by a chilling mother-daughter dynamic.
- Chloe Grace Moretz channels Carrie’s fragile fury with a fresh intensity, updating the iconic role for a new generation.
- Julianne Moore’s portrayal of a fanatical, abusive mother injects a new layer of religious horror and psychological dread.
- Practical and digital effects work together to deliver memorable telekinetic destruction without losing the story’s emotional core.
- A solid entry for fans of teen horror and supernatural thrillers, though it can’t quite eclipse the original’s raw atmosphere.
