Overview
About the Film
Carrie is a 2013 American supernatural horror film directed by Kimberly Peirce, a modernized adaptation of Stephen King's 1974 debut novel. Chloe Grace Moretz stars as Carrie White, a sheltered, bullied teenager raised by her fanatically religious mother Margaret, played by Julianne Moore, who discovers she has telekinetic powers that manifest as her body matures. When a cruel prank at the senior prom humiliates Carrie in front of the entire school, her powers erupt in a catastrophic, vengeful destruction of everyone in the gymnasium.
The remake updated Carrie's story to the social media era, with the inciting bullying incident filmed on a phone and uploaded online, amplifying the humiliation beyond the physical space of the school. Julianne Moore's Margaret White was a more psychologically textured portrayal than Piper Laurie's operatic original, depicting religious mania as a manifestation of genuine mental illness rather than pure villainy. Carrie earned $84 million worldwide on a $30 million budget.
