Plot:
Outcasted teenager Carrie white is currently in her last year of highschool however suffering from being the daily victim of bullying by Chris Hargense and her group known as the ‘it crowd’. While living with her religious yet disturbed mother Margaret, Carrie is brought up in a strict religious environment of believing that self punishment is the way of answering for sins. This act is especially strengthened when Carrie panics after experiencing her first period and is recorded on camera as a prank from Chris. With Carrie’s mother seeing this as a sin she instructs her daughter to go to her closet and pray for forgiveness however due to the emotional distress of embarrassment and confusion from school this has resulted in her telekinesis power awakening. Upon discovery Carrie learns how to control this power and tries to keep it under control however with her mom seeing this as a sign from the devil and Chris plotting a prank at prom, the power Carrie has learnt to keep under control may prove to be too difficult when in the face of hatred and sorrow.
The constant transitional fades throughout the trailer make the pace rather slow but at the same time effective in the way it climaxes at the end. With the slow paced pans, zooms and eerie digetic and non-digetic soundtracks creates a psychological insight on the religious as well as isolated themes the characters are foreshadowed to face.
The soundtrack on the other hand in the second half of the trailer after prom was announced fitted perfectly in foreshadowing the madness and corruption Carrie would soon unleash and showing what her powers are capable of.
Although the sound and visual effects played their role perfectly the suspense and mystery left which usually captures an audiences attention and wanting to see more is little to none as it feels as though everything which happens within the film has been presented. The curiosity which the audience is suppose to be left with after a trailer is quenched by everything shown so far despite carries fate and what would happen after these events.
