Classic horror flick gets remade

The above video is the teaser trailer for "Carrie", a remake of the classic horror story from Stephen King about a misunderstood high school student named Carrie who is pushed over the edge at her senior prom. The original version of the film, released in 1976, is still recognized as one of the most effective horror films of all time. The remake slated Kimberly Pierce, known primarily for her Oscar-winning film Boys Don't Cry, to direct in efforts to give the classic horror story a fresh look for the new generation.

The teaser trailer, released only several days ago, is shorter than a normal trailer allowing for less depth in terms of plot, character and action reveals. Still, the teaser conjures a sense of fear with its combination of off-screen voices discussing the horrible tragedy at Carrie's hand simultaneously as the camera pans down a chaotic, fiery street. The camera halts as we finally catch a glimpse of our bloody, crazed character at the center of the film. I am not a huge fan of remakes of old classic films but I love the Steven King story at the heart of this film
