Carrie (2013)

So I know that this movie came out almost a decade ago but I had no idea so as soon as I found out I had to watch it. 

The original Carrie (1976), starring Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie, holds a special place in my heart. I watched it countless times growing up, and it remains a favorite horror classic of mine. However, I was thoroughly impressed with the 2013 remake, directed by Kimberly Peirce and featuring Chloë Grace Moretz as Carrie and Julianne Moore as her terrifyingly strict mother.

This modern version stays true to the core of Stephen King’s story but updates the setting to be more modern. The performances are outstanding. The remake also amps up the horror, delivering a more intense and fast-paced experience compared to the original’s slower, atmospheric approach.

Overall, I found the new Carrie (2013) version scarier and more gripping, While I’ll always love the original, this fresh take stands out as a thrilling reimagining of the story.
