Carrie is a movie that already exists, starring John Travolta, a pig, tampons, and Sissy Spacek's rolling horse eyes. Based on Stephen King's 1974 novel, it's quite good—smartly reframing the horrible, bloody confusion of womanhood and the hell of high school as the villain and backdrop of a literal horror movie. For…

Growing up can be a bit of a bloodbath for everyone, regardless of gender. And when it comes to how the actual gory details of the process are portrayed on film, young female characters don't often get the same freedom to explore the dark side of the process that young men do, unless you happen to be watching a horror…

Disney's Cinderella takes a turn for the (even more) sinister when it's cut over audio from the new Carrie trailer. This works a little too well. Shudder. Shuddering forever.

Patrons at S'nice in the West Village recently received a side of HOLY CRAP WTF with their delicious vegan cupcake and morning joe.

One of the biggest problems with Sex and the City 2 was that it sucked. It contained a single good Lawrence of my labia joke, went on for more than two hours (146 minutes, to be more precise), and invented unnecessary drama so its characters could rehash old plot points that were handled during the series. Nobody…

I unceremoniously dumped Sex and the City after I saw the inaugural movie while studying abroad in Buenos Aires. I had dragged my boyfriend, visiting from California, to the theater without shame — sure, he was only in town for a week, but it had been years since I'd seen those four women whose major life milestones,…

I'm actually starting to get excited about the new Carrie, guys. It's directed by Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry, Stop-Loss), co-stars Julianne Moore and Judy Greer and, if the trailer is to be believed, actually looks pretty fucking scary. And look! They've included the period scene!

The film won't hit theaters until March of 2013, but the trailer for the remake of Carrie — based on the 1974 novel by Stephen King — has arrived. Like the 1976 film directed by Brian De Palma, this new version — starring Chloë Grace Moretz — features Carrie covered in blood. But that's all we get to see, for now.…

When news broke that the powers-that-be in Hollywood were remaking Carrie, maybe you greeted the news with a good-natured, "Huh, this could be okay," as you trolled around the internet for a trailer. Maybe you were outraged that Hollywood seems bent on making your collection of 70s and 80s horror movies entirely…

A Michigan town is warming the heart-cockles of light news readers everywhere today, as the citizenry of Saginaw rally around a 16-year-old girl who was voted to homecoming court as a joke by the dick salad that is her high school student body. "It's like Carrie, but with a happy ending!" says the Detroit News. Like …

Finally! After months of mental prick and clit teasing, Julianne Moore has finally, officially, signed on to play the tyrannical mother in the highly anticipated remake of Carrie. It's not the first time she's taken on the classics — playing Lila Crane in Gus Van Sant's 1998 take on Psycho — and if Chloe Moretz in the…

They're remaking Carrie. Is this news to you? I guess it shouldn't be — Hollywood is full of dummies making remakes because the world is full of dummies who refuse to see anything new. Why wouldn't they remake something so dear to so many horror loving hearts?

Every lady who has ever cried in the middle of an argument or been told to "calm down" after raising her voice knows that the best way to get other people to dismiss you as irrational is to get visibly upset. I'd say that the pervasive universal brush-off of female anger is fucking bullshit, but I don't want anyone to…

Gloria Allred, who apparently has a whole show wherein shut-ins watch her Dispense Justice on the teevee, took on a doozy of a case in a recent show, a case that pitted three popular girls against one girl who couldn't hack it with their crew. Regina George on trial!

Comic writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa — who has written for Big Love, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark and worked on the graphic novel adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand — is penning the script for a remake of 1976 horror film Carrie. For those unfamiliar with the story, the trailer above gives most of it away:…

In a review of Uninvited, a new horror movie opening this Friday, New York Times writer and culture critic Terrence Rafferty explores the “strange girl” trope that has become common in books and film.

On the heels of Tracie's collection of castration scenes comes this Onion A.V. Club post on 22 films about vengeful women. There's some overlap between the castration movies and the lady revenge flicks (I Spit On Your Grave), but the A.V. Club's list also includes many modern classics like Kill Bill and Carrie. Their…
