The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999)

Better than I thought it might have been, but still could have been more interesting.Without spoiling,Most action comes in the last 20 minute of the film. And it's a very good scene worthy of any horror movie.I do agree with another poster who said that Emily Bergl's character was too pretty to play the outcast ugly-duckling. Honestly, she was better looking and more charismatic than ANY other of the young ladies in the film. I was mesmerized by her.I wish there was a little more action in the second act of the film rather than relying on faux horror character development. I didn't really care to know much about the other characters, other than Emily Bergl's character and her boyfriend---honestly, they were the only true interesting characters in the film.

The rage:Carrie 2 is a 1999 horror sequel to the classic chilling thriller Carrie(1976). It tells the story of 20 years after the events of Carrie,young Rachel's best friend has just died all because of a prank after sleeping with a jock and then he would dump them and give her points. Rachel then meets a boy called Jesse who is very nice who is part of the group and when he falls in love for her. The group plan a prank at the football party little do they know that she has telekinesis. I so so so loved this film,The acting was amazing from Emily Beryl(Taken)she was so intense but obviously not as scary and intense as Sissy Spececk(badlands,the ring 2) but I loved her and Jason London. The film had a really good creepy twist that's make you go all like..wow that was cool uh uh huh uh huh. Rachel is Carries half sister and that made me so shocked when I first watched it but ya this..this film was awesome guys. The rage Carrie 2 is a classic horror film that you really need to see even if you didn't like Carrie. Stay tuned cause I will review the two remakes,the 2002 and the 2013 remake.

An unnecessary sequel-cum-remake to De Palma's original which gets by thanks to the quality of the scripting and acting, surprisingly enough. It must be said that this movie can barely qualify as a "horror" movie and instead works better as a "teen drama" type film. The horror content is low, there are absolutely no scary scenes in it whatsoever, instead we get in-your-face gore to make up for the lack of chills. A large part of the film concerns the developing romance between the two lead characters which is delicately handled and faintly moving. Emily Bergl is no Sissy Spacek but makes for quite a strong lead, however the scriptwriter made her far too strong a character and able to fend for herself, whereas Spacek played a mentally troubled, physically inferior girl suffering from depression and isolation. Bergl instead has friends, a close boyfriend, is attractive and disliked by only a few at school. Where's the drama in that? Where's the reason for the gory massacre that predictably closes the movie? The plot is definitely this movie's weak point. It strictly adheres to the original CARRIE, throwing off only a few different sub-plots (the 'high school sex ring leading to suicide' is a nice idea and makes for some suitably loathsome "jock" type characters as the villains). As the movie progresses it follows the original more and more slavishly, ending in a re-run of the massacre and even a ludicrous ending involving bad CGI work (London sees Bergl in a dream, and she shatters). Amy Irving returns from the original in a thankless role, and her character is totally extraneous to the plot. Quite a few scenes are devoted to her and Rachel's real mother, who is broken out of an asylum to come and see her daughter. At the end, it turns out that whole sub-plot was a waste of time.Jason London (JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS) has a good solid role as the jock with a heart and the various high school cliché characters are fairly solid and hateable enough. Even a pre-stardom Mena Suvari makes a brief, tragic appearance, going from her ugly duckling character here to an angelic sexual character in American Beauty. One thing I didn't like about the film was the handling of the gore content, which was over-the-top and sometimes needless. Did we need to see the dog crushed under the wheels of a moving car? These scenes are ill-judged and rather loathsome. At least the finale is entertaining enough, where the gore content is upped and we are treated to all manner of bizarre (and deserved) deaths – decapitation, impaling by CDs, drowning, blinding and my favourite, unexpected castration. Although THE RAGE: CARRIE 2 is entertaining enough, it pales as a sequel to the original classic so one best ignore the first film ever happened to get a kick out of it. Otherwise you'll sit wondering just why they bothered.

Rachel Lang finds herself in a fowl mood after her best friend commits suicide. So what can a faux 'goth' half-sister of Carrie White do? Let the telekinesis fly in this unnecessary belated (by a few decades) sequel to a iconic horror classic.This film might've fared better had it been a stand alone film rather than a sequel to a beloved classic. However this IS a sequel (a point that this movie with constant callbacks to the aforementioned classic NEVER lets you forget) This is one of the two main minuses of the film (the other being Zachery Ty Bryan acting quite poorly) All is not awful as Rachel coming into her full revenge in the third act is entertaining, although not enough to sit through the rest of the film in my mind. That being said, this film IS STILL a million times better than the theatrical remake of Carrie.
