so I either had no time or was pitifully broke most of the time. As a result of this I decided to wait patiently until the movie I had access to the movie on either DVD or blu ray. I was so happy that I did since I thought that it was a tragic disappointment.
The movie “Carrie” followed the basic storyline. The main character, a teenage girl with telekinesis, is born to a mentally unstable Christian zealot mother who doesn’t even tell Carrie about her period, despite the fact that she is long overdue to start one. She is bullied at school by a group of girls, led by one girl in particular, and is eventually humiliated and in turn brought to the peak of her powers on prom night.
Nevertheless, what I didn’t like about the movie was that those who were responsible for making the movie seemed fairly safe, confined and unimaginative when it came to working with the story that they were given. For example, in a movie like this, I would expect the cinematographer to show a lot of very neat camera angles especially when it came to the prom night when the main character was using her powers. However, I didn’t see anything worth talking about or anything that impressed me much.
The dialogue in the movie seemed very basic and unengaging. While I do realise that most of the conversation in the movie takes place between teenagers and fairly young people, I still think that there was a lot of work to be done, since quite a bit of it sounded rather strained, bland and too simple for a movie that had so much potential.
The characterisation in my opinion was downright horrible since I felt that certain characters should have been expanded on a lot more and that would have added a lot more depth to the movie. Indeed, the writers are fairly limited since the movie ...
I thought this movie is a horror movie, as I was not aware of the book. Sure it started out as some troubled movie more like any other of the same genre. But I kind of ws able to relate to carrie who just wants to belong and why that has become so hard for other people to just let her be. Also there was her mother that did not help at all and only contributed to more of the hurts any child should never feel from their parents.

Technically it is a horror movie, the book is even better. What I liked about this movie was the strong message it portrayed about not bullying, and accepting people for their differences. Chloe Grace Moretz accurately portrayed a girl who was controlled by a religious mother (Julianne Moore was amazing as the mother) and pushed around by everyone else. Her character was complex and she utilized her emotions effectively.
