Blood And Fire In First Teaser For CARRIE

Todd Brown, Founder and Editor

Chloe Moretz and Julianne Moore have some big shoes to fill with the Kimberly Peirce directed remake of Carrie. The original is a bona fide classic, after all, and one which is still very much held dear by horror fans. The stars have the chops to pull it off, however, the question is whether everything else will line up.

A reimagining of the classic horror tale about Carrie White, a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother, who unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom.

The first teaser for the film arrived online today so now you can judge for yourself. What say you? Looking good? Destined for the bargain bin? Take a look below.

"with the Kimberly Peirce directed remake of Carrie."
Peirce doing genre horror....I hope it works better for her then Neil LaBute.
Thanks Mr Brown.

I love, love the poster.

Juan Andrés Valencia

I love the poster as well. It's so creepy! That blank stare and the bright red color of the blood are used perfectly. Also, it follows the book more closely, that's more than enough for me to watch this.

Omar Hauksson

The teaser is also pretty great.
And could Yahoo PLEASE KILL THIS FUCKING OMG NOW! BULLSHIT THAT FOLLOWS EVERY FUCKING TRAILER AND RUINS EVERY MOOD THAT IT MIGHT HAVE CREATED!

Kurt Halfyard

I kind of approve of this idea, not that anyone wants my opinion. I like both these actors, and hope this works.
