Review: Carrie (1976)

Bad news: the remake of Carrie, a film that I've been looking forward to for the past couple of months, has been pushed back by several months, from March 15 to October 18. Good news: that means that the makers of the film must have quite a bit of faith in this movie doing well, given that the new release date is just two weeks before Halloween, i.e. prime horror movie season, and so far the only competition is the next installment in that aging dinosaur known as the Paranormal Activity series.
(EDIT: Just realized that it also has to compete with the remake of Oldboy. So that makes three horror films opening this October.)
('NUTHER EDIT: According to the director, the Carrie remake was delayed because of the Sandy Hook shooting. Even though I don't buy into the garbage that claims violent media causes killing sprees, I do get that a film with this kind of subject matter, just three months later, might bring back bad memories for those who had been in the school at the time.)
Even better news: this has given me reason to write my long-overdue review of the original version of Carrie...
