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.

My October Movie Marathon

     This October, I went on a bit of a spooky scary movie binge. I found myself going to the theater four times this month to catch all the Halloween season films I’d been looking forward to. It’s not something I usually do, but I couldn’t resist diving into the lineup of creepy, thrilling movies.

     I started with a sneak peak of Terrifier 3, which definitely lived up to its reputation for over-the-top gore and terror. After that, I saw another sneak peak this time it was Smile 2, which had me on edge with its terrifying jump scares. I then indulged in the nostalgic and delightfully weird world of Beetlejuice. Rounding out the week was Joker: Folie À Deux, which was as haunting as it was beautifully chaotic.

     It was such a great experience, and even though I’m not someone who usually hits the theater that often, it felt like a fun and immersive way to celebrate the Halloween season. The mix of horror, thrills, and even a bit of dark humor made for an unforgettable time.

Movies movies movies!!!

 There are so many remakes/re-imagined movies happening or that have happened in the last four years that I can't keep up. I still haven't seen the craft remake and now I see there is a new crow, Blade and a new Beetlejuice. I really want to see all the remakes of the movies that I loved and give them a chance. I know that the crow is kinda getting some negativity because of the way that the new Eric Draven looks but I plan on trying my best to keep an open mind and give them all a chance.

Priscilla (2023)

 PRISCILLA (2023)

 I don’t know how I’ve become so oblivious to what movies are being released lately. I just found out about the Priscilla movie and it was soo good. Of course that’s my opinion but I would definitely recommend it. It really made me want to learn more about Elvis’ personal life. I was never really an Elvis fan before but seeing his more private home life is fascinating to me.
