‘Carrie’ Motion Poster Is Gory, Clever

It’s been some time since we’ve seen any new marketing for Kimberly Peirce’s remake of Stephen King’s Carrie. I’m quite excited for the film, as both the trailer and released still photos have looked well shot, emotional, and disturbing.

A new motion poster for the film has just debuted online, and while showing off a few gory pieces of the film, it’s also clever and hilarious. Take a look at it below, and you’ll see what I mean.

Keep calm and Carrie on indeed. I’m as sick of that phrase as the next guy, but that is an amazing, hilarious exception. Carrie hits theatres on October 18th, and I can’t wait! How do you feel about a remake of this classic?

The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White and her daughter Carrie. Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson, but only Chris’ best friend, Sue Snell, regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross, to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc.
