History Film / Carrie2013

* MakeMeWannaShout: [[RageBreakingPoint Having]] ''[[RageBreakingPoint finally]]'' [[RageBreakingPoint been pushed too far]], Carrie lets loose a shriek of rage that knocks everyone at the prom off their feet before letting loose with her abilities on her tormentors.

** A varient: Carrie does this to Miss Desjardin during the prom massacre, though in this example she's not trying to harm Miss Desjardin, only to get her off the water-soaked floor before Carrie electrifies it. Carrie releases her onto safe ground once this is done, sparing the teacher's life [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe because of the kindness she showed Carrie]].

** [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]] with Carrie herself, While the 1976 and 2002 versions are implied to have been in somewhat of a trance during the prom massacre, this interpretation of Carrie White knows exactly what she's doing and specifically targets her tormentors with her telekinetic powers. On the other hand, she only intentionally kills the people who bullied her (with one exception),and basically lets the rest of them go, as well as saving Desjardin from getting electrocuted.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Carrie's poem during the classroom presentation makes reference to flames and ascension, foreshadowing the prom massacre when the gym burns to the ground and Carrie ascends to the gym ceiling to escape through the windows.

* RepeatCut: The climactic pig's blood dump on Carrie.

* AdaptationalBadass:
** Carrie in the 2013 version is more adept in using her powers. She's also much more ruthless in punishing her tormentors.
** Sue also goes to the prom knowing Chris is going to try something, fully intending to stop her. When the massacre happens, she can be seen calling the emergency services on her phone. And the confrontation with Carrie happens in the collapsing White House, during which Sue still tries to save Carrie.

* AllThereInTheManual: Heather's last name is never revealed in the film, but the wikipedia article lists her last name as "Mason".

* BeautifulAllAlong: Arguably, Carrie, when she dresses up for prom (though she wasn't unattractive to begin with, merely not confident with dowdy clothes).

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Chris's GirlPosse has Sue as the blonde, herself and Tina as brunettes, Heather as a redhead, and the twins with black hair.

* DemotedToExtra: A minor example. Kenny Garson was always a minor character even in the novel, but he was a supporting character in the 1976 and 2002 films as Norma and Tina’s boyfriend and accomplice in rigging the ballots (Jackie plays that role in this film), in this film he’s barely present, appearing in 3 scenes (one in which he’s at the farm ready to kill the pig with everyone else), only named once, and his death isn’t shown during prom, the last time he’s seen is when falls off the bleachers after Carrie forcefully closes them.

* DemotedToExtra: Rachel Spies is now a background character.

--> '''Tommy:''' So you know the prom is next week? I was wondering, if you don't have a date already, maybe you want to go with me?
--> '''Carrie:''' ...What?

* FlawlessToken: The minor characters of colour -- Mr Morton, George and Erika -- are all nice to Carrie in their own way (Morton's moment of AccidentalMisnaming from the book is also removed). Special attention is given to how George and Erika aren't laughing during the prank. Of course majorly averted with Tina -- who's the only non-white member of the GirlPosse and one of the most evil.

* RepeatCut: The climactic pig's blood dump on Carrie.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Chris gives an epic one to Sue after Chris is officially no longer allowed to attend prom. Her statements that Sue has been dreaming about her perfect prom with her perfect boyfriend her "whole goddamn life" really drives home to Sue how pointless her contrition up to that point had been, and leads her to plan to sacrifice her perfect prom night for Carrie's happiness.

* {{Shipping}}: InUniverse example: during the prom, the students get to vote on who is the prom king and queen. We see one person cross out Carrie and Tommy's names and instead write "Morton" and "Desjardin."

---> '''Carrie:''' ''(banging on the door, screaming)'' God! You son of a---! ''(the door cracks slightly due to her powers)''

* SuperpowerfulGenetics: Carrie's grandmother also had telekinesis it seems. She thinks it skipped a generation to her.

** Margaret has fully white hair in the book.

** Carrie's hair is mousy brown in the book, but blonde here.

* KickTheSonOfABitch:
** The twins Nicki and Lizzy -- who were among Carrie's bullies, implied to know about the prank (and in the original script were helping with it) -- are knocked to the ground and telekinetically held down while the rest of the students trample them to death.
** Tina who helps sneak Chris and Billy in, switches the prom ballots and plays the video of Carrie's first period to humiliate her further... she's whipped with live electrical cords, stumbles into an open fire and burns to death. Before this happens, Carrie hurls a decoration at her to isolate her from any possible help.

** Although Tina absolutely deserved it, Carrie tortures her first by whipping her with live electric cables -- while [[SympathyForTheDevil Miss Desjardin and George watch horrified]].

