After the suicide of her only friend, Rachel has never felt more on the outside.
The one person who reached out to her, Jessie, also happens to be part of the popular crowd that lives to torment outsiders like her.
But Rachel has something else that separates her from the rest, a secret amazing ability to move things with her mind.
Sue Snell, the only survivor of Carrie White's rampage twenty-two years ago, may hold the key to helping Rachel come to terms with her awesome, but unwanted power.
But as Rachel slowly learns to trust, a terrible trap is being laid for her. And making her angry could prove to be fatal...
Take away the flashbacks and any reference to the original, then more people would have seen this, and i think the critics would have been a little fairer, because this isn't a bad movie.
It pretty much traces the same premise of the original, but giving it an 'emo/goth/indie' edge to attract the more 'cooler' people (a lot of music is talked about in this).
And it is reminisce of the high school movies of that year (she'sall that/The Faculty) all the characters of those movies are similar, and the leading actress hides a secret, and they have a same feel to them.
Must be the lighting or the fashion.
Bergl is great as Racheal, and this leads me to say again, why was it called Carrie 2? I'm guessing Raging Racheal didn't have the same ring.
Irving pops up as the person to fill in all the plot holes and London plays the love interest.
But this wouldn't be Carrie without the film living up to it's subtitle in the final act. It's gory and very graphic, and one poor guy loses his crown jewels to great effect.
There's the token big shock scare at the end, which you can see coming, but still makes you jump, and after you have seen this, expecting dirge, you say to yourself 'that wasn't that bad actually, it was quite good'.
So not brilliant, just a pleasant surprise.
