Carrie is a 2013 American supernatural horror film, directed by Kimberly Pierce, and is the third film adaptation of Stephen King's 1974 novel of the same name. The film was produced by Kevin Misher, with a screenplay by Lawrence D. Cohen & Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. The film was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Screen Gems on October 18, 2013. The film stars Chloë Grace Moretz as the titular Carrie White, and Julianne Moore as Carrie's mother, Margaret White, Judy Greer as Ms. Desjardin, Portia Doubleday as Chris Hargensen, Gabriella Wilde as Sue Snell, Ansel Elgort as Tommy Ross, and Alex Russell as Billy Nolan.The film is a reimagining of the classic horror story about Carrie White, a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother (Moore), who uses her telekinetic powers with devastating effect after being a victim of a cruel prank at her senior prom.

Hotter and Sexier: Inverted. While the 2013 version is still R-rated, the opening shower sequence is significantly toned down in comparison to its 1976 counterpart, especially in terms of nudity. This is justified by the fact that Chloë Grace Moretz was barely fifteen at the time; social services and law enforcement (not to mention Moral Guardians) would have had a field day if Kimberly Peirce decided to film her the same way that Brian De Palma filmed the 26-year-old Sissy Spacek. The added violence and bloodshed during Carrie's rampage almost feels like a way to make up for it. A straighter example in that this version shows Tommy and Sue having sex (filmed but cut out of the 1976 film)

Canon Foreigner: George's date Erika. In the book, she's a girl called Frieda, who is one of Sue's friends. Here, she goes to a different school. The twins Nicki and Lizzy don't exist in the book, though they share the same last name (Watson) as a book character. There is mention of a pair of twins with Thibodeau as a last name, but their allegiance to Chris is minor. The 1976 film had the Wilson twins, but again with barely any allegiance to Chris (one of them could be seen congratulating Carrie sincerely when she wins Prom Queen).

No Accounting for Taste: Chris and Billy's relationship is clearly shown to be toxic. He's quite abusive towards her, while she treats him like Dumb Muscle and insults him quite often, especially in the deleted scenes. None of their friends have much of a problem with this.

comment
Trailers Always Spoil: The 2013 version makes use of It Was His Sled to show plenty of footage from the prom, including when the blood is poured on Carrie. This example may be a bit justified, as the book and film have been around for so long and referenced in pop culture so many times that hiding the climax would have proved pointless.

comment
Tempting Fate: Played With: Chris sending Sue that provocative text about ruining Carrie's prom night nearly backfires when Sue rushes to the school and attempts to stop her from humiliating Carrie. Although she has every reason to be suspicious, Ms. Desjardin kicking Sue out of the prom arguably means she's inadvertently responsible for the massacre taking place as well, as well as her ironic line to Sue when she's asking her not to ruin Carrie's prom. Tina posting the shower video. Carrie might have simply walked off the stage in anger and tears with just the blood dump, but the shower video being posted for the whole school to see is where the line was crossed. Heather lying to Sue that Chris is not at prom, delaying her from finding her and sabotaging her prank.

The Sociopath
 Carrie (2013) / int_19851b86
comment
The Sociopath: Chris's behavior goes beyond teenage bitchiness. She has a total Lack of Empathy, a complete inability to take responsibility for her actions, and zero redeeming characteristics. Billy is also a little more accurate to his novel counterpart, being a downright thug who’s heavily implied to be abusive to Chris and has no qualms about bludgeoning the pig to death and shows little concern when the bucket kills Tommy. Tina is also an example, since she has a sexual relationship with her teacher solely for Carrie to have another bully, and gleefully uploads the shower video onto the TV screen during Prom to further humiliate her. Heather and The Twins are minor examples, as they aren't quite as malicious but still evil to Carrie.

Daddy's Girl: Chris is a particularly toxic example. Her father is an Amoral Attorney who has spoiled her into a monstrous person, though he's also implied to be somewhat abusive. She still refers to him as 'daddy' and even after the incident at the prom, she starts to text him "daddy, come help me" — but of course Billy stops her.

Pay Evil unto Evil: The twins Nicki and Lizzy — who were among Carrie's bullies, implied to know about the prank (and in the original script were helping with it) — are knocked to the ground and telekinetically held down while the rest of the students trample them to death. Tina who helps sneak Chris and Billy in, switches the prom ballots and plays the video of Carrie's first period to humiliate her further... she's whipped with live electrical cords, stumbles into an open fire and burns to death. Before this happens, Carrie hurls a decoration at her to isolate her from any possible help.

