Summary: Stupid sequel to the original classic Carrie....
Review: To start off, I loved the first Carrie. Sissy Spacek was brillant at playing Carrie White and the whole movie was cool. Now the sequel? I give it 1 star. The acting is bad, the plot is a total copy-cat to the original Carrie, and the gore is soo corny. After watching the whole movie, I was very dissapointed. If you're a horror movie fan (or a Stephen King fan) go buy the original Carrie and avoid this garbage sequel.

Summary: Under-appreciated Classic
Review: After seeing this film for the first time at a friend's house I was completely blown away by how great it is. The only reason I can see that this film would ever get a bad review,..., is because it's a sequel to a Brian De Palma lassic. I recently rented the original Carrie to get a better perspective on this film and I can honestly tell you that this film not only stands up to the original but surpasses it in a lot of ways. If you watch this movie with an open mind instead of a preconceived opinion about of sequels I know you too will agree.The performances by the young actors in this film, Emily Bergl, Jason London, Zachery Ty Bryan, Mena Suvari and Eddie Kaye Thomas are amazing. The score is a perfect blend of modern and traditional compositions, to bad the soundtrack CD available here only contains songs from the film but no original score, maybe someday. The visuals by Katt Shea (Writer/Director of another great film Poison Ivy) are both breath taking and stunningly disturbing, as they should be. The story is similar to the original book but updated to reflect teens of today. The only sour note for me was Amy Irving's occasion overly dramatic acting, but it's great to see the only surviving member of the original Carrie film return to reprise her role as Sue. The last 20-30 minutes of this film is a non-relenting horror fest that keeps you on the edge of your seat and rivals any film sequence in the horror genre I can think of. Give this film a chance instead of assuming all sequels are bad and you'll be pleasantly surprised and want to see it again and again! Just for the record both Steven King and Sissy Spacek have publicly stated their love of this film.

Summary: Not the best but give it a try
Review: It was an ok movie but its not the original.The prom scene is way better than the one in CARRIE and this movie does have lots of gore the prom scene also rips off the nightclub massacre in HELLRAISER 3.For some reason this flick reminds me of the movie HELLO MARY LOU PROM NIGHT 2.Just give it a try and see if you like it.I hope they make CARRIE 3.

Summary: A good Sequel or remake?
Review: Carrie 2 is a good movie about Rachael (Emily Bergl) and how she lives with mean Foster-Parents. All she has is her Dog(A Basset Hound)and her best friend Lisa (Mena Suvari). One day at scholl Lisa commits suicide by jumping off the school and onto a car. Rachael finds out Lisa did it because of popualar people. Rachael herself is also tormented. The tormenters are Mark(Dylan Brunan)Eric(Zachary Ty Bryan)Tracy(Charlotte Ayanna)Monica(Rachel Blanchard)and Brad(Justin Ulrich). Strangly Rachael is falling in love with Jesse (Jason London)a popualar jock. Amy Irving is also in this as Sue Snell from the origanal. At Prom Rachael is finally made crazy. She uses her psycic powers to kill Mark,Eric,Tracy,Monica,and Brad. She also kills many more prom goers. I thought it was a great movie.

Summary: carrie 2 good than the first
Review: I just loved Carrie 2 because it carries on the story line from the first one and also brings back Amy Irving as Sue Snell. This movie however is kinda of a remake of "CARRIE" but much coller with alot of special effects and gore. but I don't just like the movie for the gore but for the very touching love story that they were telling.

Summary: Sequel that improves upon the predecessor
Review: "The Rage: Carrie 2" is more of a '90s remake than really a sequel, it manages to be much, much better than the cheap, exploitative 1976 "Carrie", which is the most overrated horror film of the late '70s. In the plot and acting, the sequel improves upon it. The caricatures in "Carrie" are replaced by more natural personas. Rachel (Emily Bergl), the protagonist in the film, is developed more believably than what Sissy Spacek. In a way, Bergl fashions Rachel in a way that we sympathize for her. Sadly, the sequel almost follows its predecessor step by step. Rachel befriends a jock, Jesse (Jason London) after the sudden suicide of her best friend (Meni Suvari), not knowing that he participates in a male-bonding game with his fellow athletes. His "buddies" find out, and with the help of the predictably bitchy girls who are jealous of Rachel, set up a plan to humiliate Rachel at an after-game party. Meanwhile, Rachel is developing strange telekinetic abilities... which one of her teachers, Sue Snell (Amy Irving, reprising her old role from "Carrie") tries to take Rachel under her wing and tries to help Rachel, but Rachel resists her advances. The relationships and chemistry are also well-developed. Rachel and Jesse elude charisma and genuine poignancy throughout, even with the film's shocking climax. Throughout the film, we feel for both Rachel and Jesse, even with the predictable bloodbath that ensues when Rachel orchestrates gory revenge on her tormentors. Nevertheless, the ending cheapens the picture as a whole, being predictable and not allowing to savor the antagonists getting their just desserts. The first part of the film deserves to be in a better, well-ended film. The shocking ending is somewhat anticlimatic, not to mention exploitative as well. Despite the horrible ending, "The Rage: Carrie 2" is one of those sequels that prove that they can improve on their predecessors as well as being a reasonably good film. Just don't expect a happy ending.