** Zigzagged with Carrie White. In the novel, Carrie is fully aware of what she’s doing when exacting her revenge at prom, and intentionally heads home to kill her mother and eventually, Billy and Chris. The 1976 film heavily implied that Carrie lost control of her powers and is in a trance. The 2002 film has Carrie go in a trance and not have any memory of the prom massacre. In this film, Carrie is in complete control and is exacting her revenge with precision, and is clearly enjoying killing her tormentors, but it was likely just a simple adrenaline rush while outside of her right mind because she’s instantly horrified by her own actions while cleaning herself up at home. Once again, she only kills Margaret out of self-defense and not out of vengeance.

* AloneInACrowd: Chris, when none of her friends will walk out of the detention with her. It's also done with Carrie after the shower video is put on Youtube, as she walks down a hallway alone while everyone around her laughs at her. In fact, it’s implied throughout the whole film with Chris that, aside from Tina, even her own friends don’t like her.

* EvilFeelsGood: Carrie gets extremely happy when she's causing more and more deaths and destruction at the prom. Particularly when killing the twins and Tina, she definitely looks like she's savouring the moment.

** Carrie White is also an example, as she has a slight evil smile on her face while killing all of her bullies. When she's ensuring the twins get trampled to death, she's positively giddy.

** Although Tina absolutely deserved it, Carrie tortures her first by whipping her with live electric cables -- while [[AlasPoorVillain Miss Desjardin and George watch horrified]].

** Although Tina absolutely deserved it, Carrie tortures her first by whipping her with live electric cables -- while Miss Desjardin and George watch horrified.
** Carrie even feels sympathy for Chris, who watches her boyfriend die and momentarily looks like a scared little girl (Carrie also didn't see a terrified Chris texting her father for help before she attacked). Chris then subverts this by still trying to run Carrie down -- and gets thrown through the windshield and blown up in a gas pump explosion.

** During her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Sue, Chris states that Sue didn't keep running Ms. Desjardin's suicide runs because she believed she needed to be punished, she did it so she could still go to prom, which is what she really wanted, capping it off by telling her "You don't give a shit about Carrie White, and everyone knows it." The expression on Sue's face states clearly that the barb hit home, and she starts concocting her prom scheme in the very next scene ([[ForegoneConclusion and we all know]] [[KillEmAll how that turned out.]])

** Minor example. Chris's father tries to sue the school in the book while fully aware of everything his daughter has done. In this, he seems to think she didn't do it, and appears to be furious with her when it's revealed she has a video of the prank. He's still implied to be the main reason Chris turned out the way she did, so, yeah, minor.

** The 2013 film takes this UpToEleven by revealing, in the first ten minutes, that Margaret tried to murder Carrie ''seconds after giving birth to her!''

* UpToEleven: The 2013 remake amps up the violence of the 1976 movie and the novel. For example, [[spoiler: when Carrie finds Chris and Billy trying to escape in their car, she doesn't just derail the car and send it crashing in a fiery explosion. She collapses an entire ''road'', destroys the car when it rams into her force field, chokes Chris with her own seat belt, levitates the entire vehicle, and sends it flying towards a gas pump, with the subsequent impact smashing Chris's face right through the windshield... oh, and ''then'' it explodes.]]

* {{Corpsing}}: The actresses playing Carrie and her mother have very hard times keeping a straight face. Every time Julianne Moore tries to get Chloe Grace Moretz to pray, she cracks up. [[spoiler:It's very noticeable in the final scene before Carrie is stabbed.]]

The film stars Creator/ChloeGraceMoretz as the titular Carrie White, and Creator/JulianneMoore as Carrie's mother, Margaret White, Creator/JudyGreer as Ms. Desjardin, Creator/PortiaDoubleday as Chris Hargensen, Creator/GabriellaWilde as Sue Snell, Creator/AnselElgort as Tommy Ross, and Creator/AlexRussell as Billy Nolan.

* MassOhCrap: The reaction of everyone at the prom when Carrie finally goes off at the deep end and lashes out in her fury.

* {{Fanservice}}: That being said, the gym class scene now happens in a pool, allowing the female cast to get into swimsuits and Tommy to have a ShirtlessScene. Sue and Chris also have some WhoWearsShortShorts scenes.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Principal Morton’s fate is left unknown during prom, Kenny Garson’s fate is also unknown. George and Erika are implied to have survived the prom massacre (George was killed off in the original script but the scene does not appear in the final version). Mr Ulmann is also last seen being separated from Tina right before Carrie tortures her. Either he made it out or was among those electrocuted moments later.

* AmbiguousAllegiance: Minor character Heather could be in on the prank as well, as Sue asks her at the prom where Chris is -- and she gives an evasive sounding "she's not here". But she's not seen taking part in anything relating to the prank, unlike Tina.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The 2013 version makes use of ItWasHisSled to show plenty of footage from the prom, including when the blood is poured on Carrie. This example may be a bit justified, as the book and film have been around for so long and referenced in pop culture so many times that hiding the climax would have proved pointless.

* TooDumbToLive: [[SarcasmMode Sure, Chris, trying to run over Carrie after you see her showing telekinetic powers and killing half of your school with them is a good idea.]]
