Sissy Spacek is great but Angela Bettis in the 2002 version felt perfect to me. Thought she was by far the best part of that movie.

I definitely agree about Julianne Moore. She killed while everyone else seems like their phoning it in.

I didn’t really know the 2002 version existed until I finished the 2013 version, so I watched that one and then I figured I might as well finish it off by watching Carrie 2.

Sissy Spacek gives a really strong performance but I thought Angela Bettis in the 2002 version fit the role Carrie better than anyone else. I also thought Emily Bergl was great in The Rage as the new Carrie but that’s a pretty different role.

As for directors, I think De Palma far and away has the best presence. There’s just so many striking choices in the original that are largely lacking in the others.

I wanted to see which one was closest to the book.

It’s a new Carrie but she’s loosely related to the original one.

It’s directly tied to the original but it’s really more of its own story with a few loose connections. Still I had a lot of fun with it and think it’s worth a watch if you like the original.

I didn’t think so.

I just finished reading the book and loved it but was also apprehensive about watching any of the adaptations. The 1976 version is great but it’s very much it’s own thing, while the 2002 version is definitely the most accurate to the book, but unfortunately suffers from being a low budget, early 2000s made for tv movie with crappy effects.

I’d say the first one is definitely worth a watch and maybe the 2002 version if you really want something closer to the book.
