Carrie

Every high school has its mean girls. You know the type -- beautiful, popular and cruel in equal measure, and always quick to go for the jugular of the nice, not-so-popular kids. The remake of 'Carrie' -- featuring a protagonist tortured by popular high school girls -- hits theaters today, so we're taking a look back at some of the meanest high school girls in movie history...

Coming of age is horrific enough on its own: all the new hormones, feelings and the ability to draw attention (whether wanted or not) from the opposite sex. Coming of age is particularly troublesome for young women, as evidenced by numerous horror films. The horror genre provides a perfect natural metaphor for what we go through as teenagers, from first periods to curious feelings about the opposi

Released in 1976, Brian De Palma's 'Carrie' (based on Stephen King's first novel) followed a young, homely girl named Carrie White who is tormented by her peers for being different and strange. When Carrie discovers she has telekinetic powers, all it takes is one last push over the edge to incite her wrath, and one magical prom evening becomes a blood-soaked hell. It's been 37 years since the rele

For a gal named Carrie White, she's sure got a lot of red on her. Watching Kimberly Peirce's 'Carrie' is an odd experience. If you've seen Brian De Palma's version from 1976, this new version is - and there's really no point in denying this - like watching a cover band. There's a tweaked scene here and there (including a new, creepy-as-heck opening) plus the addition of cell phones and references

What if a 'Carrie'-like scenario could actually happen? What if a person could wield telekinesis in a fit of anger? The latest viral video in promotion of the upcoming 'Carrie' remake reveals that people apparently still ask themselves these questions.

Ahead of its October 18 release, the 'Carrie' remake, starring Chloe Moretz as Carrie White and Julianne Moore as her religious mother, has unleashed a new featurette, complete with brand-new footage.

When an outcast is pushed too far by a cruel prank at her high school prom, she unleashes her telekinetic powers on her classmates.

Whether you're referring to Stephen King's original novel or the 1976 Brian De Palma film, one mention of 'Carrie' conjures up images of bloody, psychic vengeance during a high school prom. For this reason, all of the marketing for director Kimberly Peirce's take on the material has focused on the final chunk of the film, where bullied teen Carrie White unleashes her supernatural powers on an unsu

One of the more intriguing films arriving this fall is Kimberly Peirce's adaptation of Stephen King's 'Carrie.' Although the film has a big legacy to live up to (Brian De Palma's 1976 version is a classic), there are enough interesting elements in play here to keep us intrigued. Does a newly released motion poster offer additional hope for this project?

Yes, the summer blockbuster season is just getting started, but let's not forget another beloved genre: horror. Horror fans have just as much to look forward to as fans of geek properties in 2013. We've got a list of our most anticipated horror films for the rest of the year -- films promising spooks and scares, blood and gore, and all manner of things that get under our skin...
