Carrie is based on the Stephen King book of the same name. It stars Chloe Moretz and Julianne Moore, and it follows a girl named Carrie who is bullied in school and finds out she has telekinetic powers. The film is supposed to be a horror movie but unfortunately it is not scary at all. I had heard a lot of bad stuff about this movie, but it isn't as bad as people say. It's not good but it really isn't that bad.
Chloe Moretz does a good job as Carrie. Her character is always bullied, and you'll find yourself rooting for this girl throughout the movie. Julianne Moore plays her mother. She is extremely religious to the point that everything is a sin. Her character is supposed to be creepy, but her dialogue actually made me want to laugh. She gives a good performance but her dialogue is so over the top and I simply didn't buy it. She is creepy when she starts to cut herself, and the way they show it is pretty disturbing. Props to that. The bullies here are also extreme. They even try to kill Carrie, and I doubt real bullies would ever try that. The bullies are also cliche, but at least there were a couple of the "popular kids" who were nice to Carrie. The CGI was pretty bad, and the climatic scene were Carrie goes nuts felt way too short which is a shame since I was actually enjoying it.
Carrie is a film that you just won't remember after a day or two. It isn't too bad, but it isn't good either. Maybe if the dialogue was better, and some scenes didn't make me want to laugh this would have been a good one. Carrie gets a 2.5/5