Remake Cameo: Nearly. They considered offering the role of Margaret White to Sissy Spacek, but they never asked her. Played straight with the same character in the Japanese dub, as Keiko Han, who voiced Carrie in the dub of the first film, voiced her, while her real-life daughter also voice her in-film daughter Carrie.

Mutual Kill

comment
Mutual Kill: The 2013 film has more or less the same sequence of events at the 1976 movie, with Margaret stabbing Carrie and Carrie impaling Margaret with the knives and destroying the house around them after her My God, What Have I Done? moment. The only change is that, before Carrie destroys the house, Sue shows up and tries to get Carrie out of the house. Carrie almost kills her, but instead gently levitates her out of the house after sensing that Sue is pregnant, telling her "it's a girl."

Cruel and Unusual Death
 Carrie (2013) / int_1e584efa
comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: Most of the prom goers, and Carrie's bullies especially, as they’re her primary targets. Special mention goes to Tina (whipped by electric cords, unwittingly walking into a burning prop, burning to death as a result), Heather (being flung across the gym by Carrie and smashed into a gym door, for Sue to watch), Jackie (being bisected by the bleachers while trying to escape), Nicki and Lizzy (being knocked down by Carrie and forcefully held down to be trampled to death), and Chris (got her face stuck in the windshield after her car was hurled into the nearby gas pump, after which Carrie just walks away).

comment
Bloodier and Gorier: The film is noticeably a lot more bloody during the Prom Massacre than even the original film was. There, most of the deaths were accidents brought on by the chaos (the nastiest of them was Miss Collins getting crushed by a falling basketball board). Here, Carrie hurls Heather face-first into a glass door, crushes Jackie and Kenny in the folding bleachers (complete with Blood from the Mouth by Jackie), holds Nicki and Lizzy on the floor so they get trampled to death, whips Tina with live cables until she burns to death, and then electrocutes everyone except Miss Desjardin. Also, near the end when Margaret tries to kill Carrie, she doesn't just stab her and then get killed by Carrie. She actually slashes both her leg and arm before Carrie kills her.

Adaptational Villainy
 Carrie (2013) / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: In true Carrie adaptation tradition, a girl gets this to become Chris's Beta Bitch. In this version it's Tina. The same could be said for the composite characters Heather and The Twins. Chris is also more antagonistic to the girls than she is in the book and other adaptations. She verbally attacks Sue and the rest of her friends after she refuses to walk out of the detentions, is laughing cruelly at Carrie getting blood poured over her, and tries to run Carrie down towards the end. Even after Carrie spares her, she still tries to kill her. Billy's friends were a lot less evil in the book. They didn't know about the prank and one of them was horrified when he learned what happened. In the film version, they're fully on board with the prank and help rig the voting. Casual dialogue can imply a whole lot. The movie takes a cue from the book, and strongly implies that Margaret's mother was telekinetic (in the book it was her grandmother). However, the film goes farther with the line "the devil keeps coming back...you have to kill it again and again." Implying that Margaret killed her mother, believing she was possessed. This makes her manic behavior and uncontrollable freakout about Carrie's power much more understandable. Zigzagged with Carrie herself, While the 1976 and 2002 versions are implied to have been in somewhat of a trance during the prom massacre, this interpretation of Carrie White knows exactly what she's doing and specifically targets her tormentors with her telekinetic powers. On the other hand, she only intentionally kills the people who bullied her (with one exception), and basically lets the rest of them go, as well as saving Desjardin from getting electrocuted.

All There in the Script: Nicki's last name is revealed to be Watson in the original script, where she resembled the novel's version of Norma Watson much more than in the finished film. Heather reveals in the original script that her boyfriend's name is Brian, Tommy also states in the script that one of his friends is named Brian Maxwell, implying it's the same Brian as he was also a popular student.

 Carrie (2013) / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: Played with. Tina having a sexual relationship with her teacher, Mr. Ullman, just to get him to torment Carrie further is obviously repulsive, but it almost saves her life during Prom because he tries to find and help her and they head for an exit, before Carrie notices them in time and she starts to focus on killing Tina. Margaret White’s kitchen knife, which she takes to Carrie’s room when she hears the ruckus when she’s practicing her telekinesis, this same knife is what she uses to cut her hand after escaping the closet (in a deleted scene), and to attack Carrie after she comes home from Prom. Freddy “Beakâ€� Holt’s camera, which he has in every scene he’s in, and what he uses to take photographs at prom, and what leads to his demise when Carrie sees him recording the massacre and sends him flying into a table out of anger for recording her.note In the original script, it would have served an even bigger purpose — as his footage would be used by the White Commission to confirm Carrie's powers. Billy’s trademark sunglasses. He’s seen wearing them in his first scene with Chris and all the other girls outside the school, watching the shower video on Chris’s phone while Carrie just watches them as she’s leaving. He still wears them in nearly all of his scenes, and accidentally leaves them behind after the blood prank. Carrie sees these sunglasses after looking up at the stage, which is how she realizes that Chris was behind the prank.

