Summary: A trashy sequel for a movie that wasn't even good...
Review: The first Carrie wasn't even that good, so I knew this one had to be pretty bad. Well, I guessed right! I watched it at a sleepover on Halloween night. We were waiting to get scared... that NEVER happened. Rachel wasn't a sympathetic character like Carrie, she wasn't that big of an outcast. High school life was totally stereotyped in this movie. Carrie 2 was like exactly the same as Carrie except for the 90s and ripped of all emotion. There's one football player who's too good to be true. They never really explain Rachel's powers. Then Rachel freaks out at a party and kills mercilessly and they have POINTLESS gore. We HATED that part, we were yelilng at it the whole time. Then Rachel is all kissing her love, but we are mad because she just killed these people in such horrible wayas. It was AWFUL. I HATED Rachel! She had no justice to do that! IT was a sick movie.... don't watch it. We miss Sissy Spacek!

Summary: My favorite movie in a LONG time
Review: When I saw the trailer for THE RAGE I had to go see it. Since I was such a fan of CARRIE this was a must see. Ever since I saw it in June I have been replaying my favorite parts over and over again in my mind. I definitly recommend this to any Carrie fans. A true must see.

Summary: Good movie - bad DVD transfer.
Review: The DVD of Carrie 2 is mediocre. You can see pixilization in the backgrounds, which detracted from my viewing pleasure. There were also some spots where I saw some mpeg splotchiness.

Summary: 2-4-6-8 who do we appreciate?
Review: This sequel to the horror smash 'Carrie', is yet another teen horror flick. However, with one-liners and special effects, this seems to be an improvement. The 'star of the show' Emily Bergl, gives a captivating performance as this year's traumatised teen. The support cast were average, and Amy Irving seemed to be a disapointment this time. Special mention goes to the twin of Alicia Silverstone, Rachel Blanchard (Clueless and Sugar and Spice) and Charlotte Ayanna (Jawbreaker) for playing the 'teen bitches' with a little more class than expected. As Monica (Blanchard) says "She should get extra points for being so skanky", I would have to give this film extra points for being so daring. It's not easy to follow up on such a hit, but I think they did a pretty alright job. Though good, I have seen better.

Summary: Sequels are not as good as first parts
Review: This is a pathetic carrie of the 90's. I don't know why horror movies of the 70's are comedy shows in the 90's. Carrie is no exception. The plot is not horror anymore. You'd better go back to the original movie.

Summary: Very Good...
Review: This movie was very good... I enjoyed it... I'm a fan of the original, Carrie, and this is a good sequel... The haunting images from the original, Bates High School and Carrie's locker room humiliation and the atrocious scenes from her prom, were very haunting... I enjoyed it a lot...

Summary: Better than you might think
Review: Nice cop-out review by the staff Amazon bozo. The real scoop here is that Carrie 2 turns out to be about three times better than you'd expect due mainly to two factors: Director Kat Shea's incredible way with adolescent characters and stories (see "Poison Ivy") and Chicago stage actress Emily Bergl's sensitive but strong portrayal of Rachael, half sister of Carrie White (BTW, if you know your "Carrie", you'd know Ralph White never died, so having another child out of wedlock was a real possibility). The "set-up" this time is almost nastier than the first, and Shea makes a bit of sense (and gives us a refreshing change) by using peer politics and adult pressures as the catalyst for making these kids act like such ***. Unfortunately, almost all of the great set-up flys out the window with a ridiculously campy climax that OD's on special effects. Whereas in DePalma's film, the best part was the climax, here it's just a let-down. But enough ***......it's worth a view for Bergl alone!!!PS: If you like this film, the DVD cut is a knockout with deleted scenes that showcase Bergl and London's great chemistry and a REALLY over-the-top ending that smartly was reshot.

Summary: A lesson to not taunt others, especially Rachel!!!
Review: An excellent film. The original CARRIE was a classic, but this is a new film within itself. The plot is basically the same as the original, but THE RAGE updates it in '90s form. Emily Bergl, (who plays Rachel, a gothic-teenager) is outstanding, and this was her first time in front of a camera (she's a stage actress). A movie that was released about six weeks before the Littleton tragedy, and this film shows in a way what taunting others can do to a person. And how cruel teenagers can be to one another, especially in school. A definite classic for anyone who hated being teased in school (like myself). All actors did a fantastic job, and it was great to see Amy Irving return once again as Sue Snell. The movie didn't do too well at the box office, but it has cult status written all over it. The DVD extras were a great addition, and a nice commentary by director Katt Shea. For anyone wanting to see a movie about the ultimate high school revenge, check out THE RAGE.
