Carrie (2002) watch online

Carrie is a 2002 supernatural horror television film, based on the 1974 novel by Stephen King. It is the second film adaptation and a re-imagining of the novel, and the third film in the Carrie franchise. The film was written by Bryan Fuller, directed by David Carson, and stars Angela Bettis in the leading role. In the story, Carrie White, a shy girl who is harassed by her schoolmates, disappears and a series of flashbacks reveal what has happened to her.

An international co-production between Canada and the United States, Carrie was produced by Trilogy Entertainment Group and MGM Television at the request of television network NBC. Filmed in Vancouver, it was commissioned as a stand-alone feature by the network but the studios intended it as a backdoor pilot for a potential television series. The ending of the novel was changed accordingly, but no follow-up series was ever produced.

The film premiered on NBC on November 4, 2002, when it was viewed by 12.21 million people. Despite receiving award nominations for the Saturn Award for Best Television Presentation at the 29th Saturn Awards and an American Society of Cinematographers Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography in Motion Picture, Limited Series, or Pilot Made for Television at the 2002 American Society of Cinematographers Awards, the film was panned by critics. It was criticized for poor special effects, lack of a horror atmosphere, and long runtime; however, the performances from the cast, particularly Bettis and Patricia Clarkson, were heavily acclaimed.