Mythology Gag
 Carrie (2013) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: When buying fabric to make her prom dress, Carrie takes the time to examine a nice red gown that's on display in the shop. A possible nod to the fact that her dress is red in the book, but is pink in every adaptation. The alternate ending of the 2013 film: Sue has a dream where she is taken in to have her baby, but after some complications, she is accosted by a pair of bloody hands, similar to the original movie's ending where she is similarly attacked in a dream when leaving flowers at Carrie's grave. A minor example with Heather, who wears a baseball cap during the gym class scenes, a reference to Norma Watson from the 1976 version who always wore her signature red baseball cap. Heather is a composite character of Norma Watson and Helen Shyres. Tina's death resembles something that happens to Rhonda Simard in the book.

Minimalistic Cover Art: The first international movie poster for the 2013 version of the film simply shows a close-up of Chloë Grace Moretz as Carrie, drenched in blood, with the Tag Line "YOU WILL KNOW HER NAME," playing off of the original film's fame to do most of the heavy lifting.

comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Jackie Talbott, in Billy's posse, is charged with killing the pig whose blood is used to humiliate Carrie simply couldn't bring himself to murder a helpless animal even after "psyching himself up" with cheap macho bravado. This just rubs in how evil Billy is when he kisses the same hammer and gleefully brings it down on the poor swine. Tina, despite being 100% complicit in the prank, looks visibly shocked when Tommy is hit with the falling bucket and killed. Jackie mentioned above is next to her, and looks similarly shocked. Of course, that could also be Oh, Crap! about how much trouble they're going to be in now. Chris likewise looks worried when Tommy gets knocked out with the bucket, though Billy pulls her out of the room before we can see if it's affected her at all.

Kick the Dog: Carrie reads a poem for her English class, and the teacher describes it as incredibly disturbing, asking Carrie is she's done or if she wants to torment them some more. Tommy's first sign of character development is him Calling the Old Man Out by muttering "asshole." When the teacher asks what he said, Tommy replied that "Awesome. I thought Carrie's poem was awesome. Didn't you?"

No Kill like Overkill: Carrie dishes this out to many of the popular girls. Nicki and Lizzy are knocked to the floor and held down as the rest of the students trample them to death — all while Carrie looks on in glee. Tina first gets a decoration hurled at her, is whipped with live electrical cords and stumbles into an open fire — where she burns alive. Chris engages in Car Fu, gets strangled with a seat belt, has her face thrown through the windshield and then to make sure she's definitely dead — Carrie hurls the car into a gas pump and knocks down a nearby streetlamp to blow it up.

Adaptational Heroism
 Carrie (2013) / int_3f45f1e6
comment
Adaptational Heroism: Minor example. Chris's father tries to sue the school in the book while fully aware of everything his daughter has done. In this, he seems to think she didn't do it, and appears to be furious with her when it's revealed she has a video of the prank. That said it's still implied that Chris turned out the way she did because he was a bad influence, so, yeah, minor. In the book, Sue quite willingly takes part in the tampon throwing, only stopping when Ms. Desjardin comes in. Here, she stops very quickly when she sees how badly Carrie is taking it. She also tries to explain to Miss Desjardin that Carrie doesn't know what's happening to her. In this version, Billy seems sincere when he tells Chris he'll help her get out of town, while in the book this was a lie and he intended to dump her soon afterward. Margaret is still abusive, but unlike other versions she genuinely loves her daughter and has a lot of Pet the Dog moments. After the shower incident she express anger towards the girls who made fun of Carrie, asking Sue Snell's mother if "there are any good girls" in Chris' group, and when she tries to stab Carrie she's shown to be more remorseful, claiming that she tried to do the same thing when she was born, but she chose not to do it instead, even saying "God let me keep my little girl". Zigzagged with Carrie White. In the novel, Carrie is fully aware of what she's doing when exacting her revenge at prom, and intentionally heads home to kill her mother and eventually, Billy and Chris. The 1976 film heavily implied that Carrie lost control of her powers and is in a trance. The 2002 film has Carrie go in a trance and not have any memory of the prom massacre. In this film, Carrie is in complete control and is exacting her revenge with precision, and is clearly enjoying killing her tormentors, but it was likely just a simple adrenaline rush while outside of her right mind because she’s instantly horrified by her own actions while cleaning herself up at home. Once again, she only kills Margaret out of self-defense and not out of vengeance.

