Carrie White (Chloë Grace Moretz) is a shy introvert who was forced into regular high school after her mother Margaret (Julianne Moore) had always home schooled her. She's been brutalized over the years and was almost killed by her mother during her home birth. She has telekinetic powers that she slowly tries to master. When she has her first period, she is bullied by the all the girls. Chris Hargensen (Portia Doubleday) posts video of the incident. Popular girl Sue Snell (Gabriella Wilde) regrets her part and tries to make up for it.
Chloë tries so very hard to be that shy damaged girl that was played so well by Sissy Spacek in that iconic performance. She's doing what I call near-cry-acting. She is always on the verge of crying as she force herself to look down like a shy teen. It doesn't really fit her. IMO she would make a much better Sue. Although I understand the big star always gets the big title role. She just doesn't fit Carrie that well. Sissy Spacek has that fragile look that Chloë is missing. The only way she could play Carrie is if director Kimberly Peirce allow her to go much darker. I wonder what would happen if Carrie goes to the dark side.
The addition of bigger effects and CGI is interesting but not always good. I like some of the action in the gym. The multiple dumping of the blood is unnecessary. The head through the windshield needs to be much better. Quite frankly, I wouldn't mind if the movie expanded the prom scenes even more.
