Summary: 3 Stars
The sequal isn't all that different from the original except that Rachel appears to have great self esteem and sticks up for herself.The mothers in both movies are mentally unstable or insane, both Carrie and Rachel are outsiders, both had powers, both are in high school, both have popular girls out to get them, and both kill everyone along with themselves but managed to spare one classmates life in the process.
Part two seemed more like an updated version of the original. A sequal is a continuance of the original. This one was not.
It could have been so much better.
Movie Review: Good Rage!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is one of the few movies that's as entertaining as the original. But has the same ideas as the original like party scene which was rigged to inviting her there then everyone dies, so its pretty much like Carrie 1 except for the new generation. I love the part with her tattoo grows and the heart beats-good scene! I found it to be a great horror movie, and a much needed break from the original slasher films-not that I don't like them or anything!Movie Review: Sometimes I wish I could be one of the shiny, happy people.
Summary: 4 Stars
I feel exactly how Rachel feels in this film. I've thought for a while that the front cover of this DVD was so cool, and I finally decided to buy it on DVD. The little insert inside has an even cooler front cover!!! This movie hit a chord with me, although none of my friends killed themselves over a guy, or got filmed having sex. But I recognised a few people in it - the loner, the jocks who aren't old enough to grow stubble, the popular girls ... So many.
The film really starts when Mena Suvari's character kills herself, and this sets off a chain reaction of events. (Look out for Finch, if you want to see another American Pie character!) The thing I hated about that, is the prinicipal (played by Amy Irving, Sue Snell from the original - and she's so unrecognisable!) tells the school that there will be a moment's silence. Excuse me, someone's just committed suicide, don't you think the school should CLOSE?!
When Rachel has a telekinetic episode, what is seen through her eyes is black & white, making you notice it more, and has a similar significance to the red in Sixth Sense.
I thought Emily Bergl (Rachel) played the character brilliantly, and even had a certain quality about her - she totally reminded me of Sissy Spacek in the original. Someone's been studying the original! The way she moved, her eyes ...
True, the original is a classic, and always will be considered a classic, but this matches it perfectly. I really enjoyed it. I think if you hadn't seen the original, it would still be good. The finale is better than the finale in the original (I NEED to get that on DVD next). Lots of people (mainly the guys, and anyone with glasses) will be wincing during the ending. The thorns seemingly growing over Rachel's body at the end is a very cool effect.
The extras on the DVD were OK, the alternate ending didn't really make much sense, so you can see why they took it out. It's a pity some of the deleted scenes weren't kept in, some of them were brilliant!
This film is a must-see. It brings back memories of the original Carrie, and for teenagers, it will remind you of your good/bad days at high school.
Movie Review: Of COurse its not as great as the original!
Summary: 2 Stars
First of all the original carrie is and always will be a classic. it is one of my favorite movies. why they decided to make a sequel is beyond me but they did. of course sequels hardly ever live up to the original and this one doesnt. BUt I'll tell you what its alot better then a lot of crap being made nowadys like i know what you did last summer and scream. this sequel has an outcast named rachel played decently by enily bergl. she falls for one of the nice jocks in school played by jason london. only the school counselor played by amy irving(returning from the original) knows rachel has telekenesis and knows that her temper is going to get ugly. and her temper does get ugly at a party when a cruel joke gets played on her. and she gets her revenge. from flying killer cd's to a fire poker she gets her vengeance. I have to say i did not like wht happened to amy irving but i wont rveal what happens. if youve seen the movie you know what happens. believ me i was pretty shocked. and of course the ending is a bit stupid but thats what you get in a sequel. do yourself a favor and watch the original instead.
