could be consider some mild spoiler and but no more than in anyone else review of this film . i know that nothing could conceivably live up to the absolute brilliance of the original carrie and which be more of a film about social criticism than it be about set the gym on fire . carrie white be victim epitomize and and her story convey the helplessness that the truly exploited must feel . whoever conceive the rachel character for the rage must have completely miss the subtlety of carrie . for the audience to genuinely share the victim rage and s or he must be a sympathetic character a true outcast who be more a victim of circumstance than of his or her own vice . rachel be entirely too unpleasant to convey any sort of the emotional depth and connection of sissy spacek carrie . and she look and act like she should be right along side the attractive and popular brigade that she end up torch . she and like the rest of them and have a soul that be every bit a corrupt and whereas carrie be a complete innocent . it just doesn not work . there no satisfaction in see the pretty child not even the home improvement boy get off in this movie climactic scene . and it so unnecessarily gory . there be no actual bloodshed see in the burning gym . and there be one person in particular that this movie should not have have the audacity to kill off . but i would not say who it be . if you have see the original carrie and it the sort of character who die unjustly . at least they do create the connection to carrie appropriately while it explain a it should have be . but that and and the arm tattoo and which be do rather nicely and be just about the only thing this movie have go for it . yet another hideous scream knock off and and it taint the reputation of one of the most compelling film ever make . rating represent negative . i wasn not expect much and but i be still horribly disappointed . an unsympathetic character and a series of irritate pop culture reference thrown in for no good reason and and an end scene that pal in comparison to carrie gravestone shocker .
