Entertainment Reviews:
3 stars out of 4 -- For the most part though, CARRIE holds its power to rattle, thanks to a sympathetic performance by Moretz...
Washington Post
Moretz plays Carrie as either a constantly petrified, meek outcast or a grimacing destroyer. Peirce fails to build a connection between audience and protagonist.

Rating: 3/5 --
Pulls off the unenviable task of being both respectful to the original whilst spicing the story with enough fresh twists that it doesn't appear like a scene-by-scene retread of its forebear.

CineVue
3 stars out of 5 -- A remake that doesn't see the legacy of Carrie White burn in hell.
Empire
Rating: B --
There is no way for this Carrie to become a classic -- it is far too close to the earlier film to escape its shadow. However, it works perfectly well and is worth seeing, except for those who abhor the whole notion of remakes.

Assignment X
Why a new version? Why a remake? Why a reimagination? The answer is because this new 2013 Carrie from director Kimberly Peirce is just that - a reimagination that harkens back to the original source material - [Stephen] King's novel.

Behind The Lens
3 stars out of 5 -- Wisely, director Kimberly Peirce returns to King’s book to spend more time with Carrie as she experiments with her fledgling powers.
