"Carrie the Witch" is derived from the novel of the same name by the horror master Stephen King. There have been three versions of the movie so far. The earliest and most famous is the De Palma version in 1976. Since I have not seen the other two old versions, so There is no way to compare the pros and cons. Judging from this new edition, it is generally a story whose form is greater than its content. Such a youth campus horror film may have been innovative in the 1970s, but it seems very mediocre nowadays. Not only the supporting roles tend to be flat, but the main characters are also very mediocre. At least Carrie's mother's fanaticism about religion is clueless and confusing.
In addition, as a horror film, the atmosphere rendering of this film is relatively unsuccessful. In particular, the horror that seeps into the pores in Stephen King's novels may only be fully felt after reading the original book, but when presented visually, it is a lot less flavorful. In the climax stage, Carrie's explosion was a relatively brilliant part. The little girl who was suppressed by both school and family became bloody and finally showed her terrible "fangs". The scene of continuously destroying dance halls and demolishing blocks Compared with superheroes, it is almost the same. It reminds me of MJ's "Blood on the dance floor". But in the final analysis, this is just a futile stacking of visual effects, and there is no terrifying effect at all.
Basically, it can be considered that this is a remake that wants to use the popularity of Chloe Moretz to get the box office. Since it is a small cost and small production, it is naturally impossible to keep improving.