Blatant Lies: Maybe because of some slight bad editing (which is likely since a lot of her scenes were deleted), but it seems that Heather is unaware that the prank is about to happen at first, as implied when she says at the Hair Salon that she knows Chris isn’t coming to prom because she’s suspended, and when she tells Sue at prom that Chris isn’t there. However, judging by her reaction to the eventual prank, which is glee and laughter, it becomes blatantly obvious that she knew the whole time and lied to Sue.

Death by Adaptation: Tina Blake and Heather. Tina survives in the novel but dies during prom, just like the other film versions. Heather is a composite character of Norma Watson and Helen Shyres, and Norma survives the prom massacre in the novel and 2002 version. Helen's fate is unknown in the novel but she dies in the two previous film adaptations as well. Jackie Talbott survives the prom incident in the novel, and is killed off in the film by Carrie, when she bisects him in the bleachers.

Trauma Button: Strongly implied. Freddy (the school photographer) is the only person Carrie directly targets despite him always being nice to her, whereas everyone else she killed directly were bullies and assholes. As her first humiliation involved Chris filming her Freak Out and uploading it to the internet, as well as said video being played right as she's covered in blood, it's likely she thought he was recording her at the prom massacre in order to upload it and humiliate her further.

Adaptational Ugliness: Downplayed. Unlike earlier adaptations that portrayed Chris as part of The Beautiful Elite, here she is shown to be rather trashy — over-tanned, with too much make-up and ratty hair extensions. As noted below, this was done to give the impression that Chris could subconsciously be jealous of Carrie's more natural beauty. Another downplayed example. Judy Greer is far from ugly, but she's a full ten years older than Miss Desjardin of the books — who at the prom is said to look young enough to be a student.

Disproportionate Retribution
 Carrie (2013) / int_50b05d30
comment
Disproportionate Retribution: Averted, at least in comparison to the other versions: Carrie causes massive property damage and a lot of panic, but only kills the people she thinks had a hand in the pig's blood prank (though it’s heavily implied that were some innocent casualties in the massacre). She even lets Miss Desjardin and Sue go unharmed. Played with in the case of Freddy “Beak� Holt. While he was nice to her and was helping her out in the library with her research, he started to record the prom massacre and Carrie was obviously mad that he was recording her most humiliating moment of her life and promptly killed him with a flying table. Even then, he was still an innocent who had nothing to do with the prank. This version adds another layer: an offhand comment from Chris implies that Carrie has, on occasion, parroted some of her mother's more extreme beliefs about her classmates in front of them. While one can certainly understand them being annoyed by that, their abuse of her is rightly treated as an overreaction.

Adaptational Attractiveness
 Carrie (2013) / int_557838d1
comment
Adaptational Attractiveness: Carrie here of course is not like the chunky, acne-covered girl in the book — but played by the very cute and clear-skinned Chloë Moretz. Margaret White too, as her novel counterpart is described as ugly and overweight, while here she is played by the attractive Julianne Moore. Julianne is admittedly dressed down a bit, so this is downplayed. Going by the original film, Mr. Uhlmann (who was Mr. Fromm there) was middle-aged, balding and overweight. Here he's an attractive, slender twentysomething. Billy Nolan had first been played by slightly chubby John Travolta (and portrayed as a bumbling dork), and then by Lean and Mean Jesse Cadote. Here he's played by Alex Russell, who's been Mr. Fanservice in many of his other roles. Sue is a downplayed example, as her previous two actresses were attractive (and her popular status in the book indicates she's a pretty girl) but given an earthier look. Here, she wears more make-up and has flattering and often skimpy clothes in most scenes (she even gets a scene wearing just a towel). Her actress Gabriella Wilde was previously a model for Ambercrombie & Fitch.

Adaptational Modesty: As noted below, Carrie is covered up by a towel during the shower scene due to Chloë Moretz being underage. She was naked in the book and the other two films. Any sex scenes between Billy and Chris are not depicted. Even the one deleted scene where they make out on his car is comparatively tame, as they remain fully clothed. Inverted in another case, as this is the first film adaptation to show Tommy and Sue having sex (the scene was also filmed for the 1976 version but was cut, and is now lost). Another inversion comes from the gym class scene. In the book and 70s film, it's a volleyball game (and baseball in the 2002 film). Here it's in the pool, getting the actresses into swimsuits (and giving Tommy a Shirtless Scene).

