Carrie Movie Review 2002

This remake (broadcast on NBC) of King's first novel was stretched to three hours (with commercials) by introducing new characters and using flashbacks. Face it, what you want to see is the outcast Carrie (Bettis) getting her telekinetic revenge on all her tormentors at the high school prom. That's about the last half-hour, so just fast-forward to the good stuff.