Summary: "Carrie"-d Away by Stupidity.
Review: Brian DePalma's 1976 "Carrie" was a horror classic that vividly illustrated a schoolgirl's fury when pushed over the edge. Based on the 1974 Stephen King novel, it lingered in my system for many weeks like a bad hangover. In the two decades since its release, I doubt there was an overwhelming demand for a sequel, but we got it anyway. This film, which picks up the ending of the original 23 years later, was howlingly stupid. It essentially repeats the very same storyline of its predecessor, but without DePalma's magic touch, chills, suspense, or dramatic tension. Emily Bergyl is Rachel, an alienated teen who is Carrie White's sister and shares her telekenetic powers. But unlike Carrie, Rachel has a social life and is assertive enough to stand up to her catty classmates. At the assistance of guidance counselor Sue Snell (Amy Irving), the only survivor from the original movie, Rachel learns about her past as well as her "gift," which is used to get revenege on classmates who pull a prank on her. I won't reveal spoilers, but "The Rage" is one of the silliest movies I've seen. It's predictable, crippled by some bad dialogue, and the only scary scenes are the ones that flash back to Sissy Spacek who played Carrie White in the original. Being such a fan of "Carrie," my curiosity was so intense that I had to see the sequel. But even with my low expectations, it ended up being a bust. What's more interesting is that it's being marketed to an audience that probably wasn't even born when the 1976 flick was released. The younger crowd will definitely call "The Rage" cheesy while the older folks who saw the original will no doubt be disappointed. Across the board, "The Rage" is an utter disaster.

Summary: Hell hath no fury like a telekenetic teen!
Review: I would just like to start off and say that I HATED the original carrie! It wasn't at all scary! it was just plain stupid! Now, THE RAGE decided to take a new egde to the film. The producers relized that a person with psychic powers isn't really scary! They are just simply A FREAK!so... they took the film as more of a dramatic thriller, rather than a horror film. Emily Burgl is the perfect person to play the role of "rachael," a social outcast. Not A NERD! A social outcast! Which already makes for a better role than the original, nerdy carrie white.
I like this movie because it brings a stylish sense of 90's teen culture to the "Carrie" film. Not a completely unknown cast, but mostly. Has a cameo appearance by amy irving and.. um I forget her name. She plays Cher on the tv show "clueless" and she was brekin myer's GF in "Road trip." you know who I'm talking about. Anyway, it's a great film with some cool special effects and a well-written storyline. Remember, Be careful who you're mean to.. or they might just turn into a loony, psycho freak and kill you! AH HA HA HA HA
The Rage: Carrie 2

Summary: Ham-fisted and pointless
Review: Within the first 60 seconds of "Carrie 2," you know what you're in for: Rachel's mother has had a psychotic break and is painting a big fat red stripe around the inside of the house, across pictures and lampshades and curtains. And then -- oooh, scary! -- drops of wet red paint start dripping down a statue of the Virgin Mary, sledgehammering home an allusion to the original movie. That's what you get this time: No subtlety, painfully blunt "nudge, nudge, this is a Carrie 1 reference" moments and an altogether ill-conceived sequel. We get characters without motivation (Mena Suvari stuck around just long enough to get a paycheck), development without set-up (why on Earth would the star of the football team fall for the thoroughly unpleasant Rachel?) and pointless mean-spiritedness posing as shock and horror (Amy Irving deserves better than this, and what happens to her in the movie seems like it was written by a 13 year old who finds "Beavis and Butthead" a bit too high-brow). In an era where every teen horror movie seems determined to sink to a new low, "Carrie 2" is the bottom of the pathetic barrel, and it makes you long for the subtle nuance of such modern "masterpieces" as "I Know What You Did Last Summer." See this for free, if you feel compelled to see it at all.

Summary: Every teen thinks terrible thoughts... Hers are deadly.
Review: Although The Rage: Carrie 2 is an unecessary and it doesn't live up to the 1976 original, it is quite entertaining in it's own right. And Emily Bergl shines as Carrie White's half sister Rachel. Reccomended.
