Run Time:100 Minutes
Released: October 7, 2013
Review
I feel this 2013 adaptation of Carrie by Stephen King was
good. It wasn't great but it was good and I really enjoyed it. I really like
how the put a modern twist to it making it more watchable to our generation.
The movie also got most of the bigger scenes pretty spot on with minor changed
so I liked that. I also loved all of the direct quotes I spotted.
The changed a few minor detailed like scissors instead a
butchers knife at Carrie's birth, Pink rather than red dress and 7 and 10:30
Pick up and curfew rather than 7:20 and 1. For some reason these things just
bothered me a little. I also wish they hadn't off missed out a lot of the
little things. I would have liked to see the scene when Carrie was three and
Margret went nuts. I also would of liked to see cut ins of the bits of writing
from Sue's book and news articles in the movie. As I said in my Carrie book
review I feel these future writings gave a real sense of anticipation of what
was to come and I didn't get that in the movie.
That sounds like a lot of complaints but overall I loved it.
The book is definitely better and I feel to get the whole movie you need to
have all the knowledge that the book gives you. But I would definitely
recommend this film.
