Hello,

Hello everyone and welcome to the Stephen King cast, one man's musings on the works of Stephen King.

If you join me last week, you'll know that we covered Carrie the novel, and this week we're

going to cover both of the movie adaptations. Now, when I say a movie, I'm referring to the

1976 and 2013 editions and not the

Rage, Carrie 2, or the 2002 USA TV movie or the musical. And actually, while I'm on the

subject, I had completely forgotten about the 2002 USA movie. It's just weird because I remember around that time,

there was just a strange relationship that King had with USA in the early 2000s. It led to the

Dead Zone television show and apparently a completely forgettable Carrie remake starring Claire

from Lost. So last week, I went into detail covering all the aspects of Carrie.

And what I want to do this week, I just want to dive right into the review.

I watched both versions last night, and so there's, the review is not going to be nearly

as structured as breaking down the characters and breaking down the themes and the kingisms

that are found within, you know, each of the versions.

It's, I'm going to review the De Palma movie first, but in that review, I'm going to kind

of weave in and out of the 2013 edition as well.

So just looking at the 76 movie, I mean, it begins with a game of volleyball on the yard um rather than in the

pool as seen in the 2013 edition um and unlike that remake this scene is not drawn out it just

it gets to it right away a ball goes flying towards carry carry swings she whiffs all the girls

grown and then causing her team

to lose the game, they reenter the locking room, each one's showing their displeasure at having

lost at Carrie's inability to do anything right. I think that it's just, it's a good move