Redemption Equals Life: Not only does Carrie save Ms. Desjardin from getting electrocuted, but also allows her to escape safely. Sue is also spared after Carrie finds out Sue's pregnant.

Flawless Token: The minor characters of colour — Mr Morton, George and Erika — are all nice to Carrie in their own way (Morton's moment of Accidental Misnaming from the book is also removed). Special attention is given to how George and Erika aren't laughing during the prank. Of course majorly averted with Tina — who's the only non-white member of the Girl Posse and one of the most evil.

Forced to Watch: Sue, when she sees the bucket fall on Tommy’s head, and when she sees Heather flung towards the gym doors, cracking the glass and leaving it blood-stained. George and Ms. Desjardin are also forced to watch Tina be whipped with loose cables and be burned alive by Carrie.

Meaningful Background Event: When Ms. Desjardin is confronting Sue and Tommy about asking Carrie to the prom, Tina gives Sue a cold look as she walks by, indicating that Chris's gang are no longer on good terms with her. Same thing with The Twins and Tina in the background of the gym when students are decorating for prom, it looks like they’re just watching the shower incident video yet again until you realize that they probably schemed together to play the video after the blood dump. When Sue first sees the bucket, Nicki and Lizzy are seen smirking behind her — indicating they know what's about to happen to Carrie.

Progressively Prettier: Aside from Chris, Sue, and Norma — the girls in the original 1976 film were a mixture of attractive and average looking (and even Sue was more down-to-earth looking with modest clothes and unkempt curls). The 2002 film made the cast a lot more attractive, but still downplayed Sue and Helen a little so they looked more like normal high schoolers. Here, all the students are supermodel good looking — with all the popular girls getting scenes in short skirts or hot pants, as well as bathing suits at the start.

 Carrie (2013) / int_67542e29
comment
This Is Your Brain on Evil: This interpretation of Carrie White is well aware of what she's doing during the Prom Massacre, and intentionally targets her tormentors. The adrenaline rush she gets while killing her enemies fills her with glee, but once it wears off, she is horrified by her actions. The only reason she kills her mother is out of self-defense, and she is subsequently mortified by her actions.

Jerkass Has a Point: During her "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Sue, Chris states that Sue didn't keep running Ms. Desjardin's suicide runs because she believed she needed to be punished, she did it so she could still go to prom, which is what she really wanted, capping it off by telling her "You don't give a shit about Carrie White, and everyone knows it." The expression on Sue's face states clearly that the barb hit home, and she starts concocting her prom scheme in the very next scene (and we all know how that turned out.) Just before the pig's blood prank, Billy tells Chris flat-out that what they're doing is criminal, and angrily tells her she'd better not blame it on him if things go south.

Adaptational Badass: Carrie in the 2013 version is more adept in using her powers. She's also much more ruthless in punishing her tormentors. Sue also goes to the prom knowing Chris is going to try something, fully intending to stop her. When the massacre happens, she can be seen calling the emergency services on her phone. And the confrontation with Carrie happens in the collapsing White House, during which Sue still tries to save Carrie.

A variant: Carrie does this to Miss Desjardin during the prom massacre, though in this example she's not trying to harm Miss Desjardin, only to get her off the water-soaked floor before Carrie electrifies it. Carrie releases her onto safe ground once this is done, sparing the teacher's life because of the kindness she showed Carrie.

Spared by the Adaptation: A variation. Sue thinks she might be pregnant in the latter part of the book, only to get her period after Carrie's death. This version confirms that she is pregnant, and Carrie even spares her for this reason. George is said to have died in the book (and his death was filmed) but it's implied he survives the prom.

Alone in a Crowd: Chris, when none of her friends will walk out of the detention with her. It's also done with Carrie after the shower video is put on Youtube, as she walks down a hallway alone while everyone around her laughs at her. In fact, it’s implied throughout the whole film with Chris that, aside from Tina, even her own friends don’t like her. Not very surprising considering what Chris is like.

Adaptation Explanation Extrication: There are several survivors of the massacre besides those Carrie electrocutes, and additionally George is seen helping people out of the gym even when Carrie locks all the doors. In the book, Carrie didn't leave all the doors open at once and a few people got out through the fire doors before she realised. It's also said in the book that at one point, Carrie lost concentration on keeping the doors closed, which allowed some extra people to escape.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The same plot point occurs predictably in the 2013 remake, with Miss Desjardin suspicious of Tommy and Sue's treatment of Carrie, and Miss Desjardin kicking Sue out of the prom after Sue receives a text from Chris hinting at the prank. Miss Desjardin even states that "You're not going to ruin this for her (Carrie)." Though Sue's noble intentions are made more clear to the viewer in the 2013 version, Miss Desjardin still has every reason to be suspicious.

