| 2013 Remake |
I went to see Carrie the other night and really enjoyed it. The genre of the film as many will know is horror. The film is a remake on the 1976 film that was based on the chilling Stephen King Novel Carrie. I like the storyline although thought it was fair coincidence that the girl who was being bullied accumulated these powers. I also found it had to believe that she would first start her period at 18 but maybe this was something to do with her powers ? I liked the role of he religious nut mother played by Julianne Moor. The
iconography of the film is very traditional to the sub genre genre of a slasher. There is lots of blood and weapons. The themes of sacrifice a shown in this film when the pig is killed to get blood to poor on Carrie. The low key lighting reflects the mood.
The setting of the film are typical of the sub genre teen horror in a school.
I liked the film and found that the sound effects and non diegetic music reflected the terrible morbid mood and feelings Carrie was going through.
