Horrors Abound In New ‘Carrie’ Motion Poster

Kimberly Peirce may not have been first name many would have thought about helming a modern-set remake of 1976 horror classic CARRIE, but when you consider her work on tragic drama BOYS DON’T CRY, she’s perfect. Who better to bring us the emotional angst of a meek and troubled young girl dealing with her changing body, alongside her attempts at fitting in at high-school and a religious nut of a mother, than the director who brought out a stunning Oscar-winning performance from Hilary Swank.

Of course, when it comes to the crutch of Stephen King’s celebrated best-seller, previously turned into a masterpiece by Brian DePalma, it’s all about revenge when Carrie White’s new found telekinetic powers come in handy on Prom Night. Wiping the smiles off many faces after being ridiculed.

CARRIE hits US cinemas from the 18th October and the UK 29th November. Chloë Grace Moretz takes the title role, alongside Judy Greer, Portia Doubleday, Alex Russell, Gabriella Wilde, Ansel Elgort and Julianne Moore. Check out this mosaic-style motion poster similar to the Mother’s Day one we got a few weeks ago.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