It's more about her trying to head off what she perceives as disaster than threatening them if the plan goes awry, but there is the implication that if they are doing it out of nefarious motives, she will deal with them.

Didn't Think This Through: When Chris got her lawyer father to threaten to sue the school since they didn't have proof she was involved in the "tampon shower" incident, it never occurred to her that the school might actually have proof (in the form of the video on her phone). Having Tina play the video of the shower incident at the prom, too. Tina was at the laptop the whole time, and is known as Chris's friend — so it would be obvious who was responsible (although Tina herself didn't press play, as she's by the screen, so she could at least claim someone did it instead of her).

 Carrie (2013) / int_8ed5c6e4
comment
Asshole Victim: Chris, Billy, Tina, Heather, Nicki, Lizzy, Jackie Talbott, and arguably some of the other prom-goers who tormented and/or laughed at Carrie. It’s hard to feel sympathy for Carrie’s bullies when they’re all laughing hysterically at the blood prank out of pure malice and from earlier in the film when they continued to bully her. Their own vile prank cost the life of Tommy Ross, an innocent, all for the sake of a cheap laugh so it’s no wonder most viewers don’t shed any tears for these characters when they eventually meet their brutal demise Margaret White, too.

Laser-Guided Karma: This version makes it clear that Carrie is in complete control of her powers, so she dishes out karmic deaths to those who took part in the prank or laughed at her. Heather is flung face-first into the window glass, Kenny and Jackie are squashed by the bleachers, Nicki and Lizzy are held down on the floor and trampled to death, and Tina is attacked with electrical wires until she catches fire. Chris and Billy naturally get carved up in a car accident.

There Are No Therapists: It's mentioned that the state intervened to force her mother to stop homeschooling Carrie, so at the very least, somebody stepped in on her behalf at some point. Though you'd think, given they knew enough that Margaret's homeschooling was considered harmful, they would have outright judged Margaret unfit. That said, it's entirely possible Margaret was simply judged unqualified to continue Carrie's education.

Black Dude Dies First: Averted. Both George and Erika are seen among the survivors after the prom scene. Points to George as he was right in the middle of the prom trying to help people escape. An inversion with Tina, the only mixed race member of Chris's posse. She's the last of the bullies to die in Carrie's massacre.

When Ms. Desjardin is confronting Sue and Tommy about asking Carrie to the prom, Tina gives Sue a cold look as she walks by, indicating that Chris's gang are no longer on good terms with her. Same thing with The Twins and Tina in the background of the gym when students are decorating for prom, it looks like they’re just watching the shower incident video yet again until you realize that they probably schemed together to play the video after the blood dump.

Mass "Oh, Crap!"
 Carrie (2013) / int_97fa0a10
comment
Mass "Oh, Crap!": The reaction of everyone at the prom when Carrie uses her powers in front of the entire assembly to shove Miss Desjardin away from her. Up until this point, no one except Margaret had seen Carrie's powers, and it was a variable Chris and her posse had no way of foreseeing. It's safe to say they realize just what kind of hole they've dug for themselves...

Foreshadowing: Carrie's poem during the classroom presentation makes reference to flames and ascension, foreshadowing the prom massacre when the gym burns to the ground and Carrie ascends to the gym ceiling to escape through the windows. Sue is seen making a hasty trip to the restroom early in the film, which leads to the reveal that she's pregnant with Tommy's child.

The End... Or Is It?: The 2013 version has Sue visiting Carrie's grave and placing a single white rose by the headstone, which is vandalized with the words "Carrie White Burns In Hell". The headstone cracks and Carrie screams, hinting that she's Not Quite Dead. (There's no indication that this is a dream sequence this time.)

My God, What Have I Done?: After killing Chris and Billy, and blowing up a gas station (in the original script, she caused some more destruction in her town as well — Carrie is walking home in a daze and runs inside calling "Momma!" She then cries Tears of Remorse as she washes the blood off. This is preceded by another moment. Miss Desjardin is one of the survivors of the massacre, and she can be seen crying after she shares a look with Sue — having realised the latter was trying to stop the blood being poured, and the resulting chaos was partly her fault for jumping to conclusions.

