I can remember watching the original when i was younger and the whole feel of the film was completely spellbinding. It was so strange and creepy and different to anything else at the time - it wasnt a cheesy slasher.
The new one looks set to be amazing, with young starlett Chloe Grace Moretz cast as the main role. Moretz is currently one of my favourite hollywood ladies, at just 15 years old she has already starred in some of the best films in the last 5 years - Kick Ass with Nicholas Cage, Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp and 500 days of summer with Joseph Gordon Levitt. She is also no stranger to horror films and intense roles - after playing lead characters in both The Amityville Horror and Let Me In. I'm aware most people turn their noses up at remakes - especially when they are remakes of such legendary films, but I always like to give them a go, especially when the actors and actresses have been so well picked. (also because the A Nightmare on Elm St remake in 2010 is, to this day, one of my favourite horror films!)
so yeah, this is basically me just having a little excited rant about Carrie! Keep your eyes out for the official trailer coming soon...
