  • Summary

  • Stephen King Month continues on The Blind Rage Podcast! For week three, we’re taking a look at the 2002 made-for-TV adaptation of CARRIE, starring Angela Bettis (MAY) in the title role. I’m struggling to come up with something to say about the original story that hasn’t already been said a thousand times. Unless you were born in the past decade or so, you know the classic tale of a teenage outcast who exacts bloody vengeance on her tormentors on the night of the senior prom. No one could hope to match Sissy Spacek’s masterful performance in the original 1976 film, but I always thought Angela did a great job at making the role her own. She is aided by a wonderful supporting cast who help make this modern retelling worthwhile. Unfortunately, it’s one of those movies that’s overlooked far more than it’s appreciated. But who knows? Maybe after this episode, fans of the original film, as well as the King novel, will give it a chance.
