Nothing beats the original. And I hope this doesn't sound bad and i'm not trying to throw shade at Sissy Spacek, but am I the only one who thinks Chloe Moretz (the playing Carrie in the remake) is a little too pretty?

The original realness was captured in the first Carrie with Sissy Spacek because she was kind of an oddball. I liked that she was weird. I even read these little trivia facts on IMDB.

And it's hard for me to imagine Carrie as an outcast if she's pretty and blends in with the others despite her powers.
I completely agree with you. You're not throwing shade on Sissy Spacek at all. She was an oddball in the original and that worked beautifully. She was brilliant in that film.

Just the other day, I read an article about the original film. It's a very good read for anyone who appreciated the original.

As far as I'm concerned, there was no reason to remake it.
