I was expecting a different take on the story that would make it feel more modern, and more relevant for today's audience. But it's pretty much the same script as the De Palma version with minor changes here and there. I would have rather seen a shitty script that was totally different than the same script that I've already seen play out before. It'll make for a decent rental though.<br /><br />And yes, that infamous musical. Yeah, I should have made mention of it. Pretty much a disaster from the stories I've heard about it. I guess De Palma has the last laugh.Fred [The Wolf]https://www.blogger.com/profile/03208803636786210066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717349721694216715.post-937028865555995312013-10-28T23:04:02.132-04:002013-10-28T23:04:02.132-04:00WOW! Now that's how you review a film. Excel...WOW! Now that's how you review a film. Excellent post, Fred, excellent. I had a feeling this movie would not live up to the hype because (as you pointed out) what was the point of remaking it, when they got it right the first time. <br /><br />Oh and for the record, you might also have to add the legendary Broadway musical version of Carrie to the list of adaptations...I think it played less than a week back in 1988 and ended up draining millions from investors...none the less, they've tried remounting several other times.Pax Romanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951019083510283683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717349721694216715.post-70605264115396488872013-10-22T23:44:23.347-04:002013-10-22T23:44:23.347-04:00You're better off just with the '76 versio...You're better off just with the '76 version. As for the shower scene, no nudity. Very tame stuff. I'm still wondering why this film is rated R since it could barely pass for PG-13.Fred [The Wolf]https://www.blogger.com/profile/03208803636786210066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717349721694216715.post-41455142536902659262013-10-22T23:43:16.305-04:002013-10-22T23:43:16.305-04:00No problem.

I'll...I'll likely steer clear of this film. I'll just watch the '76 version if I want to see Carrie.<br /><br />By the way, I'm curious, is the opening showers scene as nudity-filled as it is in the original, or is it super sanitized?Chris Hewsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566568274862884325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717349721694216715.post-52078776796348499862013-10-21T07:29:43.698-04:002013-10-21T07:29:43.698-04:00Curiosity is still eating me up for this one...got...Curiosity is still eating me up for this one...gotta watch it this weekend!
