Despite my initial reaction I thought this looked pretty good. If they've remade it from the actual book instead of the film, I'm all for it.

This is one remake I am excited about. There is so much potential here to jump away from the book for a bit and bring in real life issues.

Bullying by teens in school and on social media is a huge issue and would play well into the story if they take it in that direction.

They could go very dark here and pull off something amazing with small revisions to the original story.

initial reports are that it is more faithful to the book but who knows if that is just marketing.

it has been so many years since i read that book...i don't remember it being particularly special or upset by the any changes in the sissy spacek version though.

This year has been awesome for horror fans. I loved the Conjuring, WWZ, Evil Dead. Looking forward to this one and Jeepers Creepers 3 to polish off a great year.

i could not disagree anymore.

the conjuring was good.

wwz was one of the worst let downs from book to screen ever. i can't believe how much was changed for the worse to make what is an interesting book into a bore of a movie. i can't recall another book to screen movie in the past, say 5, years that annoyed me as much as this. plus, i don't think this is a horror movie.

Evil dead, like this Carrie remake, took an old film and updated it with modern storytelling and visual techniques, but evil dead the remake lacked all of that made the first a great movie.

Jeepers Creepers 2 was not good. i will reserve judgement on #3 (which i didn't even know was coming out).

i notice you left insidious 2 off the list. didn't see it but i heard it was terrible.

Looks good, great cast, unlike most remakes. One thing i fear is that they showed the whole movie in the trailer.

The key word in there is "remake". Once again Hollywood goes grave-robbing in its own cemetery.

What's the point in wasting $$$M's on remaking a movie that everyone agrees was as good as it could have been first time around?

Hollywood is scared of originality these days.

Looks promising. The girl who played Hit Girl in the "Kick-Ass" movies plays the title character. Julianne Moore plays her fundie mother.

Remakes, for the most part, are pretty bad.... I mean, the originals are enough.
Fans of the horror genre should always check out the originals... whether it's Carrie or Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Halloween etc., etc.
But I did like the remake of Assault on Precinct 13. Found it well-made, entertaining.

This actually took place in a New York coffee shop in the West Village. Was just uploaded yesterday (Monday, Oct. 7, 2013).