The Beautiful Elite: Averted. Portia Doubleday was made to look less attractive than Chloe Moretz, being done up like a spray-tanned Snooki/J-Woww wannabe, yet was playing the Alpha Bitch Chris to Chloë's freak loner Carrie. This creates the impression, on top of the characterization in the script, that Chris might be jealous of Carrie's looks.

Period Shaming
 Carrie (2013) / int_a3422c3b
comment
Period Shaming: As in the book, Carrie is mocked by the other girls in her gym class for getting her first period in the school shower and freaking out about it. Given this adaptation has a Setting Update to the 2010s, one of the girls also films the incident and it gets played during prom after Carrie is covered in pig's blood, showing her bleeding and crying on the locker room floor while the other girls laugh and pelt her with sanitary products, adding to her humiliation. A few prom-goers laugh at the video, but others are shown to be appalled and disgusted at the bullies. Unfortunately, Carrie's mental state is so fragile by this point she sees everyone as her tormentors.

Alas, Poor Villain: The mean twins Nicki and Lizzy are killed off in quite a tragic way — Carrie holds them down on the floor while the other students trample them to death. They die Holding Hands. Although Tina absolutely deserved it, Carrie tortures her first by whipping her with live electric cables, causing her to stumble into an open fire and is then burned alive — while Miss Desjardin and George watch horrified. Carrie even feels sympathy for Chris, who watches her boyfriend die and momentarily looks like a scared little girl (Carrie also didn't see a terrified Chris texting her father for help before she attacked). Chris then subverts this by still trying to run Carrie down — and gets thrown through the windshield and blown up in a gas pump explosion.

Setting Update: Like the 2002 movie, this adaptation updates the text to the time it was made. Here technology plays a big part in it — as Chris films a video of Carrie's first period. Said video gets used to discredit her lawyer father's attempted lawsuit and gets played during Carrie's humiliation at the prom. Sue showing up at the prom here is now motivated by Chris sending her a threatening text message. Carrie researches her powers via the internet, and watches videos of telekinesis on YouTube.

Abusive Parents: Margaret White, in true Carrie fashion. She has a tendency to slap Carrie, hit her in the head with a Bible (a literal Bible thumper), and even forcefully drag her into the prayer closet. However, because she still shows some genuine love for her daughter in this version, she might be an example of a Well-Intentioned Extremist as she genuinely believes her own incoherent religious ramblings.

Too Dumb to Live: Chris and Billy trying to run Carrie down in this version. Sure, as the road is cracking up and you see an angry blood-drenched telekinetic coming for you, trying to murder her is going to work great. Even worse is that after Carrie kills Billy by stopping the car and making his body suffer the backlash is that she hesitates on doing the same to Chris since Chris is reacting the same way to Billy's death that Carrie did to Tommy's. Rather than take the chance to run, beg, or apologize, Chris's response is to try to run down Carrie again. She dies as well thanks to shattering windshield glass and running into a gas station.

Adaptational Explanation

comment
Adaptational Explanation: The 1976 film has a bit of a Plot Hole with regards to Sue suddenly showing up at the prom. Was she in on the prank? Or was she trying to stop it? The implication seems to be the latter, based on how she gets unsettled when she sees the bucket and tries to warn the teacher about it. However, it's not explained how she would have learned about this in the first place. In this version, Chris sends her a text saying an implication of what she's gonna do, and Sue explicitly goes there to prevent it.

Blood from the Mouth

comment
The film is noticeably a lot more bloody during the Prom Massacre than even the original film was. There, most of the deaths were accidents brought on by the chaos (the nastiest of them was Miss Collins getting crushed by a falling basketball board). Here, Carrie hurls Heather face-first into a glass door, crushes Jackie and Kenny in the folding bleachers (complete with Blood from the Mouth by Jackie), holds Nicki and Lizzy on the floor so they get trampled to death, whips Tina with live cables until she burns to death, and then electrocutes everyone except Miss Desjardin.

Kenny Garson was always a minor character even in the novel, but he was a supporting character in the 1976 and 2002 films as Norma and Tina’s boyfriend and accomplice in rigging the ballots (Jackie plays that role in this film), in this film he’s barely present, appearing in 3 scenes (one in which he’s at the farm ready to kill the pig with everyone else), only named once, and his death isn’t shown during prom, the last time he’s seen is when falls off the bleachers after Carrie forcefully closes them.

