Since I screened De Palma's original film a couple weeks ago it seemed apt to post the trailer for the upcoming remake. Sorry, Phil. This is one unnecessary and bland looking remake. Chloë Grace Moretz is totally miscast as Carrie!
I agree, I don't think Carrie is quirky enough here.
Yes to the course field trip! NO to Frizzia driving, please no! This would be her choice of vehicle: http://www.vanning.org.au/images/strange%20vans/cat-car-funny.jpg
Hmmm - not quite what I envisaged the potential conversation being about when I made this post! However - I do find that hairy car in the youtube clip incredibly disturbing for some reason...
I know - there's something off-putting about the driver's rhapsodic enjoyment of all that long flowing hair... anyway, there's something about disembodied hair that's squarely the province of J-horror:
disappointing - and Carrie is not 'Carrie' enough :(

ReplyDeleteYep - Frizzia drives the minibus!
