Review – Carrie (2002)

Once again a Stephen King movie is subjected to an unnecessary remake. And once again it’s both longer and more watered-down than the original. If this had been the first film version of King’s first novel, it would have been okay, not actively offensive but likewise nothing to write home about. But since there’s already a good version out there, this just lacks a raison d’etre. Unless, of course, the new surprise ending is worth the three hours that precede it. Personally, I liked the old ending better. Mildly amusing
