Leave your thoughts about The Rage: Carrie 2.
| Village VoiceAmy TaubinA smart, realist drama -- I wouldn't be surprised if this one winds up on my 10-best list for '99. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleDoes what good horror movies do: It taps into the baser emotions. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEmily Bergl plays the misfit heroine -- pale Goth grrrl Rachel Lang -- with a nicely sulky empathy, equal parts hurt and hope. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasEven as you're wincing at what you thought was misguided earnestness, it's being subverted by filmmakers who've turned many of the genre's weaknesses into tiny triumphs. |
| Georgia StraightSteve NewtonThe best thing about Carrie 2 is the way the cruelties of the cliquish schoolgirls and macho jocks are built up so you're fairly itching to see them get their eyeballs popped out and their privates harpooned. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe original "Carrie'' worked because it was a skillful teenage drama grafted onto a horror ending. Also, of course, because De Palma and his star, Sissy Spacek, made the story convincing. The Rage: Carrie 2 is more like a shadow. |
| USA TodaySusan WloszczynaIt's not a cheap rip-off -- it's a credible sequel to a horror classic, and a sad reminder that some things never change. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliI have never been a fan of the original Carrie, but, despite the different slant offered by The Rage, there's not enough new material here for me to like the sequel any better. |
| Salon.comMary Elizabeth WilliamsThe surprise of the movie is that it actually does have a talented director and star. It doesn't begin to make up for the low quality of the story or the numerous other unfortunate elements, but it does suggest little flashes of something that, with more thought, might actually have been somewhat interesting. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsBetter than an opportunistic sequel has any right to be, but still pretty flawed. |
