Own CARRIE On DVD And Blu-ray On January 14th; PLUS Blu-ray Features Alternate Ending

The year's Halloween haunt this year was none other than the re-imagining of Brian DePalma's iconic psychic horror film Carrie, and now you can own it on DVD and Blu-ray in just a little over a month. 

The film, directed by Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry), stars Chloe Grace Moretz as the terribly shy and awkward Carrie White who is sheltered and abused by her religious zealot of a mother (played by Julianne Moore). This marks the second adaptation (and fourth film based off) of legendary horror writer Stephen King's debut novella.

The first TV spot for the re-imagining of Brian DePalma's classic film is here. Check it out below. 

Starring Chloe Grace Moretz, Julianne Moore, Judy Greer and Portia Doubleday: “The film is a reimagining of the classic horror tale about Carrie White (Chloë Grace Moretz), a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother (Julianne Moore), who unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom.”

New CARRIE Featurette Features the Same Clips, Same Vibe, Same Ideas

Hello everyone! I'm back, after yet another beautiful weekend in sunny Southern California. I hope everyone had a lovely time, I certainly know I did.

We're starting the week off with the latest featurette, a UK featurette to be exact, for Kimberly Peirce's Carrie. In this re-imagining of Brian DePalma's original horror masterpiece, but more importantly Stephen King's debut novel, we see the tragic story of the supernaturally gifted Carrie White and what happens when you push that creepy quiet kid one step too far.

The official synopsis: “The film is a reimagining of the classic horror tale about Carrie White (Chloë Grace Moretz), a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother (Julianne Moore), who unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom.”

Now, when we saw the first trailer for this, I was pretty stoked. I love the novel (it's a short read, get off your lazy asses and go check it out at the library), and while the film is good I feel that it never properly conveyed the true emotion and grit of the novel. In fact, I was going to write an entire series on Stephen King and his novels, comparing the literary works to their big screen counterparts, however I realized that there is not one book that I feel was properly (or even close to) coveneyed on the big screen.

REGARDLESS, I thought the first little teaser looked pretty damn cool. "We're finally going to see the destruction of the ENTIRE town," I thought to myself. However, as time has progressed we've been treated to literally the EXACT same trailer, with minor tweaks throughout, ever since. The level of excitement has decreased quite a bit, however, I'm still excited to see it and I think it's going to be a perfect film for the Halloween season.

Check out the UK trailer below, and as always, sound off in the comments below!
