Title: so-so sequel...
Product review: The sequel to the 1976 film based on Stephen King's novel, "Carrie" seems sort of like a reason to bring back characters who get a gory death. But, it plays reasonably well, with Emily Bergl marginally well playing Rachel, Carrie's half-sister. It seems like a watered-down plot of the original "Carrie," with lots of gratutious sex, nudity, and gore than the first, but it seems to be a sort of shadow to "Carrie," more than a sequel, like Roger Ebert said.The only good thing about this is that it has Amy Irving reviving her '76 character Ms. Snell, the only main character left living at the movie. What happened to Rachel, well, you'll have to see the movie for yourself...This is only a movie for star watching (Mena Suvari "American Beauty," Zachary Ty Bryan), die-hard Carrie fans, people who like it because of the nudity and sex in this film and undemanding fans of cheap gore and predictable chills.Rated R for sexuality/nudity, graphic horror violence and gore, and for language.
