This is a 2002 tv adaption "Carrie" based on the horror novel of the same title by author Stephen King. This version was directed by David Carson and the stars includes Angela Bettis, Patricia Clarkson and Rena Sofer.
A lonely shy girl named Carrie White lives with her religious fanatic mother while also is bullied in school because she started her period during a shower after a PE lesson. Things become out of control with her strange powers of "telekinesis" that makes her blank out during stressful episodes. Another girl in class, Sue Snell, feels sorry for Carrie and tells her boyfriend to be nice to her, even go so far as to take her out. The prom night is the most important.
This television movie is less brutal and cruel than the 70's classic horror film although this one is closer to the novel. It shows police interviews with the characters, and certain "report" style scenes based on the investigation. Also the 2002 version shows a flashback of Carrie's childhood that resulted in her sending fireballs to the house. This was going to be a pilot for a TV series that never happened because it wasn't very popular.
I rate this mixture of feelings of it but overall a rounded 6/10.
