Sony and Screen Gems have a tough task in topping Brian DePalma’s supernatural masterpiece CARRIE. The 1976 classic horror, based on the best-selling novel by legendary author Stephen King, has had a number of woeful sequels/spin-offs/adaptations over the years that have never truly did it justice. Fingers crosses Kimberly Pierce has hit the mark with her modernised reimagining. Early word from test screenings has been strong and Chloe Grace Moretz is always an impressive talent! We can’t wait!
A brand new TV Spot has been released for the horror film hitting US theaters 18th October and the UK 29th November. It’s a fiery one showcasing the death and destruction soon to be caused by the tortured, telekinetic teen!
A reimagining of the classic horror tale about Carrie White, a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother , who unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom. The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine, is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White and her daughter, Carrie. Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson but only Chris’ best friend, Sue Snell, regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross, to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc.
CARRIE co-stars Judy Greer, Portia Doubleday, Alex Russell, Gabriella Wilde, Ansel Elgort and Julianne Moore.
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.