Evil Gloating: Chris sends Sue a text just before the prank to tell her she's about to hurt Carrie. This almost backfires, as Sue comes charging over to stop it, but is caught and thrown out before she can. While Tina is collecting the ballots from Tommy and Carrie, she wishes them “good luck� with a suspicious smile. Carrie White is also an example, as she has a slight evil smile on her face while killing all of her bullies. When she's ensuring the twins get trampled to death, she's positively giddy. Of course, they were mean, so one can understand why Carrie might be gloating.

Nice Mean And In Between: The popular girls, although sadly far more fill the 'mean' category. Sue is the nicest, feeling remorse instantly and trying to make amends. Tina and the Watson twins continue to bully Carrie and even ostracize Sue after her Heel–Face Turn. Heather is in between, as she seems afraid of Chris and is nice to Sue but still laughs cruelly at the prank.

Neck Lift: A variant: Carrie does this to Miss Desjardin during the prom massacre, though in this example she's not trying to harm Miss Desjardin, only to get her off the water-soaked floor before Carrie electrifies it. Carrie releases her onto safe ground once this is done, sparing the teacher's life because of the kindness she showed Carrie. She does this to Sue when she comes into her house right before she dies. Once again, she uses the move to spare someone from the destruction she's about to cause.

Zigzagged with Carrie herself, While the 1976 and 2002 versions are implied to have been in somewhat of a trance during the prom massacre, this interpretation of Carrie White knows exactly what she's doing and specifically targets her tormentors with her telekinetic powers. On the other hand, she only intentionally kills the people who bullied her (with one exception), and basically lets the rest of them go, as well as saving Desjardin from getting electrocuted.

Hope Spot: There's a brief moment where it looks like the prank isn't going to go off. First, Chris and Billy start fighting over who pulls the rope, as neither wants to do it themselves. Then they have a hard time getting the bucket to turn over, and it looks like the rope might break without dropping the blood. This is just to increase the suspense, since everyone knows it's still going to happen. A villainous example is also present. Heather is the first prom-goer to notice that blood is levitating off of Carrie, and promptly rushes to the gym doors and almost makes it before Carrie sees her and flings her across the gym.

Shout-Out: When trying to get psyched up to kill the pig, Jackie Talbott says, "Don't worry, little piggy, Uncle Jack's just gonna bash your head right in." It's very similar to Jack's threat when he's coming after Wendy with the baseball bat. When making a fake Youtube profile for Carrie, Billy suggests they list Bloodsport as her favorite movie. Also doubles as a Mythology Gag, as 'Blood Sport' is a chapter name in the book.

Chunky Updraft: Sort of. Immediately before unleashing her power, we can see that the pig's blood on Carrie's body starts to detach from Carrie's skin and to float in the air. Heather is the first to notice and some of the students — if not all of them — clearly notice this as well. Having a Mass "Oh, Crap!" moment, Heather and a few others realize something is going very wrong and to try to exit the room before that the carnage starts. Obviously they fail, though Heather got very close to the exit but Carrie noticed her in the nick of time, and promptly flings her across the gym.

Carrie even feels sympathy for Chris, who watches her boyfriend die and momentarily looks like a scared little girl (Carrie also didn't see a terrified Chris texting her father for help before she attacked). Chris then subverts this by still trying to run Carrie down — and gets thrown through the windshield and blown up in a gas pump explosion.

Fake Shemp: As Chloe Moretz was underage at the time — and therefore could only work for eight hours a day — several scenes had to be shot without her on set. For example a lot of Julianne Moore's scenes had her reading her lines to director Kimberley Peirce. And the gas station scene was shot without Carrie, who was then digitally inserted afterwards.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
 Carrie (2013) / int_eb8f64a6

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Several characters. Sue is the only member of Chris’s bitch group who shows remorse for tormenting her and gives up her prom night so Carrie can have one, which leads to the prom disaster that kills Tommy and her friends (if one can consider the rest of the girls “friends�). Ms. Desjardin, when she kicks Sue out of the gym out of suspicion, when she probably could have stopped it. She will likely be forever traumatized by this (in the novel, she retires from her teaching career forever after surviving prom, stating she’d rather die than ever teach in school again). Freddy “Beak� Holt is a minor example, although he was nice to Carrie she still kills him during prom, mainly because he began recording the massacre.

Evil Feels Good: Carrie gets extremely happy when she's causing more and more deaths and destruction at the prom. Particularly when killing the twins and Tina, she definitely looks like she's savouring the moment. Then again, considering the twins’s reactions to the prank and Tina’s being fully in on the prank, it’s understandable why Carrie was so happy to kill them off.

This version adds another layer: an offhand comment from Chris implies that Carrie has, on occasion, parroted some of her mother's more extreme beliefs about her classmates in front of them.
